Mobile Plans with No Contract: Flexible, Affordable Deals in Switzerland

A mobile plan with no minimum contract term is a mobile contract you can cancel at any time, without being bound to a fixed term. You pay for your usage month by month and stay completely free to change provider or plan whenever you like, with no penalty fees.

A plan with no minimum term is billed at the end of the month (postpaid), usually includes unlimited services and suits regular users. A prepaid card is topped up in advance and you pay only for what you actually use. Today, the large majority of people in Switzerland prefer the convenience of a plan over prepaid.

Even without a fixed term, most Swiss providers apply a notice period of 60 days. So your cancellation takes effect roughly two months after it is received. For example, if you cancel on 15 March, your contract ends on 15 May. That is still far more flexible than a 12 or 24-month contract, where you have to pay for the whole term.

A flexible plan gives you maximum freedom: you can switch provider as soon as a new promotion appears, or simply try a different network, with no exit fees at all. It is ideal if your circumstances change or you simply dislike long commitments.

Yes, and that is one of the biggest advantages in Switzerland. When you sign up for your new plan, simply request number portability (keeping your number). Your new provider then takes care of cancelling with the old operator and transferring your number, completely free of charge.

Prices start at around CHF 10 per month for plans with limited data. Unlimited plans with roaming cost roughly CHF 20 to 50 depending on the provider. You can see the current prices in the overview above.

Yes, absolutely. Switzerland has only three mobile networks: Swisscom, Sunrise and Salt. Budget brands such as Wingo, Yallo or GoMo are subsidiaries of these operators and use exactly the same infrastructure. You get the same first-class network quality, just at a much lower price.
