    Hi Anagan,

    If your focus is mainly data, you might want to consider using the Travelers’ WiFi. You can find all the details here: http://www.myswissalps.com/simcard. There is also option to buy a SIM card (scroll down to Option 2).

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,

    Anna

    I can buy orange SIM card from USA that will work in Italy for sure. Orange company is called salt in Switzerland. Does anyone know if orange will work without any issue in Switzerland and no roaming charge?

    Hi Anagan,

    I recommend to double check that with Orange. If it works in it Italy it will likely work in Switzerland as well, but Switzerland is not part of the EU and in rare cases that could make a difference price wise.
