Why Is It Worth Buying an eSIM for Switzerland?
Switzerland is not part of the EU (European Union) or the EEA (European Economic Area), so the "Roam Like at Home" policy doesn't automatically cover it – meaning there's no free roaming by default. This applies to all mobile operators. While some include Switzerland in certain tariff plans, these require purchasing special packagesс without them, and roaming fees are charged as global rates. Here are the exact benefits you get from using an eSIM:
- - Cost savings: Since Switzerland is considered worldwide roaming, daily costs can reach €10-20. However, with Toosim's eSIM, 1 GB per day costs just €3.99 (and larger packages are even more economical). Below is a table showing examples of foreign roaming fees from popular European operators.
