Mustachian phone plan

From what I read and also heard from friends, quality of Salt network is inferior. So unfortunately it’s not an option for me.

I checked Wingo, and the european plan (Wingo Europe) is not cheaper than the Swisscom original. You pay 78.- per month, and you still don’t have calls from CH to EU included. If you want to have it included, you pay another 20.- on top (same as with Swisscom original).

Actually, the Wingo Europe is even worse than the Swisscom inOne Mobile GO. Only 20GB roaming in EU with Wingo compared to 40GB with Swisscom.

I guess I have to swallow the high costs…

Maybe a SIP phone number would be cheaper? You could use a client on your phone and use it over mobile data. (I can’t really recommend a provider though, it was just an idea.)

Thanks for the idea. I might have a look at it. Last time I checked the quality using SIP was not that good, but it’s been years already.

I recently looked for a new SIP provider for my home VoIP phone and settled on https://peoplephone.ch. Their prices are among the lowest I’ve found, and their console UI is modern compared with others I’ve seen. So far so good.

I just switched to coop mobile with their deal at the end of the year and while it doesn’t meet your needs @FIREstarter , I wanted to just confirm that I’ve seen zero difference from before when I was a direct Swisscom client, so they don’t seem to be doing this on their side….not yet anyway. Super happy to pass to 15chf/month from 40 chf :+1:t2:

Quick update:
mbudget mobile costs now 14.50/m (for two years only etcetc…) with 4gb/m and you can add 10chf/16chf for a year of data roaming of 0.5/1gb. (in “Europe”)

I was talking about the general network, I simply don’t have any connection. Once I have network, there is no issue with the call quality. So, I can still confirm that after it’s been in use for 3 months that the problem remains. I have the latest Google Pixel Pro, so I hope that’s not the issue but cannot rule it out either?!

I guess you get what you pay for (10 CHF for an all-in flat sounded to good to be true), but I will switch to Yallo by the end of this month.

Most - or all - roaming data packages are now valid for a year (I vaguely remember it being some agreement between carriers and the Preisüberwacher or something).

Worth to keep in mind when getting a new subscription.

Choosing a less subscription without roaming data allowance and then adding an optional roaming data package for a year may often cost less than subscribing to a more expensive subscription that includes roaming data you’ll rarely need. And it’s still more convenient than using a separate travel SIM.

I didn’t find any information about it. Maybe I didn’t check well enough. I checked lebara and salt.
They might be obfuscating it by adding recurring payments plan.

Swiss flat for 11 CHF per month.
Does any of you can provide a feedback about talk talk ? Is ebill available ?
Thanks !

I’m happy with them. There isn’t eBill, bit they have LSV.

I know 2 people very happy as well, my contract with them will start in August. PM me if you want a referral code.

Apart from not so nice beginning described above (Mustachian phone plan - #485 by baldur), I’m so far happy with them - they do have eBill (this is how I pay for it).

You’re right. I thought they didn’t offer it.

Migros is offering the mini plan for 9.90.
2Gb/month are imho enough.

Offer limited to 2 years.

Another big no go is the capped speed.

It’s a phone. Let’s use it more like a phone and less like a streaming app or some other addiction-app.
(nothing against you btw)

It’s a good offer. I’m not sure if you can keep it after 2 years or need to go fishing elsewhere though.

At 2GB data per month, I wouldn’t worry about the (very reasonably) capped speed. With such low an allowance, the cap on throughput rather becomes a (protective) feature. :wink:

5 mb for upload is not enough for occasional facetime for example.
