Telephone numbers

A new maximum price for all international calls and SMS within the EU will come into force today.

Around 60% of the calls to the 112 emergency phone number in 2014 were unjustified, according to Stoyan Gramatikov, head of the National System 112 Directorate at the Interior Ministry.

In a Wednesday interview for the Bulgarian National Television, Gramatikov claimed that the share of malicious calls was relatively small, at 0.12%.

Bulgaria's mobile operators have introduced new cheaper tariffs on calls which come into effect on April 1, 2014.
