Carriers & coverage
Which networks you ride in Switzerland.
In Switzerland your eSIM connects on Swisscom, Sunrise and Salt. These are the same physical networks a local would use — not a roaming overlay. Your phone hands off to whichever has the strongest signal where you stand, so you don't choose a carrier and you don't get stuck on a weak one.
Expected performance is 150 – 280 Mbps urban · 28 ms RTT in covered urban areas — the same band the local carrier serves its own subscribers. That is comfortable headroom for video calls, large uploads, and tethering a laptop, not a throttled tourist tier.
The reason this beats roaming is simple math. Default home-carrier roaming in Switzerland runs about $15 – 28/GB, billed after your trip with no ceiling. A travel.to plan is a single charge for the data you choose, decided before you travel. Over a normal trip that is an order-of-magnitude difference, and there is no bill waiting when you get home.
Coverage detail: Three carriers per region · auto-failover below signal threshold. Failover is automatic — nothing to toggle by hand.

About Switzerland
Questions people ask.
Yes. travel.to runs in Switzerland on Swisscom, Sunrise, and Salt — 3 partner networks in total. Your phone connects to whichever is strongest where you are, the same physical towers a local SIM would use, so coverage in Switzerland is carrier-grade rather than best-effort roaming.
Switzerland is one of our 5G destinations: urban speeds peak around 280 Mbps (150 – 280 Mbps urban · 28 ms RTT). On a 5G-capable phone you get the same fast band the local carrier serves its own customers — fine for video calls, large uploads, and tethering a laptop.
A lot. Default home-carrier roaming in Switzerland runs about $15 – 28 per GB — a single gigabyte can cost more than an entire travel.to plan, which starts at $168. You pay once, up front, for the data you choose, and there is no bill waiting when you get home.
The Switzerland lineup runs across 30 days, each a fixed data bucket sized to the trip length. Most travelers take the middle option — it is flagged as our pick on the plan grid above.
For a typical Switzerland trip — maps, messaging, calls, some streaming — a mid-size plan is plenty. Heavy streaming or laptop tethering uses more; if you run low you can top up the same eSIM without a new install.

No need. The SIM kiosks in Switzerland keep limited hours (Zurich ZRH · 06:00 – 22:00 · Geneva GVA daytime) and you would queue at them with the rest of your flight, passport in hand. Install the travel.to eSIM before you board and you walk straight past them, already online.
