If you are moving to Switzerland soon, there are many concerns that should keep you up at night. You need to make sure that your accommodation is confirmed, that all your luggage is ready, that you have a valid ID card, that you have insurance and many more. In addition to this long list, you also need to find the right Swiss mobile plan<\/strong>. The one that will allow you to call and surf in Switzerland at the best price without commitment<\/a><\/span> while staying in touch with your relatives in Europe.<\/p>\n

You have probably already thought about keeping your current plan for Switzerland. However, the roaming fees would lead to high expenses and an uncertain bill at the end of the month. Moreover, a Swiss cell phone number is essential to allow you to integrate in this new country for your work as well as for your administrative procedures.<\/p>\n

When you move to Switzerland, you will have a wide choice to find the Swiss mobile plan without commitment <\/strong>that suits you. Here is everything you need to know before you leave to help you select the best Swiss mobile operator<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Make sure you have good mobile network coverage in Switzerland<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"couverture-reseau-mobile-suisse-min\"Before choosing your package, you should make sure that the operator you choose has good coverage for its Swiss mobile network. Without a good network quality, a package would not be of much use to you. To take advantage of your subscription, especially in remote areas, you can consult the coverage map 3G \/ 4G \/ 5G Switzerland<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Switzerland has one of the highest telephone connection rates in Europe with a coverage of up to 99.9% for calls on the mobile network. In Switzerland, the network is operated by three major operators: Salt, Sunrise and Swisscom. But these are not the only mobile providers. The country actually has about 25 operators, including MUCHO Mobile<\/a><\/span>. This operator offers alternative solutions using one of these main networks, thus offering the same network quality.<\/p>\n

Be aware of each operator’s terms of engagement<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"V\u00e9rifierWe tend to read what is written on the back of most products we buy. But do we really read the terms and conditions of each service? We almost never notice that we are actually paying more than advertised, with hidden rates at the end of the month. In particular, are you aware of the contracts you are signing up for? Do you know how much the operator will charge you if you decide to break the service before the end of the commitment?<\/p>\n

Most Swiss mobile plans operate on a 12 to 24 month commitment. This means that if you leave before the end of this period, you will have to pay a termination fee proportional to the remaining commitment period. If you have 15 months of contract left, you will have to pay the equivalent of 15 monthly payments. That’s CHF 375 for a package of CHF 25 per month. But fortunately, there are many telephone operators who have banned these commitments, leaving you free to come and go as you please. So take the time to read and understand the terms and conditions of the mobile service you are signing up for before you commit to it. Make sure you find an operator that is completely transparent and clear about your expenses.<\/p>\n

Opt for a prepaid Swiss mobile plan for more flexibility<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"OptezBanning commitments is one of the great advantages of prepaid mobile<\/strong>. You are free to come and go whenever you want without any cancellation fees. Prepaid offers allow you to communicate in Switzerland and in Europe in the same way as a subscription. What makes them different is the way you pay for your usage. With a classic subscription, you select your package and pay at the end of the month for your subscription and any additional expenses you may have incurred. With prepaid, the way it works is different because you pay in advance for your consumption. This means that you can select a mobile package<\/a><\/span>. You will never spend more than what you initially chose. This way you stay in control and avoid unpleasant surprises at the end of the month.<\/p>\n

Prepaid mobile offers for Switzerland and Europe<\/strong> include a certain number of minutes for Switzerland and Europe, a volume of internet in Switzerland and Roaming in Europe. There are many mobile operators offering prepaid offers. To help you find your way around you can consult our mobile comparison on Swiss prepaid mobile offers<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"Comprendre<\/p>\n

Why pay for an unlimited call plan if you’re just chatting with your friends? And why would you have an unlimited internet connection if you only use it to read the press and surf the net? We all pay close attention to our expenses and try to save as much as possible. So, the first step to choose the right mobile operator in Switzerland is to analyze your phone expenses. Check your internet data and minutes consumption during the last months. You can then easily calculate an average cost to meet your mobile needs.<\/p>\n

Are you the type of person who spends long hours on the phone? Will your new home be equipped with Wi-Fi? Once you’ve defined your daily usage, you’ll be able to find the offer with the right amount of minutes and internet volume for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
