eSIM data plans for Switzerland

Two ways to get data in Switzerland: by the gigabyte, or by the day, unlimited.

Matching the plan to the trip

A short city break suits an unlimited day plan sized to the exact number of days in Switzerland: 3 days, 5 days, a week. Each unlimited plan includes a fair use policy: past a daily amount, speed is reduced for the rest of that day. Apps such as SBB Mobile, used for train tickets, timetables and platform updates, also run on a data connection. Someone travelling longer, or splitting time across several countries on one trip, tends to sit closer to a data size, picking 5GB or 10GB for a week of maps and messaging, and 20GB or 50GB for a month that includes streaming.

If the data runs low

On the fixed data plans, if the data is used up before the trip ends, a top-up restores it on the same eSIM, so it is easy to start with a smaller size and add more only if needed.

Buying ahead

Validity begins the first time the eSIM connects to a network in Switzerland, not at the moment of purchase or installation. It can be installed any time before departure, and the plan simply waits until arrival to start.

Hotspot and sharing

Hotspot and tethering are included on every plan, fixed data and unlimited alike, so a phone's connection in Switzerland can be shared with a laptop or another device.
