Mobile contract 2026

It’s a jungle out there! Comparis has a very comprehensive list of “deals” to make your head spin.

I come to the end of a 2-year Sunrise mobile contract that gives me almost everything for CHF30/month (incl lifelong discount). The only thing I can’t get is calls CH to UK - without substantially paying extra per call.

To get “international” calls one needs to pay much more than CHF30, except with Lycamobile.ch. I was with them 5 years ago and fell out when their SIM card failed while in the UK. OK, so now it’d be an eSim, but Lyca still don’t have tethering/hotspot and Wi-Fi calling, which is necessary at home.

Any thoughts? What about MTEL??

Salt network is fine and good. Unless you head into the alps a lot. There Swisscom is best. 2 year minimum contract is a duration. As for myself, using Spusu now. Also uses the Salt network but one can quit anytime.

The virtual providers on the SwissCom network (Wingo, M-Budget) have plans that include an unlimited “International calls” add-on for 20Chf/month. If you take one of the cheapest plans at 14chf/month you are just about breaking the 30 chuffs limit. The add-on can be added or removed on a monthly basis, so you can turn it off the months you don’t need it… and their plans now are on a monthly cancellation basis, so you can switch very easily if an even better offer comes around… Swisscom network is the best, you have signal almost everywhere

Within your standard contract, you can call for free using Whatsapp if the other party has that.

Rather than buying a plan for other international calls I tried using eFon - the rates are very good - to call a UK landline it costs .009 Chf/minute, to a UK mobile costs 0.018 Chf/Minute - so a one-hour call to a UK mobile would cost you about 1 Chf

So far I have had no problem with eFon

Hi, I moved recently from Swisscom to Post Mobile. I have a „Europe“ contract for 29.95 CHF/month. It includes UK. So far so good. They offer physical and esim.

I moved from Swisscom to Salt and at the time, there was no minimum contract either, so not 2 years. but I dont think this is the norm.

Oh! Really?

Every year, QoQa seem to do a Black Friday deal with Sunrise where they offer an attractive deal. It might be worth keeping your eyes peeled around that time.

I used to have Europe plan, but looking at my usage, it turned out that I make maybe 5 min per year calls, so I switched to cheapest plan with unlimited data in Europe/USA and a bit more
