For several years now, mobile operators in Switzerland have been offering family plans. There are still only a few such offers on the market, but we'll take a quick look at them below.

Mobile operators in Switzerland, who offer cell phone plans that include a smartphone free of charge or at a substantial discount, are well aware of the current cost of the most innovative phones.

Can I buy a mobile without a subscription committment?

Of course, it's possible to buy a cell phone without taking out a cell phone plan, especially if you want to take advantage of a no-commitment plan with the operator of your choice, or a prepaid package.

You can buy this phone or smartphone directly from your mobile operator if they offer handsets in addition to their subscriptions. But you can also buy the phone elsewhere, either from an online retailer or from a private individual if you prefer to buy a second-hand phone.

All you need to do is make sure that the phone or smartphone is unlocked for the operator of your choice, with whom you'll be taking out a subscription.

How do you choose the right mobile package for your needs?

To conclude this article on the best mobile packages in Switzerland, we'd like to show you how to find the right package for your needs. To do so, you'll need to evaluate the following criteria:

• The most suitable type of mobile package: Unless you opt for an unlimited package, you'll need to take stock of your current communication habits in terms of the number of calls, number of text messages sent, and Internet usage.
• A package with or without commitment: if you're looking for a smartphone at a lower price when you sign up for your mobile package, then you'll need to look at packages with a minimum commitment of 12 to 24 months. If this isn't the case, and you don't want to commit to a service provider, you can opt for a package without commitment or even a prepaid package.
• The possibility of making international calls: Do you regularly call abroad, or do you travel frequently? If so, we recommend a package that includes SMS, calls, and data abroad.
• Find the best value for money: More and more low-cost cell phone operators are offering you unbeatable prices for your mobile subscription. But before subscribing to one of these offers, bear in mind that you won't benefit from some of the additional services included in more comprehensive packages, such as after-sales service in a physical branch or better network coverage.
