Wait a minute. I think this bashing is uncalled for. Use wifi? I like to be online when I travel, and looking for a working wifi every time you need to check something is really inconvenient. I have the 29 CHF Plus Swiss Abo at Salt, but 200 MB is rarely enough, so I can understand someone who travels on monthly basis, buying this abo. Salt abos are often sold at a reduced price, so this Plus Europe at 69 CHF would not be a bad thing for a frequent traveler.

In this case it may be smarter to get a German/French/whatever EU country you want prepay sim-card because of the inter EU roaming thing. Hell in Germany you do not even have to show an ID to get a sim-card you can just walk up and buy one like a piece of gum. I have found that Germany has very attractive terms on the low end but very lacking at the high end (real unlimited data seems to be not a thing there and their networks are generally worse than the Swiss ones).

My current is not very mustachian (but better than my previous 70chf per month salt one). I have the basic 20CHF per month Sunrise Contract which is generally worse than the prepay things available. However you can switch the contract on a daily base so I can get unlimited LTE for about 2CHF per day when I need it. I generally like sunrise for their very flexible plans and 2Mont cancellation period.

What you describe is only available since recently and has its caveats. I have been on holidays in the EU and I used my polish subscription to surf online. I bought a 3GB package for a laughable 6 CHF and surfed all the way. After some time I got a data limiter warning that I racked up the costs over 70 CHF and my data connection has been blocked as a safety measure. I called the hotline and they said that an add-on package does not work abroad.

It’s nice and cool to be frugal, but on the things, that you don’t care about. To me it’s important to keep things simple. I don’t like to call hotlines, carry around two phones, or switch sim cards. At some point, I think it is much more important to focus on maximizing your income than squeezing out every penny. E.g. I could go shopping to Lidl, but I prefer to go to a Coop that is right around my home. We have a limited time and energy and we should not fall into a trap of getting obsessed about every penny. If something saves my time and nerves, I will gladly pay extra for it.

Why did I expect the EU to get something right for once. I expect almost nothing and still get disappointed.

In this case the Sunrise one might make sense since you could switch to the roaming subscription for the required days and then back to the domestic one.

I don’t have a photo, but I’m sure that all of you living in Zurich has already seen Ads on some Trams from Hugo Peters. I find it extremely sad/comical that they show the “Mobel des Monats” which can be a simple chair for 900chf or some other astronimical price like that.  
This month is a lamp for 930chf  
[http://www.hugo-peters.ch/topmoebel/moebel-des-monats/](http://www.hugo-peters.ch/topmoebel/moebel-des-monats/)

Btw, I’m not against it, but showing it as an Ad on a Tram seems a bit odd.
