What is a prepaid mobile offer?

Prepaid offers allow you to make phone calls, chat and surf the internet in Switzerland and abroad. Prepaid is different from a classic subscription because it allows you to pay in advance for your consumption. This way, you avoid unpleasant surprises at the end of the month, since you never pay more than what you have decided beforehand. No more worrying about surprise bills at the end of the month. You prepay your blocked plan which is limited to the volume of minutes and data included. Prepaid is therefore the assurance of the best prices.

Easy to use and without constraint, prepaid exists in two forms. You can select a Pay-As-You-Go formula by adding credit on your SIM card. This amount is then used for the per-minute rate according to the price set by your operator. Or, a second option allows you to select a predefined pack according to your needs, including a certain number of minutes and data.

With a prepaid pack, you have the choice of requesting a new number or transferring your current number. Once your pack or credit expires you are informed, which allows you to recharge your SIM card according to your choice. You can then add credit manually or set up an automatic renewal for more convenience. You keep control of your spending.

Another important advantage of prepaid is that you have no commitment or contract. You are thus free to come, change or stop your pack whenever you want.

A prepaid mobile plan is an excellent choice for all kinds of users. Most of the Swiss operators and phone providers offer prepaid plans, including:

• Swisscom
• Sunrise
• Salt
• Aldi mobile
• Coop Mobile
• Das Abo
• M-Budget
• Yallo
• Wingo
• And, of course, MUCHO Mobile.
