Roaming is simply the act of using your device abroad; that is, in a foreign mobile provider’s network. The mobile network operator charges Swisscom for your Internet usage, calls made and messages sent on the third-party network.
Before embarking on your trip, set roaming limits for surfing, calls and SMS. You can do this in Swisscom Cockpit under ‘Costs’. Check that you have sufficient allowance left for your trip. If you have already used up your allowance or your subscription does not include an allowance, we recommend purchasing a data package.
The simplest way is to switch to a mobile subscription that includes unlimited surfing, calls and SMS/MMS while travelling outside of Switzerland. If your subscription does not include an allowance or you have already used it up, we recommend purchasing a package for use abroad. This is valid for 12 months, giving you time to use the credit you have purchased.
If you are close to the Swiss border, devices may automatically connect to a foreign mobile phone network. This can also happen some distance from the border; for example, in the Lake Geneva region or mountain regions (Jura, Alpstein, Grisons or Valais Alps). The reason for this is that the signals from EU mobile networks can be stronger in these regions than signals from within Switzerland. To avoid roaming costs, we recommend the Enterprise Mobile Europe or Europe advanced subscriptions. Alternatively, you can turn off automatic network selection on your device.
You will find more general information about roaming on our Help page for Swisscom Residential Customers: Roaming: Using mobile phones abroad.
