Can you find another ch+europe+usa unlimited mobile plan for CHF 40 ?
If not, this is a deal, no ?
Check Yallo Black Plus this Black Friday, has been available for CHF 29.90 last BF.
Maybe this year there is another provider with an interesting deal?
Normally available on Black Friday for CHF ~25. With no minimum contract period.
(But perhaps the offer is no longer CHF 25 this year due to inflation)
Thanks!
sunrise qoqa offer would be a deal if you need the extra data sim, then.

I use Quickline 10chf a month includes 3GB data and 500mb roaming data abroad. Suits me perfectly fine for a low cost option. I dont need free minutes as most calls through wifi
If you can get your employer to pay for your phone plan, can’t you get them to also pay for your home internet?
I wasn’t expecting a “reddit-like” reaction on this forum.

While I’m happy with my Nov 2021 TalkTalk subscription for unlimited internet in CH and 1GB roaming per month in the neighbouring countries for only 11.-/month, a recent trip to India has shown me where a true(r) price of such technology might be. I paid only CHF 3.20 (INR 299) for a whole month with 1.5 GB data per day and unlimited local calls. Airtel India must still be making a profit on it. Our telecom providers must be making a lot of profit on current pricings.

Vote with you feet and go with another provider.
I normally only had very low usage. Typically <5GB per month. But in the last months, exploring AI, I’ve been downloading a lot. Probably hundreds of gigabytes each month (large language models). No problem with UPC Cablecom so far.
This is crazy… I regularly get >80 GB, sometimes >100 GB per month and Galaxus never complained (yet).
It makes sense though. I remember seeing statistics that the top minority of users are responsible for a huge amount of the bandwidth costs, so it makes financial sense to limit them or get rid of them.
I think you cannot compare internet costs between India and Switzerland.
The population density in India in urban areas is quite high. So the higher asset utilisation of communication infrastructure reduces the capital costs per GB of usage to a very low number. And also the variable costs would be lower as wages are lower in India vs CH.
In Switzerland it wouldn’t be possible.
Large user base brings advantages of scale in India , China etc.

yeah it makes financially sense, but its still (at least morally) wrong. If you advertise something as ‘unlimited’ then make it unlimited or at least something ridiculously high like 5 TB.
It would be as if Spotify lets you pay for music, but it only keeps those that listen to 5 min per day and punishes the others, because it makes financially sense for them.

I stumbled upon this offer: Trophy | Coop Mobile (DE / FR / IT only)
- Swisscom network
- Unlimited CH calls / texts
- 8 GB data over 4G (accumulative) - 4 GB after 2 years
- No activation costs
- 100 CHF Coop gift card
- 14.95 CHF per month - double after 2 years
- 2 year contract
- → the “trophy” and “promo-code thing” is misleading as one can sign up right a way e.g. in the Interdiscount shop
The 100 CHF Coop gift card reduces the costs for the first 24 month down to 10.75 CHF per month.
IMO, a pretty good deal for users with low data usage and where Swisscom network is a must…
Hey everyone - planning to move to Wingo because cost-wise would be similar to what I currently have with Sunrise and it is advertised to be on the Swisscom network.
Just a small question to anyone who has been with Wingo, do you guys validate that the coverage and network availability is the same as someone that would be under “real” Swisscom?
Same discussion as every year, James.
I can recommend getting a pre-paid card by various telecom providers to check the coverage for the areas where you are most. For some, Wingo is best, for other Sunrise and for others it’s Salt.
In the end, it is a very individual decision - I had with Salt 1.2gbit/s in areas whery my Wingo-colleague had 350mbit/s. And in other areas, he had better coverage than me.
Depends also, where your focus is:
- coverage in buildings, underground parkings, tunnels
- coverage in the city/urban area
- coverage in the mountains

Thanks for the update - as I mentioned, was really interested on personal experience with Wingo
You can also get GPS tower location maps to see which towers you will be using and what speeds they support.

I’ve switched from QoQa x Sunrise Mobile to Wingo few years ago and I didn’t have any issue. The network is quite similar in my experience and for both network I’ve never lost a signal so you can, in my view, change without fear.
The reason to change was to pay less, because I didn’t need unlimited data roaming at the end as I’m not traveling a lot out of Switzerland. Now I’m considering to take the offer at 34.95 frs at Wingo, instead of my current 24.95 for unlimited swiss and 2 Go in Europe.
