Switzerland data pricing
One rate: $2.40/GB, metered per MB against a prepaid USD balance. No daily passes, no expiring bundles, no throttling tiers - unused credit stays on your eSIM forever and works in the next country you visit.
| Top-up | Data in Switzerland | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|
| $5.00 | ≈ 2.1 GB | $2.40/GB |
| $10.00 | ≈ 4.2 GB | $2.40/GB |
| $20.00 | ≈ 8.3 GB | $2.40/GB |
| $50.00 | ≈ 20.8 GB | $2.40/GB |
A one-time $5 setup fee applies to a brand-new eSIM; top-ups to an existing eSIM carry no fee. Rates are pay-as-you-go, so light days cost cents and heavy days just draw down the balance faster.
Networks and speeds in Switzerland
Anon eSIM connects through roaming agreements with Swisscom, with 4G / 5G typically available to roamers. Your phone picks the strongest partner signal automatically and re-selects as you move - there is nothing to configure.
Swisscom covers even high alpine rail routes. Note Switzerland is not in the EU, which is why the per-GB rate is higher than its neighbors.
The APN is provisioned automatically with the eSIM profile. You do not need to enter APN settings manually on iOS or Android - the only switch you must flip is Data Roaming: ON for the Anon eSIM line, because the service is technically a roaming profile everywhere it operates.

In-country context: Switzerland
Local prepaid SIM registration: mandatory. Switzerland requires passport registration for prepaid SIMs and enforces it strictly. Anonymous roaming eSIMs are the cleanest way in. This is exactly the paper trail Anon eSIM avoids - your identity never touches the local carrier, because you attach as a roamer on a foreign anonymous profile.
On arrival: ZRH and GVA have Swisscom stands with immediate 5G, but ID checks are strict. Pre-installed eSIM avoids the queue.
Typical speeds: 60-200 Mbps on 4G; up to 600 Mbps on 5G including alpine rail corridors. Prices from the live rates data: $2.40/GB, metered per MB against a prepaid USD balance.
Registration status
Passport required for local SIMs
Anon eSIM sidesteps this entirely - the eSIM is issued from an ID-free jurisdiction and you use it as a visitor's roaming SIM in Switzerland. No local paperwork.

Switzerland eSIM FAQ
Does Anon eSIM work in Switzerland?+
Yes. In Switzerland the eSIM attaches to Swisscom (4G / 5G) through our roaming agreements, so you get the same towers a local subscriber does. Swisscom covers even high alpine rail routes. Note Switzerland is not in the EU, which is why the per-GB rate is higher than its neighbors.
What does a Switzerland eSIM cost?+
$2.40 per GB, billed per MB against a prepaid USD balance that never expires. There are no daily fees and no expiring bundles - $5 of credit buys about 2.1 GB, $20 buys about 8.3 GB. A one-time $5 setup fee applies to a brand-new eSIM only.
Do I need an account or ID to get a Switzerland eSIM?+
No. There is no KYC, no email, and no account. Pay $5 minimum by card (including Apple Pay / Google Pay) or crypto (BTC, Lightning, USDT), scan the QR, and you're online. Your only credential is a random recovery token stored on your device.
Can I use hotspot / tethering in Switzerland?+
Yes - hotspot is included at full speed on every Anon eSIM, with no extra fee and no separate tethering cap. Laptops, tablets, and consoles all work.
Does the same eSIM work outside Switzerland?+
Yes. One eSIM and one USD balance cover 200+ countries. Cross a border and the eSIM re-attaches to a local partner network automatically - no new QR code, no new plan. Per-GB pricing simply switches to the destination country's rate.
