eSIM or EU Roaming: What to Choose for Slovenia?
When EU Roaming is Enough
Free EU roaming (since 2017) covers Slovenia. For a 1-week stay with moderate usage, your home EU plan is probably sufficient. Check your quota in your operator's customer area.
When an eSIM is Recommended
- Stay of 2+ weeks: risk of exhausting roaming quota
- Heavy usage: streaming, video calls, hotspot
- Budget plan: some MVNOs with limited roaming
- Regular stays: fair use clause after 4 months
