Don't call back numbers you don't know
One-ring scams ring once so that you call back a line that charges by the minute. If the call matters, the caller will try again or leave a message.

Bulgaria Country Code: Frequently Asked Questions
Dialling Bulgaria, number formats and calls.

Dial 011, then 359, then the number without the first 0: 02 1 23 45 becomes 011 359 2 1 23 45. On a mobile you can also dial +359 2 1 23 45.
Yes. The 0 is only dialled inside Bulgaria. From abroad, 02 1 23 45 is +359 2 1 23 45.
8 or 9 digits after +359, for example +359 43 012 345. Inside Bulgaria the same number is written 043 012 345.
Save it in your contacts with + and the country code, and leave out the first 0 of the number: +359 43 012 345. WhatsApp needs the full international format.
