Prepaid basic tariff
With the prepaid SIM card and the prepaid basic tariff, you can make calls at a rate per minute and surf the mobile Swisscom network without fixed costs.
- Calling: 0.29 per min.
Max. 3 minutes per call pay for calls up to two hours. The first 120 minutes on all mobile and landline calls within Switzerland and FL cost a maximum of 87 centimes per call (3 minutes x 0.29 centimes/min). Each additional hour costs 60 centimes. Value-added services and special numbers are excluded.
- SMS: 0.15 per SMS
Costable SMS services are excluded. - Surfing: 2.– per day
The charging of the daily flat rate only takes effect if more than 10 KB are transferred in one day. If 10 GB are reached within 30 days, the connection speed will be reduced to 128 kbit/s. Important: Data transfers can take place in the background, e.g. synchronisations or automatic updates. These can be deactivated on the mobile phone.
- One-time costs (starting credit): 20.–
When you activate a new prepaid, you pay a one-time fee of 20.–, which serves as a starting credit. This means your prepaid subscription is ready to use straight away. You can immediately make calls and surf.
