Bulgaria’s Consumer Protection Commission is checking the planned rise in prices of telecom services under existing contracts. Two mobile operators are already sending messages to their clients that prices of their services are to increase as of 2022. The Consumer Protection Commission is checking whether the increase "complies with the terms of the contracts and the approved general terms and conditions".

Telenor has announced that prices of its services will increase by 5% in January next year. A1 is planning to amend prices in the first quarter of 2022 due to inflation. According to A1, such changes are provided for in the contracts and clients cannot terminate their contracts without paying the due penalties.
