About Si.mobil
Si.mobil began offering its services in March 1999 as the first privately owned mobile operator in Slovenia.

Si.mobil was also the first operator in Slovenia to introduce and offer GPRS and WAP services and multimedia messaging. It was the first Slovenian operator and one of the first European operators to provide fast data rates over EDGE technology, and later it also provided mobile broadband internet over its own UMTS/HSDPA network. In 2012, Si.mobil became the first in Slovenia to commercially offer services over an LTE network.
At the end of 2013, Si.mobil employed 418 people, who provided services to 679,200 customers. Si.mobil has received a number of awards and certificates for its successful operations.
