FAQ

Do Europe regional plans include Switzerland?

Roughly half exclude or cap it — Swiss roaming costs are high. Always check the coverage list before buying.

Are Swiss eSIMs expensive?

About 10–20% above EU-country prices, but far below international roaming rates — still the best option.

Is there signal on hiking trails?

Popular trails and cable-car stations are covered; remote routes may have none — share your itinerary with someone.
