Mobile phones

There are several mobile phone networks in Slovenia, the largest being Mobitel, Simobil and Tušmobil, which are pretty similar in price, quality and coverage. To avoid roaming costs from your foreign home provider or to have a handy local telephone number, travellers can purchase a prepaid SIM card to use in a GSM handset. SIM cards are for sale in all post offices, petrol stations and at 3Dva kiosks as well as at the providers' shops listed below, with M-mobil cards sold in all Mercator shops. The SIM start-up costs for all companies are between €5-17, including some phone credit. After getting the SIM card you can top up the card balance with vouchers. ID is not necessary when purchasing a SIM card.
