2G and 3G status at A1 Slovenija
| Network | Status | Date | Confidence | Sources and notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2G | Planned | 2030 | low | korewireless.com, a1.si KORE (and emnify) list 2030-12-31; no A1 announcement found. A1's network page still shows a 2G coverage layer and GSM speeds. Wireless Logic claims a 2G shutdown on 30 June 2024, which conflicts and was not verified. |
| 3G | Switched off | 30 June 2023 | medium | a1.si, korewireless.com A1 announced 3G switch-off on 30 June (release undated, spring 2023); KORE marks it finished on 2023-06-30. Voice falls back to 2G. |
Confidence is high when the operator or the regulator states the date, medium when several independent sources agree, low otherwise. We recheck every month.
What it means for IoT devices on A1 Slovenija
- 2G devices keep working until the shutdown (2030). Replace 2G-only devices before that date; once the network closes, they lose service on A1 Slovenija.
- 3G fallback no longer works on A1 Slovenija. Devices built for 3G (UMTS) or that fall back to it lose service; 4G devices with 2G fallback are not affected by this closure.
- For new devices, choose 4G-based technologies: LTE Cat-1 bis, LTE-M or NB-IoT where the network offers them.
- Foreign SIMs in Slovenia: permanent roaming is governed by the EU roaming regulation, which generally allows it under wholesale agreements between operators. Details on the Slovenia page.
An M2M.global IoT SIM is not tied to a single network in a country, and its data can reach your cloud without the internet through private delivery.
