Switzerland eSIM prices
Data plans start from $2.99 for 1 GB, valid 7 days; unlimited plans start from $13.99 for 3 days. Everything is prepaid, data-only and bought inside the app — no contract, no deposit, and no counter to register a passport at.
Data plans
Match the bundle to the length of the trip. Validity only begins the first time the eSIM connects to a Swiss network — not on the day you hand over payment.
| Data | Validity | Price | Price per GB |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 GB | 7 days | $2.99 | $2.99/GB |
| 3 GB | 30 days | $5.99 | $2.00/GB |
| 5 GB | 30 days | $8.99 | $1.80/GB |
| 10 GB | 30 days | $15.99 | $1.60/GB |
| 20 GB | 30 days | $27.99 | $1.40/GB |
| 50 GB | 30 days | $55.99 | $1.12/GB Best value |
Unlimited plans
Unlimited plans carry no overall cap. Once a single day passes 3 GB at full speed the connection slows for what is left of it and resets the next morning — the same fair-use pattern Swiss carriers themselves use on their own unlimited tariffs.
| Validity | Price |
|---|---|
| 3 days | $13.99 |
| 5 days | $22.99 |
| 7 days | $31.99 |
| 10 days | $47.99 |
| 15 days | $70.99 |
| 30 days | $129.99 |
Prices are shown in USD; the app can also charge in EUR, USD, GBP and TRY. Swiss francs are not a charging currency, so a CHF card simply converts at its own rate — the final amount is on screen before you pay.

This page covers Switzerland. The same app sells plans for more than 200 other destinations, which helps when Switzerland is one stop on a longer route — or when a day trip crosses into Italy, France, Germany or Austria, none of which this plan includes.
What every plan includes
5G and LTE on Swiss networks — in the cities, along the rail lines and motorways, and through the alpine tunnels.
Hotspot and tethering, included rather than sold as an add-on.
Top-ups that land on the eSIM already in the phone — no second install.
Your own SIM keeps its place in the phone for your number, calls and SMS codes — the plan hands you no Swiss number of its own.
Pricing questions
How much does an eSIM for Switzerland cost?
The smallest plan runs $2.99 for 1 GB, valid 7 days. A week of train timetables, messages and the odd photo upload, topped up by hotel or chalet Wi-Fi at night, tends to land near $8.99. Unlimited plans start at $13.99.
Is an eSIM cheaper than roaming in Switzerland?
For most travelers, yes — and the reason is structural. Switzerland is not in the EU, so the roam-like-at-home rule does not apply here: some European operators include it in their bundles voluntarily, but many bill it as a separate zone, and carriers outside Europe treat it as ordinary international roaming. Look up what your own tariff says about Switzerland before you travel and put it next to a plan here: a larger bundle is $15.99 for 30 days, paid once.
Are there hidden fees?
No. The number on the screen is the entire number — no activation fee, no deposit, no monthly charge, no renewal that sneaks up on you. The app itself costs nothing, and plans just quietly expire.
Which plan should I choose?
A city break with hotel Wi-Fi at night is mostly maps, messages and photos going out, and does not need much. Take a larger bundle if you work from the phone, share a hotspot on the train, or spend the days navigating between valleys with the camera busy. Take an unlimited plan if you would rather not think about it.
