Following price increases from Swisscom (April 2026) and Salt (June 2026), Switzerland's second-largest operator is making its move: Sunrise has announced a price adjustment for all mobile and internet subscriptions for private and business customers, effective August 1, 2026.
News Summary:
From August 1, 2026, monthly base fees for Sunrise Mobile and Internet plans will increase.
Increase of CHF 1.50/month per primary subscription (private and business customers).
Increase of CHF 0.75/month per additional SIM under multi-mobile plans (e.g. Family Benefit) or combined Internet + mobile bundles (Home Benefit).
Yallo and Lebara also affected: increases ranging from CHF 0.50 to CHF 2.00/month depending on contract type.
How customers are notified: affected customers will be informed in writing via their bill starting June 1, 2026.
Not affected: Prepaid plans, device installment payments, Swype and CHmobile brands, Home Security, additional options (add-ons), and QoQa offers.
Why is Sunrise raising prices and by how much?
Sunrise cites rising energy, labor, and network infrastructure costs, alongside continuously growing data demand. The adjustment applies to both existing and new subscriptions activated after August 1, 2026.
Subscription Type | Monthly Increase |
Primary Mobile plan (e.g. Swiss Connect) | + CHF 1.50 |
Primary Internet plan | + CHF 1.50 |
Additional plans (Family Benefit / Home Benefit) | + CHF 0.75 per SIM |
Note on discounts: Percentage discounts (e.g. 50% Family Benefit) are applied to the new list price. Example: list price CHF 50.–, 50% discount → you pay CHF 25.–. After the increase: list price CHF 51.50, new discounted price CHF 25.75. Loyalty discounts remain unchanged.
