FAQ
Most plans for young people are aimed at those under the age of 30. This age group benefits from lower prices.
All the major providers offer dedicated plans for young people. However, they are not necessarily the cheapest option. Subsidiaries of the bigger providers like Wingo and Yallo now offer cheaper deals.
So make sure you compare all the most popular mobile deals.
Suitable plans are available for all types of user. You should ask yourself the following questions:
• How many minutes of calls do you make per month?
• How much mobile data do you use per month?
• Do you often travel abroad and need to use your mobile while you are there?
Your answers to these questions will give you an idea of your needs. If you only use your mobile phone occasionally, a prepaid deal should suffice. Simply top up your phone credit before use. This option does not tie you to a particular provider, so you can switch to a different company at any time. Prepaid deals that include data packages are also available, so you can still access the Internet when away from home.
If you make a lot of calls or do a lot of surfing, you should consider opting for a flat-rate deal. If you frequently travel abroad, your plan should include roaming.
The most common data plans offer a monthly data volume of 1 GB, 4 GB or unlimited data. 1 GB of mobile data is enough to read news articles and e-mails and for writing WhatsApp messages. Users of social media will find 1 to 4 GB of mobile data sufficient. If you listen to music for several hours at a time, you'll need at least 4 GB. If you like to stream videos and films on YouTube and Netflix or surf on your laptop using your mobile phone hotspot, an unlimited deal is your best bet.
Here are some examples of data usage as a guide:
- Social media: 300 MB for 30 minutes
- Watching a football match while out and about: 6 GB
- Watching Netflix with low-quality resolution: 250 MB
- Sending a WhatsApp text message of 200 characters: 1 KB
- Sending a photo via WhatsApp: up to 90 KB
- Sending a WhatsApp voice message: 0.3 MB per minute
So depending on your usage, you may need anything from very little mobile data to an unlimited, flat-rate deal. Such flat-rate deals give you unlimited data in Switzerland and even abroad if necessary.
