Families pay the most for mobile. Four people on Swisscom: 4 x CHF 69.90 = CHF 279.60 per month. That is more than CHF 3,300 per year for a service that costs a fraction with other providers.
With the right plans, a family of four pays under CHF 60 per month, with unlimited data and 5G. The key: group plans like Digital Republic Friends, which deliver huge discounts from 3 people upwards.
Digital Republic Friends Flat Swiss, unlimited with 5G on the Sunrise network. For families that want the lowest price and only call within Switzerland.
Wingo Swiss Start, unlimited on the Swisscom network. For families that want to stay on the Swisscom network without paying Swisscom prices.
Migros Mobile, data usage stays under control. Ideal for parents who want to keep an eye on their kids' mobile use.
Digital Republic Friends Flat, unlimited with 5G plus 12 GB of EU roaming per person. Perfect for families that travel regularly to EU countries.
Digital Republic Friends plans kick in at 3 people and offer huge discounts. Perfect for families: each member gets their own plan at the group price.
If everyone in the family is on the same provider, admin gets easier. One bill, one customer account, one point of contact.
Kids rarely need unlimited data. A plan with 3 to 5 GB is plenty for WhatsApp, YouTube and school apps, and saves money.
Providers like Migros Mobile and Swisscom offer dedicated family discounts. Always check whether extra discounts apply for multiple plans in the same household.
