I will be traveling from Zurich down to Zermatt starting on 9/25/23. I currently have ATT as a cell phone provider but am planning on switching to T-Mobile soon as they are more affordable for domestic and international. Can anyone provide insight on cell phone service and data with either provider? Thank you for any insight.

HI Ciriza2193,
I’ve read from previous posts that T-Mobile works fine Switzerland. However you should double check with your provider and find out the international roaming charges before using the service abroad.

Hi! I’m currently in luzern and have TMobile. Calls are 25 cents per minute and data/text messaging is included with plan. I have magenta. No issues at all
Switched from Verizon to T mobile for this reason. Can use data from T-Mobile as soon as you get off plane. No extra charge. However to make phone calls there is a charge so I just use Skype.
