Travel day pass data: a new standard tariff for data roaming

With its new Freedom subscriptions, Sunrise is saying goodbye to the previous standard tariff for data roaming in Region 1 - from CHF 1.00 for 1 megabyte (MB) depending on the country – and replacing it with the Travel day pass data tariff. New in 46 countries*: 100 MB for CHF 1.90 per day. New Freedom subscriptions, which do not include roaming volumes, now offer the lowest standard tariff for data roaming in 46 countries*.

Oliver Zadori, expert of the comparison service dschungelkompass.ch comments: "travel days pass data in Europe is an excellent thing. For one thing, it allows customers to surf the Internet at affordable rates; and on the other hand, it offers cost protection. The best part is that you no longer have to select and activate a roaming option. By eliminating fees for incoming voice messages worldwide, Sunrise is leading the way for the industry. This move is extremely customer-friendly. Customers never understood why they were being charged twice for incoming voice messages while roaming."

Travel day pass data also guarantees full cost protection. If the 100 MB data credits are used up, data roaming is blocked and further data use is only possible with another data package, e. g. 100 MB for CHF 1.90 or 2 GB for CHF 29.00.

Furthermore, there are better roaming services overall:

*Region 1 – 46 Countries: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Faroe Islands, Finland, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Greece, Greenland, Guernsey, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Isle of Man, Italy, Jersey, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal (incl.

Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico) and Vatican City. Overseas territories of the mentioned countries are excluded.

Best subscription for the most popular destinations

Freedom swiss neighbors (with launch promotion of CHF 79.00 instead of CHF 95.00/month with a 24-month contract) is the best offer at the best time. The holiday season is approaching and France, Germany, Austria and Italy are among the 5 most popular destinations for Swiss tourists.

Freedom swiss neighbors includes roaming in neighboring countries. Within and between countries customers can make unlimited calls and send SMS/MMS messages. Surfing with High Speed 4G+ is unlimited in Switzerland, and 4 GB of data is available in the neighbor countries every month. This makes Freedom swiss neighbors the best offer for Swiss tourists and cross-border commuters.

New Freedom europe & US (CHF 130.00/month) includes international calls and even more roaming. Data roaming credit has been doubled from 2 GB to 4 GB, halving the price per MB. Unlimited calls, SMS, and MMS are included within and between countries. With the same deal in 46 countries, it's easier than ever to stay connected at no extra cost.

More calls, more data, more speed
