Stay Connected in Switzerland (and Beyond) with a Single eSIM: The Smart Alternative to Roaming
Switzerland is a stunning country. With its Alpine peaks, peaceful lakes, cosmopolitan cities like Geneva and Zurich, and world-famous ski resorts, it attracts millions of visitors every year. But for connected travelers, it's also notoriously expensive when it comes to mobile data.
Unlike the European Union, Switzerland is not part of the “Roam Like at Home” agreement. And European mobile operators take full advantage by keeping high — and often hidden — roaming fees. In December 2022, I learned this the hard way.
A Weekend with Friends That Cost Me More Than Expected
I was invited to spend a weekend with friends near Lausanne, in French-speaking Switzerland. Before leaving, I had bought an eSIM from a major international provider, assuming it would do the job. Unfortunately, once there, the activation process was painful, the signal weak in the semi-mountainous area, and the user interface unclear.
After just a few minutes, I realized my phone had silently switched back to my Belgian provider... Result: out-of-bundle data, blocked service, and a weekend spent looking for Wi-Fi instead of enjoying my friends’ company.
That experience was a turning point. With my partner Sébastien, we started working on what would become WonderSIM: a solution designed so this never happens again. – Gregory Glineur co-founder WonderSIM
Real Stories from Other Travelers
One of our users shared a similar experience. He was driving from Belgium to northern Italy. To avoid high roaming fees, he had turned off his mobile data while crossing Switzerland. But an unexpected road detour changed everything.
“Waze stopped working right after crossing the Swiss border. Everything was going normal. Until the highway was closed due to roadworks, I had no guidance at all. I ended up completely lost, wasting over an hour. I’ve never crossed Switzerland again without a working eSIM.”
These situations are more common than you’d think.
What WonderSIM Actually Changes?
With WonderSIM, you install a single eSIM on your smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Then, you can activate data plans for different European countries, including Switzerland, without ever needing to uninstall or reinstall anything.
One day you’re in Geneva, the next in Zurich, then off to Milan? No problem. Your eSIM stays the same, and you simply activate the right plan at the right time. All managed from your personal dashboard.
Even better, for frequent travelers, we offer annual plans (12 x2GB or 12x5GB monthly) perfect for border-crossers, digital nomads, and business travelers.
