Swiss mobile plans with no minimum term: compare flexible tariffs
If you are looking for a “mobile plan without a contract”, you usually mean a tariff without a long minimum term. Even prepaid comes with a contract and terms of use. Three separate questions matter: how long must you pay at a minimum, what notice is required to leave, and which period have you already paid for?
As of 1 November 2026. This comparison covers actual mobile tariffs, not home internet connections. The selection focuses on short commitments and transparent costs. It is not a complete market ranking and is not based on our own network tests.
Flexible mobile plans compared
Offer | Price | Commitment and ending the plan |
Digital Republic Flat Mobile One | CHF 13 / 30 days; activation CHF 0 | No additional minimum term; deactivate at the end of the paid period. |
Galaxus Mobile Basic | CHF 12 / month; activation CHF 0 | No minimum term; immediate cancellation in the first month, then at the end of the following month. |
Galaxus Mobile CH Unlimited | CHF 19 / month; activation CHF 0 | Same cancellation rule as Basic; no minimum term. |
Sunrise Prepaid Unlimited | CHF 2.50 / 24-hour period used | No monthly base fee or minimum duration; consider the starter package separately. |

Which offer suits your everyday needs?
You need lots of data every day and want to pay in short periods: Digital Republic One is an obvious candidate for your shortlist. Check the Sunrise network at the places that matter to you and look carefully in the customer portal at when the next payment is due. The 30-day version suits the flexibility considered here; a prepaid annual version serves a different purpose.
You need little data but make regular calls: Galaxus Basic includes 3 GB of Swiss data and unlimited domestic calls and SMS. If you regularly need more, consider a tariff with more data instead of buying lots of add-ons. CH Unlimited additionally includes unlimited domestic data and 3 GB in the EU/USA. The notice period is the same for both; the larger package is not more flexible.
You use the SIM only on individual days: Sunrise Prepaid may suit you. Four separately billed 24-hour periods amount to CHF 10 in usage charges; 30 periods cost CHF 75. This tariff is therefore not automatically a money-saving choice for a smartphone used constantly. Check in advance what triggers a usage period and switch off unnecessary mobile background data.
What does flexibility cost?
Example calculation without extra usage | Short-term use | Longer-term comparison |
Digital Republic One, 30-day packages | 3 packages / 90 days: CHF 39 | 13 packages / 390 days: CHF 169 |
Galaxus Basic | 3 full months: CHF 36 | 12 / 24 full months: CHF 144 / CHF 288 |
Galaxus CH Unlimited | 3 full months: CHF 57 | 12 / 24 full months: CHF 228 / CHF 456 |
Our calculation assumes an unchanged tariff and timely termination; no devices, travel options or discount groups. Digital Republic bills in 30-day periods: three packages cover 90 days, but not necessarily three calendar months. Twelve packages cover only 360 days. The 390-day row therefore shows the amount payable for whole packages covering at least one year of use, not an artificially reduced annual price.
With Galaxus, the three-month costs shown apply only if the connection actually ends after three full months. From the second contract month, “no minimum term” does not mean “ended tomorrow at no cost”. For example, under the published rule, cancellation on 10 November takes effect on 31 December. Have the date confirmed in the Cockpit before activating an overlapping new contract.
Switch safely and keep your number
First check the contract summary from your current provider: minimum term, notice period, cancellation channel and outstanding device payments. Ask the new provider to port your number on the confirmed contract end date. Digital Republic and Galaxus explain that they handle cancellation with your previous provider as part of this switch. An additional, uncoordinated cancellation is therefore not automatically the right first step.
Save the order confirmation and porting date. Afterwards, compare the final bill from your previous provider with the first bill from the new one. Pay particular attention to overlapping periods, options and device charges. Flexibility is valuable if you can actually use it; a low advertised price is of little help if the exit date and billing remain unclear.
