yallo price increase on 1 August 2026: what we know and what you can do now

What we know so far

yallo has announced a price change effective 1 August 2026 on its official support page. Notably, yallo communicates the change very sparingly. The official support page is hard to find from yallo's main site (the URL has to be googled directly) and the detailed list of affected plans was not fully public at the time of our research.

Confirmed by yallo's communication:

• Effective date: 1 August 2026
• Mobile plans are affected (which exactly: the detailed list is communicated to customers with the bill)
• Extraordinary right of termination: 30 days from the announcement

yallo is a 100 percent subsidiary of Sunrise. The price change happens in parallel with the Sunrise price increase on the same date.

In context: four telco waves in 2026 (6 providers)

yallo is part of a bigger movement in the Swiss mobile market. Four providers are adjusting their prices in 2026 over five months:

All four providers use similar wording in their communication: the "discount stays unchanged" or "for life". Mechanically, though, this means the discount amount in francs stays nominally the same but is applied to a higher list price. Effectively, customers pay more.

Here is the full analysis with mechanic examples.

What can you do now?

Option 1: use the extraordinary right of termination

With any unilateral change to the contract you have a statutory extraordinary right of termination of 30 days from the announcement.

How to proceed:

1. Wait for yallo's official notice (typically with the June or July bill)
2. Keep the notice (it shows the announcement date)
3. Send written termination to yallo customer service, referencing the extraordinary right of termination
4. Pick a new provider in parallel, request number porting (free, 1 to 3 business days)

Option 2: stay with yallo

If your plan is only adjusted moderately (in line with the Sunrise wave: +CHF 0.75 to 1.50), you can stay. yallo traditionally has aggressive promos on some plans that may remain attractive even after the increase.

Current best yallo offers on handyabo.com (before the change):

• yallo Smart CHF 24.90, unlimited Switzerland, no contract
• yallo Europe CHF 29.90 (promo from CHF 85), unlimited + EU roaming, 12-month contract
• yallo Across CHF 55, unlimited + global roaming

Option 3: switch to a cheaper Sunrise MVNO

Since yallo itself belongs to the Sunrise group and makes the change jointly with Sunrise, switching to an independent Sunrise MVNO could be safer in the long run:

Note on swype: swype is also a Sunrise subsidiary (like yallo). Anyone who wants truly independent security should choose Digital Republic, Aldi Mobile, Galaxus Mobile, Lebara or Quickline (all on the Sunrise network but with a different owner).

Who is affected, who is not?

Probably affected (based on yallo's notice and the parallel with Sunrise):

• Existing yallo mobile plan customers with postpaid plans
• yallo Smart, yallo Across and higher lines
• Promo customers pay proportionally more (discount amount nominally the same, list price rises)

Probably not affected:

• yallo Prepaid and bundles
• yallo Home Internet (no separate change is mentioned)

For the exact list you should wait for yallo's official notice or ask yallo customer service directly (tel. 0800 555 110).

Methodology and sources

The information on the price change was taken from yallo's official support page: support.yallo.ch (FR version). A German version exists on the yallo site, but it was hard to find at the time of our research.

handyabo.com compares all 22 Swiss mobile providers weekly and independently of affiliate relationships. As soon as yallo publishes the detailed list, we will update this page.
