What and where to buy
In order use one of the following prepaid data options, you first need to buy a prepaid card from the provider you decided to use. It's all very straightforward: to go a Telekom, Si.Mobil or Tušmobil shop and ask for a prepaid internet card. No document is needed. Most prepaid cards can be bought at Petrol, OMV and MOL gas stations throughout Slovenia.
Usually sim-cards are active at once or after few minutes.
Since most sim cards come with just few euros loaded (usually 5), the first thing to do, while you are still in the shop, is to ask the dealer for a top-up in order to get some money to spend for the internet option. After you refilled the card you are ready to activate the data option you chose. You can either ask the clerk to do it for you or do it by yourself.

Tušmobil doesn't have specific data options, but every time you refill with 10 or 20 EUROs you get some special bundles including respectively unlimited calls to Tušmobil, unlimited national SMS & MMS, 100 minutes to other Slovenian networks or 100 MB of data when you refill with 10 EUROs and unlimited calls to Tušmobil, unlimited national SMS & MMS, unlimited data and 200 minutes to other Slovenian networks when you refill with 20 EUROs. You don't need to activate any option, everything is automatic and free.
Si.mobil has a similar offer but it doesn't work with refills. There are 3 options called SIMPL 5, 10 and 20. Here we listed the SIML 20 offer only since the other two have a very limited data bundle (you can see all three of them on the Si.mobil page here on PrepaidGSM.net). These offers recur automatically every 30 days. If you want to deactivate them just write SIMPLxx STOP to 448 (where xx can be 5, 10 or 20 depending on the option you have previously activated).
