About eSIM Switzerland

Frequently Asked Questions about Switzerland eSIM

How do I install my Switzerland eSIM?

After purchase, you'll receive a QR code via email instantly. Scan it with your phone's camera, then go to Settings > Cellular > Add eSIM. Follow the prompts - it takes less than 5 minutes. See our installation guide for detailed instructions.

Is my phone compatible with eSIM?

Most modern smartphones support eSIM, including iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3+, Samsung Galaxy S20+, and many others. Check our compatible devices list to verify.

Can I keep my regular phone number?

Yes! Your phone can use both your regular SIM and the eSIM simultaneously (Dual SIM). Keep your home number for calls and texts while using the Switzerland eSIM for affordable mobile data.

How much data do I need for Switzerland?

For typical travel usage (maps, messaging, social media, and occasional video), 1-2GB per day is enough. Light users need about 500MB-1GB per day. Choose a plan above that matches your trip length and usage.

Roaming in Switzerland can cost $10-$15/MB!

Travelers are often shocked by their phone bills after a trip. Without a local data plan, your carrier charges international roaming rates that can reach $10-$15 per megabyte — that's up to $15,000 per gigabyte.

A single hour of scrolling social media uses around 150MB, which could cost you $1,500+ in roaming fees. Loading maps, uploading photos, or making a video call? Your bill can spiral into thousands within a day.

Every year, travelers return home to unexpected bills of $500, $2,000, even $5,000+ for just a few days abroad. Some carriers offer "travel passes" at $10-$15/day, but even those add up fast on longer trips.

With an eSIM Pass data plan for Switzerland, you pay a fraction of the cost — starting at just a few dollars for your entire trip. No bill shock, no surprises. Just affordable, fast data from the moment you land.

What network speeds will I get in Switzerland?

Our Switzerland eSIM connects to leading local operators providing 4G LTE and 5G coverage. Typical speeds are 20-100 Mbps download, enough for HD video streaming, video calls, and all apps.

Can I use my eSIM for hotspot/tethering?

Yes, you can use your eSIM as a hotspot to share data with other devices like laptops or tablets. Great for traveling with family or when you need to work remotely.

What happens if I run out of data?

Simply purchase another eSIM - there are no overage charges. You can also buy your next plan before your current one expires to ensure uninterrupted connectivity.

When should I install my Switzerland eSIM?

We recommend installing your eSIM before you leave home while connected to WiFi. You can install it days in advance - the validity period only starts when you first connect to a network in Switzerland.
