The company was established in December 1997[2] and began operating in March 1999[3] as the Slovenian first private mobile operator.[4] In 2000, the company was the second to market WAP, preceded by Mobitel.[5]

An important step forward was signing a partnership agreement with Vodafone in January 2002, which enabled Si.mobil to establish itself as the price leader that offers global products and services.[9] From September 2003, the company is presented under the dual brand Si.mobil - Vodafone[4] [ˈsiːmɔbil ˈʋoːdafɔn].

In 2004, the company was one of the first operators worldwide to offer EDGE,[4][10] and in 2006, they introduced its own UMTS/HSDPA network.[11] In addition, Si.mobil offers other services like GPS on mobile phones, mobile office and mobile internet.[12] In 2007, Si.mobil was the first Slovenian company to open its office in Second Life where they have built an island.[13][14] In January 2008, it passed the milestone of 500,000 customers.[15]

Awards

Si.mobil has been bestowed with many prizes. At the 15th Slovenian Advertising Festival the company won the Advertiser of the Year award for the year 2005.[16] In 2007 they were among the first companies in Slovenia to receive the Family Friendly Enterprise Certificate for their successful balancing of work and family life.[17] As one of the most reputable employers in Slovenia they also received the Reputable Employer certificate.[18] In November 2007 they were granted Superbrands status.[19]
