I see that we don’t have a 2023 edition of this thread. Time to open it, then.
Digitec Connect is now called Galaxus Mobile and the conditions have changed, I believe, for the better. In a nutshell: 5G is now included as standard, data is unlimited as standard, and the “friends & family” option that previously added more data to the subscription now reduces the monthly price.
Since their „Basic“ plan has only 3GB of monthly data - the same as their previous plan - I wouldn’t call that „as standard“.
If I remember correctly, their previous plan was 25 CHF for 3 GB of data, including 1GB of roaming data - but I could get it for 100 CHF/year on Black Friday.
Galaxus Mobile (“CH Unlimited”) seems better than Wingo in most cases, especially for those who are not currently Wingo clients (activation fees):
Galaxus vs Wingo
no activation fees vs 49 CHF
19 CHF vs 25CHF / month
1 GB in EU/USA vs 2GB in EU
cancellation within 30 days vs 60 days
10GB in the EU for 39CHF valid for 12 months vs 5CHF/1GB (valid one month?)
Wingo seems only better if you need more than 1GB in the EU and somewhat less than 2GB. If you need a lot, you’re better off getting the big data pack with Galaxus.
Well the network coverage of Swisscom is vastly superior to Sunrise and Salt, especially outside of the main cities. Here in AG/SO I wouldn‘t even take Sunrise/Salt if it would be for free.
The 10GB data roaming package is only valid for 1m unfortunately - otherwise it would have been a great deal.
I like the changes in general for my usage. One main advantage is the friends&family discount which helps getting the price down to CHF 15 (10 for the basic offer). My “family” still has some slots - feel free to send me a PN if you would like to join.
Data shared in friends & family according their FAQ:
What information is shared within a Family?
Similarly to a WhatsApp group, the only thing that’s shared in a Family are the first names and phone numbers of the Family members. As well as the data consumed by each member.
Personal call logs are neither visible to other Family members nor to the account holder.
If my real-world experience was an indication, Salt may have the best 4G/5G coverage for mobile internet in Switzerland (actually, slightly beyond its borders, too). I certainly wouldn’t generalise that though.
I think, one can debate the whole day whose network is “superior”. But in the end, you have to choose whatever you need and what you likes best.
Since we are living in a small country and not in GER or USA, we have one of the best coverages worldwide. Compare the services from Swisscom, Sunrise, Salt with the providers abroad.
Agreed. All three networks are well-established. If you use your mobile phone as your main Internet connection, like I do, then it is worth testing out which network better covers your home. Other than that, I wouldn’t personally consider the network a major criteria for choosing a plan in Switzerland.
I have sunrise on work phone and Swisscom (through coop mobile) on private. I think the comparison is probably specific to each region but in Swiss Romand, I have had the same experience as @Cortana…big differences on coverage in head to head comparison (having both phones on me).
Side comment: co-op mobile is 14.95 chf for 2 years with unlimited calls and sms in CH with data never expiring. So not technically unlimited but if like me you use wifi most of the time, the data just builds over time…I’m at 45 GB in my account so may as well be u limited. No roaming at all though - use my work phones hotspot
