FAQ about Sunrise
Sunrise offers the Up Mobile line (Lite, M, L, XL) plus Swiss Connect tariffs. Up Mobile L currently sits at CHF 49.90/month with unlimited Swiss data, EU roaming, and up to 5 Apple Watches free (24 months). Swiss Connect Lite from CHF 34.90/month is the entry-level option; Swiss Connect Europe+ offers permanent unlimited EU roaming.
Sunrise has over 4,800 Trustpilot reviews with a solid average. Customer highlights: Switzerland's second-best network, strong 5G coverage, own cable network for internet (acquired UPC). Weaknesses: occasional service issues with contract changes, premium pricing.
Sunrise runs Switzerland's second-largest mobile network with 99% population coverage. The best 5G coverage after Swisscom, available across most cities. Sunrise acquired UPC in 2020 and now operates the country's largest cable network for internet and TV.
yallo and swype are Sunrise sub-brands and use the same Sunrise network, but at lower prices. yallo targets mainstream customers with moderate pricing; swype targets digital-first users with an app-only setup. Sunrise direct offers premium service with stores and advice, while yallo and swype are online brands without physical presence.
Yes. Swiss Connect Europe+ offers permanent unlimited EU roaming for CHF 34.90/month. Up Mobile L and XL also include generous EU packages. For pure EU roaming, Swiss Connect Europe+ is currently one of the best Swiss tariffs.
Sunrise direct makes sense if you want full customer service, in-store advice, device sales, or an internet bundle. For a pure mobile plan with no service overhead, Digital Republic (a Sunrise MVNO) starts at CHF 13/month on the same network.
Sunrise allows up to 5 Apple Watches per mobile plan via the We Connect extra SIM watch option (CHF 5/month per watch, currently 24 months free with Up Mobile L and XL). That makes Sunrise the best Swiss provider for Apple Watch households.
