The fifth and final major price adjustment in the Swiss telecom market in 2026: following Swisscom (April), Salt (June), Sunrise and yallo (August), Lebara — the second low-cost brand of the Sunrise group — is also raising the prices of its mobile subscriptions from August 1, 2026.
News Summary:
From August 1, 2026, monthly base fees for Lebara mobile plans will increase.
Increase between CHF 0.50 and CHF 2.00/month — for most plans, the adjustment will be CHF 1.00/month.
Not affected: Lebara Prepaid offers and add-on options.
Existing discounts remain unchanged in value and duration.
How customers are notified: in writing from June 1, 2026.
The adjustment applies to both existing and new subscriptions.
Why is Lebara raising prices and by how much?
Lebara cites growing demands on network performance, stability, cybersecurity and operational resilience, alongside continuously rising data consumption. The operator uses Sunrise's mobile network — Switzerland's largest 5G network, including a nationwide 5G standalone network.

Lebara Data and Lebara Data S (data plans) | + CHF 0.50 |
Lebara XXL | + CHF 2.00 |
All other mobile plans (except Lebara Zero) | + CHF 1.00 |

Note on discounts: Existing discounts — including lifetime discounts — remain unchanged in absolute value and duration. Only the base list price increases.
