    Just wandering if anybody has traveled to Switzerland using International Day pass with AT&T? I have used it in Europe with no problems but wandering how well it works in the Alps. We are doing a lot of Mountain Tops and some hiking so want to make sure I have cell service or internet. Is it easier to rent the mobile Internet? Thank you for all your help.

    The ATT IDP works flawlessly in Switzerland.

    Swisscom has unbelievable reach, even on the highest summits and down in the valleys

    We used The ATT International Day Pass our trip one year ago and had access everywhere we went, except for a brief interruption while hiking from Mannlichen to Kleine Scheidegg.

    That’s curious as we have been to region every year for 28 years. But I don’t think we have ever checked our phones on that stunning do-not-miss wqlk. But it doesn’t take long to complete so easily to be back on-line soon!
