You need to set the network selection to manual and it will stay on the network you choose to connect to.

Youu won't be able to connect to O2 that far away.

Try each of the ones you can choose from to see which works best.

According to the list of roaming partners for Bulgaria, you can use:

BulgariaMobilTel EAD   
BulgariaVivacom

Sounds like maybe some local network issues rather than anything else,which is nothing that O2 could help with.

Not sure if you've tried this but, turn off phone and remove sim card.

Rub it between your fingers, gently and replace it in phone.

Then try again to search for networks.

Nothing else you can do @Alistair2 

The issue is with the Bulgarian networks as I suggested above.
