How does an eSIM work?

An eSIM is a digital SIM built into your phone that activates mobile data without a physical card. After purchase, you install the Switzerland eSIM in one tap from your order email. Once you arrive in Switzerland, your phone connects to local networks automatically—no SIM swaps or roaming fees.

How do I install Switzerland eSIM on iPhone?

Open your order email on your iPhone and tap the install button: the eSIM installs in one tap, then follow the prompts. Once installed, select the eSIM as your data line. You’ll need to enable Data Roaming on the eSIM line (not your primary SIM) to connect in Switzerland.

Do I need to turn on Data Roaming for Switzerland eSIM?

Yes, enable Data Roaming on the eSIM line (not your primary SIM). This allows the eSIM to connect to local networks in Switzerland. You won't be charged roaming fees—it connects as a local plan with no extra charges from your home carrier.

Does Switzerland eSIM support hotspot/tethering?

This eSIM doesn't include a phone number for regular calls/SMS. However, you can make calls using WhatsApp, FaceTime, Skype, or other internet-based apps over your data connection.

Your eSIM connects to premium local networks including Sunrise, Salt with 3G/4G/5G coverage, whether you're in Zurich, Geneva, or Zermatt. You get the same service as locals, with automatic switching between carriers for the best signal.

Is Switzerland eSIM better than buying a local SIM?

Yes—no airport queues, passport checks, or language barriers. Install your Switzerland eSIM before you travel, enjoy quick access to Swiss highlights like the Matterhorn or Lake Lucerne, and connect instantly. Local SIMs require finding a store, dealing with paperwork, and physical swapping.
