How to park via SMS?

Customers of Bulgaria’s mobile operators may park in the Blue Zone by sending a text message to number 1302 containing the license plate number of the vehicle.

Payment verification and monitoring of the actual time the vehicle has spent parked in the Blue Zone is implemented using a voucher bought by the driver or by a SMS.

One SMS covers the parking charge for up to 1 hour. The SMS notification of parking has to be sent immediately after the vehicle has been parked in a parking space within the BLUE ZONE.

The content of the SMS must literally reproduce the license plate of the vehicle.

The hourly rate (with VAT) for the SMS Parking and Phone Call Parking services is set by Sofia Municipal Council and is identical to the price (with VAT) of voucher parking, while the cost of the SMS is set individually according to the mobile phone plan of the client.
