Power & Connectivity (SIM)

Slovenia uses 230V / 50Hz with Type C and Type F sockets (European two round pins). Bring a Type C/F adapter; travellers from 100–120V countries need a converter for devices that are not dual-voltage.

The main operators are Telekom Slovenije (Mobitel), A1, Telemach and T-2, with strong nationwide 4G/5G. Prepaid SIMs are sold at operator shops, kiosks and supermarkets; passport ID may be required at purchase. EU visitors can use their home plan at no extra cost ("roam like at home").

eSIM travel plans (such as Airalo or Holafly) are a convenient option that ride on local networks: buy one online before arrival and install it in minutes, with no physical SIM or shop visit. EU visitors may simply use home roaming instead.

Wi-Fi is widely available in hotels, cafés and at the airport, and mobile coverage is good in towns and cities. Free Wi-Fi is common in central Ljubljana. Use a VPN on public networks for sensitive tasks like banking.

Slovenia has an open internet with no significant restrictions. All standard apps and services — messaging, social media, maps and streaming — work normally.

Handy apps include the LPP app for Ljubljana buses, maps, parking payment and translation. Ride-hailing is limited: Uber is not really present, while Bolt operates in some cities alongside local taxi services. Contactless payment apps such as Apple Pay and Google Pay are widely accepted.

Slovenia's country code is +386, and the general emergency number is 112. App-based calls (WhatsApp, FaceTime and similar) are common, and EU roaming lets EU visitors call normally. Save numbers in full +386 format so they work from any network.
