Subscription without contract

Which Swiss providers primarily offer mobile phone contracts without a contract?

Providers that offer mobile phone contracts without a contract are usually so-called virtual providers, where subscriptions are taken out exclusively via the Internet. Many of these virtual providers are subsidiaries of the major domestic telephone companies such as Salt, Sunrise or Swisscom.

What are the main advantages of no-contract tariffs?

Flexibility and freedom: As you are not tied to a long-term contract, you can change the package or provider whenever you want. This allows you to benefit from current promotions and the best tariffs. A very interesting price-performance ratio : With the development of competition in Switzerland in recent years, providers offering flat rates without a contract have lowered their prices considerably. It is therefore easy to find packages with prices equivalent to or even lower than those of subscriptions with 12 or 24-month contracts. No cancellation costs: While you are tied to a 12 or 24-month contract, you are not charged any cancellation costs with a no-strings-attached telephone contract. With some contracts, you have to pay the monthly instalments for your subscription for 12 or 24 months, even if you want to cancel it.

What are the biggest disadvantages of mobile phone tariffs without a contract?

No subsidised phones: If you opt for a mobile phone contract without a contract commitment, you cannot benefit from the subscription + phone offers. Fewer benefits and options: To get their customers to sign up to long-term contracts, phone providers often offer additional benefits and options, especially with regard to roaming abroad.

How long is the cancellation period for a non-binding mobile phone subscription?

The notice period for cancelling a mobile phone contract in Switzerland is 60 days. This means that if you have just taken out a subscription without a contract and wish to cancel within a month, a cancellation period of 60 days applies.
