Cell Phone Rental for Switzerland

Rent a cell phone for use in Switzerland. With a cell phone rental, you will also need to purchase a Switzerland SIM card. The prepaid International SIM card in conjunction with a rented or purchased GSM phone is the most convenient solution for making cell phone calls, whether you are in the Switzerland over in one of the 115 other countries your rental phone covers.

Regardless of where you will be, you will always retain the same phone number. Outgoing rates, with few exceptions, are approximately 50 cents per minute for domestic and international phone calls as outlined below. Incoming calls, with few exceptions, are the same.

Since these cellular phone cards are prepaid, there is no need for a contract, no minimums and no surprise credit card statements. For many people, purchasing a cellular phone while in Switzerland is a smarter option to renting.

Read this guide so that you can make an informed decision!

Cell Phone Calling Rates in Switzerland :

There are four different calling plans for your Airtel "Fórmula" prepaid SIM card. However, the "fórmula 20" is the only tariff that allows international calling so we strongly recommend that tariff. By default, the Airtel Fórmula SIM is set to the Fórmula 20 tariff.
