No. An eSIM can be installed only once, and it locks to the first device it is installed on. It cannot be moved to another phone, re-scanned, or reinstalled afterward, and it is non-refundable once installed. Please install your eSIM on the device you plan to keep using. If you are switching devices and need help, contact our support team.

This is a frequent misunderstanding! Despite being centrally located in Europe, Switzerland is not part of the European Union. Therefore, the EU's 'Roam Like at Home' policy does not apply. If you're using a SIM from an EU, UK, or US carrier like Vodafone, O2, or T-Mobile, you will incur significant international roaming charges for data usage. EastESIM provides cost-effective, dedicated data plans for Switzerland, ensuring you can navigate Zurich or share photos from the Swiss Alps without unexpected expenses.

You'll be pleasantly surprised by Switzerland's exceptional mountain coverage, and EastESIM leverages this! Our eSIMs connect to premium local networks like Swisscom or Sunrise, which are renowned for their extensive reach. You'll enjoy high-speed 4G/5G connectivity in popular alpine towns like Interlaken, Grindelwald, and Zermatt, and even at many high-altitude attractions like the Jungfraujoch. Share your breathtaking mountain vistas in real-time, even from the heart of the Alps.

Our specific EastESIM plan for Switzerland is designed exclusively for use within Swiss borders. If your European itinerary includes travel beyond Switzerland, for example, a train journey from Zermatt to Milan (Italy) or from Geneva to Paris (France), your data connection will cease once you cross the border. For seamless travel across multiple European nations, EastESIM offers convenient regional plans that cover various countries, ensuring you stay connected throughout your entire adventure.

Sunrise also provides excellent performance, particularly in urban centers like Zurich and Geneva. You'll experience reliable 4G/5G speeds across the country.
