Examples: *01 xxx xx xx (Telekom) to 01 xxx xx xx (Telekom) dials xxx xx xx *01 xxx xx xx (Telekom) to 01 xxx xx xx (T-2) dials xxx xx xx *01 xxx xx xx (T-2) to 01 xxx xx xx (Telekom or T-2) dials 01 xxx xx xx.

The list of areas, grouped into historic and geographic larger regions: ¹Prior to 2000, the area codes were as follows: Ljubljana – 061, Trbovlje – 0601, Maribor – 062, Ravne na Koroškem – 0602, Celje – 063, Kranj – 064, Nova Gorica – 065, Koper – 066, Postojna – 067, Novo Mesto – 068, Krško – 0608, Murska Sobota – 069. ² Calling codes in the table are assigned to new customers by the respective provider. However, it has been possible to change the operator and retain the old calling code (along with the rest of the phone number) since 2006. Calling codes do not necessary reflect the operator, but it is not possible to transfer a mobile number to a land-based operator and vice versa. ³ Until 31 December 1997,http://www.sos112.si/slo/tdocs/uorgopaz.pdf the emergency numbers were: Police – 92, Fire brigade – 93, Ambulance – 94, Civil protection – 985.
