Switzerland travel data eSIM
What is a Switzerland eSIM?
A Switzerland eSIM gives travelers a quick way to stay online while exploring the Alpine country, from Zurich's financial district to the scenic mountain passes. Because Switzerland sits outside the EU roaming zone, a local data‑only plan avoids roaming fees and lets you use maps, transit apps, and translation tools without interruption during your stay.
When you activate the eSIM in Switzerland it connects to the Sunrise 5G and Salt 5G networks. Your data allowance runs from the moment you first access the internet, and you can choose from 1 GB to 20 GB options that suit short city trips or longer Alpine adventures.

Local networks
Which networks you connect to in Switzerland
The eSIM links to Sunrise 5G and Salt 5G, two major Swiss operators. Their network footprints cover urban centers, valleys, and mountain routes, but actual coverage depends on the specific operator you are connected to at any given location. This approach lets you stay connected wherever the chosen network reaches.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator(s) does the Switzerland eSIM use and what does that mean for a traveller?
The eSIM works with Sunrise 5G and Salt 5G. This gives you access to the same mobile networks that local residents use, so you can browse, map routes, and use apps just as they do.
Does the eSIM also work in a neighbouring country of Switzerland?
No, it is a single‑country plan valid only within Switzerland. Separate regional plans are available for travelers who need coverage in neighboring nations such as Austria or Italy.
Which plan size suits a trip to Zurich and Lucerne?
As a rough guide, a 3 GB or 5 GB 30‑day plan often covers two major cities like Zurich and Lucerne, allowing for navigation, transit apps, and occasional streaming during a week‑long stay.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
