For a week in Switzerland, the Switzerland eSIM offers a 7 day validity option paired with data amounts such as 5 GB, 10 GB or unlimited data. Choose a smaller plan like 3 GB or 5 GB for maps, messaging and browsing, or unlimited data if you plan to stream or make frequent video calls.
The Switzerland eSIM provides data coverage across Switzerland (CH), including cities travellers visit such as Zurich, Lucerne and Interlaken. It is designed for use within Switzerland only.
The validity of the Switzerland eSIM starts once the plan is activated, then counts down over the chosen period of 1, 7, 15, 30 or 180 days. You install the eSIM from the QR code before your trip and it begins its countdown when the plan activates.
The Switzerland eSIM is delivered digitally by email as a QR code after your one-off, prepaid purchase. There is no physical SIM to collect or post; you scan the QR code to install it on your phone.
Yes, your existing phone number stays active for calls and texts through your primary SIM while the Switzerland eSIM handles data. The eSIM adds a separate data line and does not change your current number.
When your data runs out on the Switzerland eSIM, you can buy another Switzerland eSIM plan to keep your data going. Plans are a prepaid, one-off purchase with no subscription, so you simply purchase again when needed.
The Switzerland eSIM works on eSIM-compatible, unlocked phones. Check that your device supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked before purchasing, as older or locked phones may not be able to install the eSIM.
Whether hotspot or tethering is available depends on your device settings and the plan you choose for the Switzerland eSIM. The eSIM provides mobile data to your phone; a larger or unlimited data plan is better suited if you intend to share the connection.
The Switzerland eSIM offers validity periods of 1, 7, 15, 30 and 180 days, so the shortest plan lasts 1 day and the longest lasts 180 days. This makes it suitable for both a single-day visit and an extended stay of several months.

I used Viasimo to travel home to California this year. The instructions were super easy to follow and I had no problems with the service for the whole 20 days that I used it. It was nice not to worry about

Landed in Tokyo, switched off flight mode and I was online before I reached passport control. No SIM-card queues, no surprise bill afterwards.
