Swisscom customers have paid CHF 22.80 more per year since 1 April

On 1 April 2026, Swisscom raised all blue Mobile plans by CHF 1.90 per month. Across around 1.5 million mobile customers, the increase adds up to CHF 22.80 extra per year and customer. The story was picked up by Blick.ch, based on data from handyabo.com.

What the price increase means in concrete terms

The adjustment affects the list prices of all three blue Mobile lines:

Current promo prices stand at CHF 69.90 for all three plans. Once the promotion ends, customers pay the new, higher list price.

Extraordinary right of termination: 30 days guaranteed by law

With a unilateral change to the contract, customers have the statutory right to terminate the plan within 30 days of the announcement, without a penalty fee. Anyone who received the notice in early March could respond until early April. Since blue Mobile plans are in principle cancellable monthly, customers can also switch later without a penalty.

Three cheaper alternatives on the identical Swisscom network

Anyone who wants the same Swisscom network with identical quality and coverage, but wants to pay significantly less, can switch to one of Swisscom's three sub-brands:

All sub-brands use the identical Swisscom infrastructure. Network quality, 5G availability and coverage stay the same.

Part of a larger telco wave in 2026

The Swisscom increase was only the beginning. Four waves with six providers in five months are taking shape:

For consumers this means several exit windows: each of these adjustments opens the extraordinary right of termination for affected customers. Anyone who is reaching the end of their contract term in the coming months anyway should actively compare.

More saving tips for Swisscom switchers

• Number porting: costs nothing, takes 1 to 3 business days. Requested at the new provider.
• Use eSIM instead of a SIM card: saves activation fees. Swisscom CHF 0, Wingo CHF 0, Migros Mobile CHF 0.
• Check the family bundle: Digital Republic Friends Flat from CHF 11.70 per person (3+ people) on the Sunrise network, or Wingo for a multi-person household on the Swisscom network.
• Do not give up 5G: all three Swisscom sub-brands mentioned include 5G.
