Questions about Swiss mobile plans
MEconomy lists the plans side by side, sorted by price only: no provider can pay for a higher place. Each price shows the date we last confirmed it on the provider’s page.
Promo prices are real, but read three things before you sign: (1) whether the discount lasts for a set number of months or for the life of the subscription, (2) the price you pay once it ends, (3) whether the contract renews automatically. Where the provider states a regular price, MEconomy shows it next to the promo price; where it states nothing, we say so.

Switzerland is not part of the EU’s “Roam like at home” rules, so each provider sets its own roaming prices. Since 01.07.2021, Swiss rules require providers to let you set a personal roaming cost limit before you use roaming, to bill roaming calls by the second and data by the kilobyte, to keep roaming packages valid for at least 12 months, and to inform you at least once a year about prices, cost limits and blocking. If a bill seems wrong, complain to the provider in writing; if that does not solve it, go to Ombudscom, the telecom ombudsman (ombudscom.ch).

Near the border your phone can connect to a foreign network that is stronger than the Swiss one. To avoid it: (1) in your phone’s settings, turn off automatic network selection and choose your Swiss network by hand, (2) turn off data roaming when you do not need it, (3) set a low roaming cost limit with your provider or ask it to block roaming. If you are charged for roaming while you were in Switzerland, complain in writing and keep any proof of where you were.

Most plans that include EU roaming give a fixed allowance of data per month rather than unlimited data. Use the EU roaming filter on this page to see which plans include it and how much; the comparison table shows the allowance where the provider states it. A plan whose roaming terms we could not read says “EU roaming not stated”.

Each provider sets its notice period in its contract terms, often as a number of days or months before the end of the minimum term. Check the terms before you sign, put the last cancellation date in your calendar, send the cancellation in writing and keep the confirmation. The comparison table shows the notice period where the provider states it.

If you signed a contract with a minimum term, the contract can require you to pay when you leave early: for example the remaining monthly fees, or the discount you received on a phone or on the subscription. What you owe depends on the contract you signed, so read the early-termination clause before you sign. If you think a fee is not in your contract, complain to the provider in writing and then to Ombudscom.

Many contracts renew automatically unless you cancel within the notice period, and a promotional discount may end at that point. Read the renewal clause, set a reminder well before the minimum term ends, and ask your provider for its current offers before the renewal date. A plan without a minimum term can usually be cancelled with its notice period at any time.

Moving abroad does not by law end a mobile contract; what applies is the contract you signed. Ask your provider early, show your deregistration (Abmeldung) from your commune, and ask in writing whether it waives the remaining term. If you cannot agree, Ombudscom can mediate.

An MVNO uses its host network’s towers, so coverage is the same, but its terms can set a lower maximum speed or a lower priority when the network is busy. Read the speed and fair-use terms of the plan; most people will not notice a difference for everyday use, heavy users at busy times may.

Not always. VoLTE (calls over 4G and 5G) and Wi-Fi calling depend on the provider and on your phone. If you rely on Wi-Fi calling, for example in a building with poor signal, check the provider’s list of supported phones before you switch.

Many recent smartphones accept one physical SIM plus one eSIM, and some accept two eSIMs. That lets you keep your Swiss number and add a travel or data-only plan. Whether a provider offers eSIM, and at what price, is in its terms; the comparison table shows it where the provider states it.

Ask your new provider to port your number (Nummernportierung); it handles the cancellation with your old provider. To avoid delays: (1) your name and address must match exactly at both providers, (2) check your old contract’s end date and notice period, (3) settle any open bills. There can be a short interruption on the day of the switch. A foreign number cannot be ported to a Swiss provider.

Look for a plan with unlimited data in Switzerland, then read its fair-use clause: some “unlimited” plans slow you down after a stated amount or reserve the right to. On MEconomy, filter by unlimited data and compare the speed and fair-use terms.

Start with a plan without a minimum term until you know what you need. Every SIM in Switzerland, prepaid included, must be registered with an official ID (passport, ID card or Swiss residence permit). A plan with a monthly bill usually also needs a Swiss address. A foreign number cannot be ported, so you will get a new Swiss (+41) number. MEconomy compares Swiss providers side by side.

Check: (1) the activation fee, (2) the SIM or eSIM fee, (3) roaming outside the included allowance, (4) premium-rate numbers (0900, 0901, 0906), (5) the price after a promotion ends, (6) the fee for leaving before the minimum term ends. The comparison table shows the activation fee and SIM cost where the provider states them, and says “Not stated” where it does not.

Keep every invoice and compare it with your contract. Complain to the provider in writing (email or contact form) so you have a record. If it is not resolved, go to Ombudscom (ombudscom.ch), the telecom ombudsman; the procedure is free for customers. For questions about the rules themselves, the Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM, BAKOM in German) publishes guidance.

Yes. Numbers starting with 0900, 0901 and 0906 are premium-rate services that are charged on top of your plan and are not part of “unlimited calls”. You can ask your provider to block premium-rate numbers on your line, which is a good idea on a child’s phone.

Prepaid has no contract and no monthly bill: you top up credit and use it. You still need an official ID to register the SIM. Check how long credit stays valid and when an unused number is switched off; both are set in the provider’s terms. The Prepaid filter on this page shows prepaid plans only.

Prepaid gives a natural spending limit, and a plan without a minimum term lets you switch easily. Ask the provider to block premium-rate numbers and, if you want it, roaming. Some providers have youth plans or parental controls; check their terms.

Yes, several Swiss providers offer data-only plans; the Data only filter on this page shows them. If you want to use your normal plan as a hotspot instead, check that its terms allow tethering.

First complain to your provider in writing and keep the records. If that does not solve it, go to Ombudscom (ombudscom.ch), the independent telecom ombudsman; it handles disputes about bills, contracts and service, and the procedure is free for customers. Keep screenshots, emails and the dates and names of every call.

Not for contracts signed online or in a shop: Swiss law has no general right to withdraw from those. The Code of Obligations (Art. 40a-40f) gives a 14-day right of withdrawal only when the contract was concluded at your home or workplace, on public transport or in the street, at a promotional event linked to an excursion, or by telephone, and only if you did not ask for the meeting yourself and the amount is over CHF 100. Some providers offer their own trial period; check their terms before you sign.

It depends on the countries you call. Some plans include calls to the EU or to named countries; others charge per minute. Compare the plans on this page and check each provider’s list of included countries and prices before you choose.
