Slovenia: Buy the Best SIM Cards | 2024 Guide

Slovenia – known for its stunning landscapes, skiing opportunities & lakes.

It is apparently also one of the most environmentally friendly countries worldwide.

And my dad agrees – he says it is one of the cleanest countries he has ever visited (and the contrast is apparently apparent when you visit the Granični Prijelaz Bregana (Croatia-Slovenia) border crossing).

So, what can you do in Slovenia?

You better visit at least one of the stunning lakes, like Lake Bled or Lake Bohinj.

If you are into caves, visit Postojna Cave or the Skocjan Caves.

Of course, you cannot miss the castles, like Ljubljana Castle or Predjama Castle.

As you can see, the country has a lot to offer.

What it cannot offer you, unless you have an EU/EEA SIM card, is low international roaming rates.

International roaming can be expensive, which is why I always recommend local SIM cards, like a Slovenian one, so that you can enjoy local rates.

And oh boy – SIM cards are inexpensive in Slovenia.

You can get a Slovenian SIM card for 2 EUR (2.15 USD) from Telemach Slovenia (formerly Tušmobil), 3/6 EUR (3.20/6.40 USD) from A1 Slovenia (formerly Si.mobil) & 8.50 EUR (9.05 USD) from Telekom Slovenije (formerly Mobitel Slovenia/Slovenije), in their stores or resellers, like post offices. SIM cards are not sold at Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (LJU).

Those prices are not too bad, right?

And besides low SIM card prices, the cost of mobile data is low in Slovenia too.

So a Slovenian SIM card is worth the investment.

In this guide, I will go over everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Slovenia. Let's get started, shall we?

Can You Buy a SIM Card in Slovenia?

Anyone living in or visiting Slovenia can buy a Slovenian SIM card from Telekom Slovenije (formerly Mobitel Slovenia/Slovenije), A1 Slovenia (formerly Si.mobil), Telemach Slovenia (formerly Tušmobil) & many MVNO with no restrictions.

Your phone has to support the frequencies used in Slovenia.

Furthermore, your phone needs to be unlocked (SIM-lock free) to use a Slovenian SIM card.

Where Can You Buy a SIM Card in Slovenia?

You can get a Slovenian SIM card in Telekom Slovenije (formerly Mobitel Slovenia/Slovenije), A1 Slovenia (formerly Si.mobil), Telemach Slovenia (formerly Tušmobil) stores. Resellers, like post offices, also sell SIM cards (especially for the MVNOs). They are not sold at Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (LJU).

You can expect to pay the following for Slovenian SIM cards:

• Telekom Slovenije (formerly Mobitel Slovenia/Slovenije): 8.50 EUR (regular), 9.89 EUR (data-only) & 29.90 EUR (data-only)
• A1 Slovenia (formerly Si.mobil): 3 EUR/6 EUR (regular) & 10 EUR (data-only)
• Telemach Slovenia (formerly Tušmobil): 2 EUR (regular), 2 EUR/3 EUR (data-only) & 6.99 EUR (regular)
• MVNOs (like IZI(mobil)): being added later

Can You Use Your Phone in Slovenia?

Slovenia uses GSM technology for mobile communications. CDMA phones will not work in Slovenia. If your phone has a SIM card slot, then it supports GSMA (99% of the phones do support GSM nowadays).

Traditional European frequencies are used in Slovenia, which are mostly used in ITU Regions 1 and 3 (Africa, Asia (including the Middle East), Europe & Oceania).

The Americas (North-, Central– & South America + the Caribbean – ITU Region 2) use American frequencies, which differ from the European ones.

If you bought your phone in Africa, Asia, Europe, or Oceania (ITU Regions 1 and 3), you should not experience any issues with using your phone in Slovenia.

If you purchased your phone in the Americas (ITU Region 2) and have a low/medium-end device (without Tri-Band or Quad-Band) support, then there is a possibility you cannot use your phone when in Slovenia or can only use slower networks (3G or 2G).

If you have a medium/high-end device with Tri-Band or Quad-Band support, you can use your phone in Slovenia (to some extent) – also on 4G/LTE and 5G NR.

Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies in Slovenia

Slovenia has three mobile operators and various Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs – being added later) offering prepaid services:

• Telekom Slovenije (formerly Mobitel)
• A1 Slovenia (formerly Si.mobil)
• Telemach Slovenia (formerly Tušmobil)

The following frequencies are used in Slovenia:

• 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
• 3G: 900 MHz & 2100 MHz
• 4G/LTE: 800 MHz (Band 20), 900 MHz (band 8), 1800 MHz (Band 3) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
• 5G NR: 2600 MHz (n7) & 3600 MHz (n78)

You can learn more about frequencies in the video below.

To check whether your phone will work in Slovenia, check out this page by Kimovil or this one by Will My Phone Work (outdated, unfortunately, but extremely user-friendly – useful for phones launched in or before 2019. It does not check for 5G NR compatibility).

Again, make sure your phone is unlocked. Otherwise, you will not be able to use any SIM card except the one from your home operator (meaning you have to roam internationally or buy another unlocked phone that does support the frequencies listed above).

If you want to learn how international roaming works, this guide explains it in-depth. If you wonder why it is often so expensive to roam, this article explains the hidden reason they do not want you to know.

A Note about T-2

T-2 is the second-largest fixed-broadband provider in Slovenia.

It started offering mobile services back in 2005.

However, T-2 focused on postpad customers only. It does not offer prepaid services.

As a result, T-2 will not be covered in this guide.

Worry not – it has the worst network and the slowest speeds in the country, so you are not missing out on anything.

VoLTE & VoWiFi in Slovenia

Both VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G) – also known as HD Voice) and VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi – also known as WiFi calling) are available in Slovenia. All Slovenian mobile operators offer VoLTE, but not VoWiFi.

This means that your phone does not have to downgrade to 2G or 3G when making a call in Slovenia (unlike mobile operators that do not support VoLTE).

The following mobile operators offer VoLTE and VoWiFi in Slovenia:

• Telekom Slovenije (formerly Mobitel Slovenia/Slovenije)

The following mobile operators offer VoLTE only in Slovenia:

• A1 Slovenia (formerly Si.mobil)
• Telemach Slovenia (formerly Tušmobil)

VoWiFi is, as the name implies, calling on a WiFi connection as opposed to on a cellular network.

5G NR in Slovenia

Commercial 5G NR has been available in Slovenia since June 2021. It is available on the Telekom Slovenije (formerly Mobitel Slovenia/Slovenije), A1 Slovenia (formerly Si.mobil), Telemach Slovenia (formerly Tušmobil). However, prepaid customers (including MVNO users) cannot use 5G NR (yet).

Best eSIM in Slovenia

Telekom Slovenije (formerly Mobitel Slovenia/Slovenije), A1 Slovenia (formerly Si.mobil), Telemach Slovenia (formerly Tušmobil) offer eSIMs, but it is unclear if they are available to prepaid customers too.

I will ask the mobile operators about this March when I revisit Slovenia 🇸🇮😎.

As promised, I would ask the mobile operators if they offer eSIM to prepaid customers – they do not 😔.

However, you can also get a travel eSIM from various eSIM providers.

The list below is not exhaustive – many more providers have eSIMs for Slovenia.

But these are the ones I have tried and had pleasant experiences with.

Moreover, they are reasonably priced, which I find very important (you will not see me recommending an eSIM I would not buy myself).

So here are the 11 best eSIMs for Slovenia:

• Airalo Živjo eSIM with 5G NR access with six choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (best value for money)
• Holafly Slovenia eSIM with unlimited data for 5 to 90 days (unlimited data eSIMs) + ability to make and receive calls (new) – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ for 5% off)
• Nomad Slovenia eSIM with ten choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (best value for money… too – use code ADU123 for 3 USD off)
• Airalo Eurolink eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 100 GB (best value for money for 39 European countries) – read my ongoing Airalo Eurolink eSIM review too!
• Alosim Europe eSIM with five choices between 1 GB and 10 GB (priced roughly the same as Airalo with worse coverage – use code PTW for 5% off)
• Holafly Europe eSIM with 5G NR access in Slovenia with unlimited data for 5 to 60 days (unlimited data eSIMs for 32 European countries) + ability to make and receive calls (new)
• Nomad Europe eSIM with 11 choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (the best of both worlds in terms of pricing and performance for 35 European countries)
• SimOptions Europe eSIMs with seven choices between 8 GB and 24 GB (choice from multiple mobile operators + calling & texting options (the only one in this list))
• Airalo Discover(+) eSIM (formerly Discover Global) with 12 choices between 1 GB and 20 GB (extensive global coverage (130+ countries) at attractive prices) + ability to make and receive calls & send and receive SMS (new) – read my ongoing Airalo Discover(+) (Global) eSIM review too!
• AIS eSIM2FLY Global eSIM through SimOptions with 5G NR access in Slovenia with one 6 GB option (eSIM with the most 5G NR supported countries (53/143) at a reasonable price but with a short validity)
• Nomad Global eSIM with six choices between 1 GB and 5 GB (extensive global coverage (109 or 139 countries) at high(er) prices – use code ADU123 for 3 USD off)

Because this is the SIM card buying guide for Slovenia, I will not spend too much time about travel eSIMs here and throughout this guide (but I will still do here and there).

If you want to learn more about the best eSIMs for Slovenia, you better check out my Slovenia eSIM buying guide.

It is as helpful and comprehensive as this guide but about eSIMs instead 😜.

SIM Card Registration in Slovenia

SIM card registration, with the use of your personal information (such as your passport), is not required when buying a SIM card in Slovenia.

EU Roaming in Slovenia

Slovenia is part of the European Union (EU).

Since June 2017, those with EU/EEA (European Economic Area) SIM cards can roam for free in other EU/EEA nations, including Slovenia.

This means that, in the majority of cases, you do not need to purchase a Slovenian SIM card if you already have an EU/EEA SIM card because you can roam without additional costs.

However, conditions do apply. Mobile operators in some countries may impose a roaming Fair Use Policy (FUP).

In countries where local mobile data rates are extremely low (such as in the Baltics and the Nordics), mobile operators may still charge you for roaming in the EU/EEA.

Be sure to head over to the international roaming page to learn whether your mobile operator offers free roaming while in Slovenia or if restrictions apply.

Roaming in the EU with Slovenian SIM Cards

Slovenia and the Slovenian mobile operators have largely adopted the roam like at home regulations principles early on.

However, some plans have an EU/EEA roaming cap.

Moreover, the standard Fair Use Policy applies where you should not be roaming over 50% of the time over a four-month period.

If you do so, EU roaming rates will apply. You are then better off buying local prepaid SIM cards in other EU nations.

Note that Telekom Slovenije (formerly Mobitel Slovenia/Slovenije) requires you to register your SIM card with a Slovenian permanent address and a Slovenian TIN (tax number).

A1 Slovenia (formerly Si.mobil) claims that they may request for stable links to Slovenia, but it does not always enforce it.

You can roam for free with Telemach Slovenia (formerly Tušmobil) without having to provide any sort of proof/stable links to Slovenia.

Currency in Slovenia

Slovenia uses the Euro with the symbol EUR (which will be used throughout this guide).

However, prices are often listed as just €. For example, 25 EUR = €25.

For reference, below are some exchange rates between EUR and USD (US Dollars):

• 1 EUR = 1.05 USD
• 10 EUR = 10.70 USD
• 100 EUR = 107 USD

For up-to-date EUR:your currency (let's say HRK – Croatian Koruna) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.

Slovenian Prepaid SIM Cards

Below, I will guide you through Telekom Slovenije (formerly Mobitel Slovenia/Slovenije), A1 Slovenia (formerly Si.mobil), Telemach Slovenia (formerly Tušmobil) & many MVNOs that will be added later, and go through:

• Background information
• Mobile coverage
• SIM card types, prices & availability
• Recharge/top-up information
• Combo plans, data plans & special packs (such as social media packs)

With that being said, let’s see what Slovenia has to offer to us.

---

Telekom Slovenije (Slovenia – formerly Mobitel)

Telekom Slovenije, formerly Mobitel Slovenije, is the largest mobile operator in Slovenia.

It also has the best overall network.

Telekom Slovenije hosts the most MVNOs in Slovenia.

Telekom Slovenija is also active in Kosovo (as IPKO) and in various other Balkan nations as a fiber-optic provider.

Telekom Slovenije uses the following frequencies:

• 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
• 3G: 2100 MHz
• 4G/LTE: 800 MHz (Band 20), 900 MHz (Band 8), 1800 MHz (Band 3) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
• 5G NR: 2600 MHz (n7) & 3500 MHz (n78) – not for prepaid customers (yet)
• VoLTE: Yes
• VoWiFi: Yes

This is what you will learn about Telekom Slovenije:

* How to Get a Telekom Slovenije SIM Card & SIM Card Price
* Topping Up Options & Methods + Balance Check
* Plans & Packages
* APN/Internet Settings

Coverage – Telekom Slovenije

Telekom Slovenije has the best coverage in Slovenia.

This was also confirmed by Opensignal.

Below is Telekom Slovenije's coverage map produced by Speedtest:

However, click here to see Telekom Slovenije's official coverage map.

SIM Card Price – Telekom Slovenije

You can get a Telekom Slovenije SIM card, called Mobi, for 8.50 EUR with 5 EUR credit in Telekom Slovenije stores and from resellers, like gas stations and post offices. Data-only SIM cards (Predplačniški Mobilni Internet SIM) are sold for 9.89 EUR (1 GB for 1 day) or 29.90 EUR (15 GB for 100 days). Telekom Slovenije SIM cards are not sold at Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (LJU).

Below is an overview of the three Telekom Slovenije SIM cards:

Price	SIM Card	Credit	Data	Validity
8.50 EUR	Mobi	5 EUR	N/A	N/A
9.89 EUR	Predplačniški Mobilni Internet	N/A	“Unlimited”, 1 GB high-speed	1 day
29.90 EUR	Predplačniški Mobilni Internet 100 Dni	N/A	“Unlimited”, 15 GB high-speed	100 days

You may have to text VoLTE or VoWiFi to 1918 to activate these services.

It is also possible to get a Telekom Slovenije eSIM for the same price as a regular SIM card.

You can consider getting a travel eSIM for Slovenia, which can, in specific scenarios, be cheaper than getting a SIM card from Telekom Slovenije.

Especially if you get a Europe-wide eSIM (for when you visit at least two or more supported European countries) or a global eSIM (for frequent travelers visiting multiple continents).

In my Slovenia eSIM buying guide, I analyze various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide.

But I will introduce them here quickly:

• Airalo: Živjo (Slovenia only), Eurolink (39 countries in Europe) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + up to 200 worldwide minutes & 200 worldwide SMS) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)
• Alosim: Slovenia & Europe (32 countries) – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
• Holafly: Slovenia & Europe (32 countries) – all variants in both options include unlimited data + up to 120 Europe-wide calls – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
• Nomad: Slovenia, Europe (30 or 35 countries, depending on the variant) & Global (109 or 139 countries, depending on the variant) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)

Once again, check out my Slovenia eSIM buying guide to learn more about these eSIM options.

For now, I will continue with Telekom Slovenije.

Note that Telekom Slovenije offers VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G)) if your phone supports it and you have enabled it in the settings.

Oh, you can also use VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi).

If EU/EEA roaming is important to you, consider one of the other mobile operators or MVNOs.

For completeness, below is still a list of countries eligible for EU/EEA roaming with Telekom Slovenije:

As Telekom Slovenije does not have dedicated EU/EEA roaming allowances, you can use your full allowance without restrictions in other EU/EEA member states.

Telemach Slovenia (formerly Tušmobil)

Telemach Slovenia, just Telemach and formerly Tušmobil, is the smallest mobile operator in Slovenia.

Currently, it has the fastest 5G NR speeds. However, the technology is unavailable to prepaid customers (yet) 🥲.

Telemach, as a company, is also active in Croatia as a mobile operator, and as a cable operator in Bosnia & Herzegovina and Montenegro.

Telemach uses the following frequencies:

• 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
• 3G: 900 MHz & 2100 MHz
• 4G/LTE: 700 MHz (Band 28), 800 MHz (Band 20), 1800 MHz (Band 3) & 2100 MHz (Band 1)
• 5G NR: 700 MHz (n28) & 3600 MHz (n78) – not for prepaid customers (yet)

Coverage – Telemach Slovenia (formerly Tušmobil)

Telemach has the best 4G/LTE availability throughout Slovenia,

This was also confirmed by Opensignal.

Below is Telemach's coverage map produced by Speedtest:

However, click here to see Telemach's official coverage map.

SIM Card Price – Telemach Slovenia (formerly Tušmobil)

You can get a Telemach SIM card, called FREE2GO, for 2 EUR with 5 EUR credit or 6.99 EUR with 10 000 units in Telemach stores and from resellers, like gas stations and post offices. Data-only SIM cards (NET2GO) are sold for 2 EUR or 3 EUR, depending on the store, with unlimited data for 96 hours (4 days) @ 3G speeds. Telemach SIM cards are not sold at Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport (LJU).

It is also possible to get a Telemach eSIM for the same price as a regular SIM card.

You should consider getting a travel eSIM for Slovenia because they can sometimes be cheaper than getting a SIM card from Telemach.

Especially if you get a Europe-wide eSIM or a global eSIM.

I discuss various eSIM options of eSIM providers for Slovenia in my Slovenia eSIM buying guide, which are:

• Airalo: Živjo (Slovenia only), Eurolink (39 countries in Europe) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + minutes and SMS) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)
• Alosim: Slovenia & Europe (32 countries) – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
• Holafly: Slovenia & Europe (32 countries) – unlimited data eSIMs which allow for (limited) calls – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
• Nomad: Slovenia, Europe (up to 35 countries) & Global (up to 139 countries) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)

As I said, check out my Slovenia eSIM buying guide for more information, as I have to continue with Telemach for now.

Note that Telemach offers VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G)) if your phone supports it and you have enabled it in the settings but no VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi).
