are you with this provider? being on sunrise network is nice but are the speeds throttled?
their 19.95 plan for 2 years with unlimited calls looks very tempting indeed to switch to.

No im not, I already switched to yallo black plus: https://www.yallo.ch/de/mobile-products/yallo_black_plus (via alao.ch with chf 120 shopping voucher and chf 30 cashback).
This GGA Maur deal is more than enough for me, but now it’s too late. It would also be nice if calls from Switzerland to abroad were included (I might consider negotiating with yallo in the future so I can get a bigger lifetime discount).
I couldn’t find what the maximum “high-speed” for GGA Maur is exactly.

Black Friday fail: I ordered an item a few days ago, now I see it was on sale at 99 instead of the 133 I paid. The salt in the wound? I didn’t even open the box yet.

Via e-mail. They’ve told met hat im a ‘loyal’ customer and they are offering this to a certain group of folks.
For context, i’ve been with them for ~ 3 years, internet only, though their most expensive package, and i’ve signed an another contract with the for the next 2.
Maybe this has triggered this new promo.
Stil, im very happy with them, have ported both my wife and myself now.

Return it and order the cheaper one. 
(Or write to them, they might want to retro-apply the discount, rather than administrating your return + reorder + #co2)
There is no right of return in Switzerland. So it may be that this does not work.

Afaik Digitec/Galaxus have 30 day return policy, and Phil might have ordered from Amazon too, who knows.

Unfortunately, I now also missed the Black Friday offer. It was digitec, the product is now sold out

Excellent 
Thank you so much. Now I just need to figure out if I can get an extra sim for Chf 5 as I will loose that add-on when I cancel Quickline.
Fuelled by a glass of wine (or two), I called Quickline yesterday and tried to negotiate in German. Poor people. It was painful from both sides 
They kindly offered an EU solution for Chf 35 for 24 month 40G EU roaming including calls. I will call them back and find a French or English speaker in sales but I do love the effort of the Swiss German technical guy I spoke to yesterday.
Thanks to @impromptu4930 I found an even better offer with GGA. They allow an extra SIM card for Chf 5/month but charge Chf 40 to issue the card.
@hanem suggested another brilliant alternative but I have yet to get Sunrise to offer me the same deal. I am also a bit nervous about the viber component as my mother can be sure to forget how to use WhatsApp or anything but old style phones whenever I am abroad sticking me with the CH-abroad charge which I am not sure I could incorporate in a Viber solution.

Thank you so much. This is brilliant.
This is interesting. I might go from Quickline to this.
What’s the consensus on the quality of the networks Swisscom v Sunrise v Quickline?

Quickline worked better both locally and globally than my earlier similar contract directly with Sunrise. I live in Geneva and travel extensively to US, MX, SE, DK, NO, AT, DK, FR, IT, TR, CY and TRNC (which is often scoped out from TR). My supposedly unlimited contract directly with Sunrise had me endlessly blocked based on “reasonable usage”. Quickline never blocked me!! and the sim worked even on the CEVA to Coppet, in Lancy and at IKEA in Geneva where strangely enough my sim directly from Sunrise always conked out.

Go-Mo does all unlimited in CH for 9.95 CHF/month. Salt network.
Also my partner has been with them on this plan for a couple of years and now they added to her subscription 5 GB/month in EU. She didn’t request anything.

The beuty of the Viber solution is, that even though you call via IP, it will call your moms landline or mobile and display your usual number.
So for her, it should be interchangable as if she was called from a mobile phone

That part I understand.
My concern is when she calls me in a confused state from her regular landline or because she has 1) blocked her handy, 2) forgotten what WhatsApp or FaceTime is, 3) gets lost and asks strangers to call my number to help her, 4) inadvertently turns off WiFi and used up her monthly data, 5) discharged her handy and lost the cable while hospitalised, 6) misplaces her phone or drops it in water etc etc
Introducing her to Viber for outgoing calls when she is already confused between regular calls, WhatsApp and FaceTime, blanks on different modes of messages between texts, emails, WhatsApp messages.
Trust me I repeatedly set up her phone in a dumbed down mode with large and few icons, write colour coded manuals with photos and step-by-step instructions, yet she manages to unlock the settings to erase apps etc.
These episodes of confusion are sure to happen the moment i leave Switzerland so I have to pay for her to call Switzerland and me to receive the call abroad. I am stuck then trying to resolve her problems from abroad calling hospitals, doctors and state entities- all which only use landlines and leave me on hold for hours plus refuse to call back a foreign number.
I don’t see how I could force code Viber on her handy for outgoing calls under such circumstances?
Most of the time she is ok but her cancer treatments often leave her with brain fog and she refuses to go to assisted living or opening the door when I get a neighbour to help. She rather takes her unlocked phone to an outlet of her service provider at the shopping center (forgets who is her service provider so has numerous strangers from different providers access her handy which has her bankid and bank access open). Often they manage to sell her a new contract or a new telephone as the old one is not working…
My life gets shortened just thinking about the chaos of the last few years.

To me, that chaos would not be worth the price of a few tens of franks each month to pay for the plans that will let her call you from her regular phone without using a third party app and without paying extra fees.
I understand it’s just a small part of what is inducing stress in your life from her situation right now but every tiny bit helps. Sending thoughts. Take heart and take care.

Agreed. Thanks for letting me vent. Just writing this down cleared my head.
It is not possible to find a cheap way out of the forwarded international calls unless I pay for a decent package both sides (my mother depends on me financially so I have to solve the issue both sides).
Quickline is calling me back tomorrow hopefully with confirmation of Chf 34.50 for 24 months on the unlimited package I have had for the last two years.
The peace of mind the unlimited package has provided me, without frequent petty “reasonable usage” slow-downs/blockages when abroad, can not be measured in Chf.

idk where your mom lives but Sunrise called with me an offer that was 29CHF/month and it was all unlimited in CH, neighbouring countries + Portugal Spain and Greece. And this included calls both ways
I only skimmed through the previous posts so maybe this doesn’t exactly solve your problem
