Airport SIM & eSIM Prices

Compare SIM and eSIM prices by vendor and duration.

Swisscom prepaid SIM

Swisscom
30 days

Swisscom has by far the strongest and most reliable network across Switzerland, including in mountain valleys and tunnels where other carriers can drop out — worth the premium if Zurich is one stop before the Alps. Passport required to register the SIM.

📍 Swisscom Shops in the city and at Zürich Airport arrivals
SIM cardCHF 30

Sunrise prepaid SIM

Sunrise
30 days

A strong second-place network at a noticeably lower price than Swisscom, fine for a trip that stays mostly in the cities. Passport required to register.

📍 Sunrise shops in the city centre and at Zürich Airport
SIM cardCHF 20

Salt prepaid SIM

Salt
30 days

Usually the cheapest of the three main networks, with large data bundles aimed squarely at tourists, though coverage thins out fastest once you leave the cities for the mountains. A quick, low-cost option if your trip stays in Zurich, Geneva and other lowland cities.

📍 Salt shops in the city and self-service kiosks at Zürich Airport
SIM cardCHF 15

Swisscom eSIM

Swisscom
30 days

The same strong nationwide network as a digital SIM, letting a home number stay active on the other line. Useful to activate before landing so coverage is ready the moment you touch down. Passport details are still required during setup.

📍 Activated online before arrival, or at Swisscom Shops in the city
