Check device compatibilitySlovakia's mobile network has a rich history, beginning in the early 1990s when the first NMT network operator, EuroTel Bratislava, introduced the first GSM service to the public in 1997. EuroTel was later privatized and rebranded as T-Mobile in 2005. The second GSM network operator, GlobTel, started operations in 1997 and was acquired by France Télécom, rebranded as Orange Slovensko in 2002. Telefónica Europe entered the market in 2007 under the O2 brand.
Today, the mobile network in Slovakia is dominated by four main operators: Orange, Slovak Telekom, O2, and 4ka. These operators offer a range of services, including postpaid and prepaid plans, with a focus on mobile data and 5G connectivity. The market is highly competitive, with significant investments in network infrastructure to provide high-speed internet and reliable mobile services across the country.
Key figures include:
- Active mobile cellular subscribers: 6.0 million (2011).
- Mobile cellular density: 105.12 subscriptions per 100 inhabitants (2010).
- Land coverage of GSM: 95.9% of the land area (2010).
- Population coverage of GSM: 99.6% of the population (2010).
