Hi guys
For me the cheapest option with the best coverage is using the Wingo Swiss promotion for 24.- per month and using the yallo swype international esim option for 4.50.- per day and unlimited everything while abroad.

I use yallo for 19.-/month all included in Switzerland, sunrise network (they can limit you if more than 45Gb of data used or so per month, but never happend to me, and at the first day of everymonth it it brought back to normal).
Only thing is: no roaming and no free calls on 0848 or 0842 numbers.
Callcenter is certainly not in CH and not free (as I remember), but managed to settle a problem easy via Facebook chat with them
Current offer at Digitec Connect: New customers who sign up until 11-Jul-2021 will pay 15.- per month instead of 25.-, for two years.
Just got my Mum to sign up.

I just saw that if you sign up via the comparison platform alao.ch sometimes you don’t have to pay the SIM activation fee, and get other goodies like shorter contract times.

Interesting option, too: https://digitalrepublic.ch/de/product-category/dr-specials/

I’m looking to switch from UPC. They recently switched to the Sunrise network since the merger and I’m having all kind of issues.
Looks like the best deal currently is Wingo 25CHF/month all unlimited in Switzerland, 100min and 1Gb in EU. And with alao.ch the one time fee is dropped.
Any other deal worth checking out?
If you‘re abroad often this might be something. Until midnight for 32.- (Salt Europe)

If you don’t like Sunrise, you might like this:
Coop uses Swisscom. From 15chf. No Europe, 3Gb rolling with 50g free with this offer. It’s basically like unlimited if you don’t use it with your pc or stream TV all the time. It doesn’t use 5G.

Are the problems related to the Sunrise network or something else?
Well since the switch I’m having weird issues where I will lose network connectivity and have a message about losing it because of roaming is not activated. When I look at my data indeed I’m on a roaming network but I’m still in Switzerland. Not sure what is happening
Do you live close to the border?
In Basel it happens that I end up in the French network, even though I’m in Switzerland and Germany would be closer than France. That’s why I need roaming in my mobile plan.

Force your Phone to choose sunrise network.
Yes, of course, that would be a solution. And then re-enable automatic network selection when I’m abroad.
I find it easier to just choose a plan with roaming data.
I live in Neuchâtel close to the lake so no I’m not that close to the border. Also it never happened before they switched from network.
Anyway I’m going to change to wingo because to me it feels Swisscom is a better network and anyway it’s a little better in terms of features for 5 CHF less per month so win win.

Wingo is a stable service, a good network (Swisscom). I have their sale event product, 24.- all flat in CH.
I understand you might be able to save 50-100CHF a year (maybe) by being frugal with data - but does that really matter that much?
Since Covid (practically all last year) I’m hardly using any data (which means I could’ve used a basic data package only), but the assurance that it’s there when needed is worth it for me.

I moved from yallo to wingo and I can confirm that 5-6 CHF more per month worth the money.
For me I was happy with Yallo Swype, also a super flexible subscription with no strings attached.
But it had 1 out of 5 bars of signal in our apartment, also my favorite coop had zero coverage within the store on Sunrise - so no TWINT, no Apple Pay… after I once almost had to return all groceries due to being unable to pay (I’m mobile-only since the Cumulus card works on Apple Pay), I immediately looked for a Swisscom-network alternative.
ApplePay does not require an internet connection (on the mobile device) to make in-store payments.
I can confirm this from first-hand experience as I am “using it regularly” in a store with no cellular reception at the tills - or even in flight mode.

“Network only” is such a bullshit thing… Migros has several shop that are underground with no network available. It’s actually imho some kind of issue Migros tried to solve (and failed), since they put wifi hotspots but you have to login (for free probably) in order to use them. When Marketing try to work with UX…
oh… good to know. Must have been TWINT then 
thanks for the correction!
