Fixed telecommunications services

 

Telekom Slovenije is the largest provider of fixed telephony services in Slovenia, however there are another 10 providers of publicaly available national and international telecommunication services provided at fixed location. The price level of its services does not significantly differ from that of EU countries. The prices of national calls are low compared to the EU average and due to the existence of competition prices of international calls are very low as well.
