How To Call Bulgarian Phone Numbers

Navigating international calling can be tricky - here's a simplified guide to dialing a Bulgarian phone number from your foreign cell phone while you're in Bulgaria.

How to Dial a Bulgarian Phone From a U.S. Cell Phone?

To dial a Bulgarian phone number from a foreign cell phone while you’re in Bulgaria, you’ll need to do the following:

  1. Exit code: Dial the exit code for the country where your cell phone is registered. For example, the exit code for the U.S. is 011, and for most European countries, it’s 00.
  2. Country code: After the exit code, dial the country code for Bulgaria, which is 359.
  3. Phone number: Next, dial the Bulgarian phone number you’re trying to reach. If the number starts with a 0 (zero), omit the leading 0 when dialing from a foreign cell phone.

So, if you call from a US phone to a Bulgarian number, your dialing format would be 011-359-(Bulgarian number without the leading 0).

Please note that international calling charges will apply according to your specific phone service plan.

How to Dial From a European Cell Phone

When you’re in Bulgaria and need to dial a Bulgarian number from a German cell phone, you need to do the following:

  1. Exit Code: Dial the exit code “00” for international German or EU cell phone calls.
  2. Country Code: Next, dial the country code for Bulgaria: 359.
  3. Phone Number: Lastly, dial the Bulgarian phone number you’re trying to reach. If the number begins with a 0 (zero), drop this 0 when dialing from a foreign cell phone.

So, if you call from a German phone to a Bulgarian number, your dialing format would be 00-359-(Bulgarian number without the leading 0).

International calling charges may apply according to your phone service plan.

The Emergency phone number 112 does not require a code.
