Poster: A snowHead
|
I am on a cheap contract and don't have swiss coverage (or at least the fees are big) what is the best sim for visiting , I am am off in a week , I probably don't need much data as we will have wifi in the place we are renting.
Last year I planned on using my own card and paying the charges but it appeared to block them.

@T Bar, Are you absolutely sure you can’t use your current phone/package in Switzerland? It’s a ‘Roam Free’ destination, so there shouldn’t be any additional charges. I suggest you check again. Who are you with?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

A sim on the '3' UK network would work, Switzerland is one of the many countries where you can use your phone as if you were in the UK. If you get a pay as you go I think you have to activate in the UK first tho

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

@foxtrotzulu,
I think roam free is a proprietary product that adds a few destinations to the EU/EEA agreement of which Switzerland is not a part. I am with id Mobile which is fine in the EU but you have to pay outside
@alasdair.graham@hotmail.c,
Thanks I've looked at 3 now, before I want clear about their PAYG products but it looks good.

You'll need to Register first of course.

Lebara CH works well for me and seems to be cheap for data. I bought the SIM from a mobile phone shop on the upper concourse at Basel station.

@T Bar, I use three and the rate in Switzerland is the ame as in the UK. I have had no problems with it but I've only used it at Geneva airport and Lausane.
