Being present in so many countries is no coincidence. It allows international calls to be offered at particularly low prices – because the infrastructure and network partnerships are already in place. This especially benefits people who regularly stay in touch with family or friends abroad.
What makes the offer special? Simplicity and transparency
Two words come up again and again when describing Lebara: simplicity and transparency. But what does that actually mean in everyday use?
Simplicity
- No long contract terms with hidden clauses
- Clear pricing structure – you know what you’re paying upfront
- SIM cards you can activate quickly – no paperwork
- Options for both prepaid and postpaid, depending on your needs
Transparency
- No hidden roaming charges in certain zones
- Clearly communicated international tariffs
- Easy-to-understand data packages
Especially if you’re new to Switzerland, you’ve already got enough to deal with. Your SIM card shouldn’t be another complication. Whether it’s a prepaid SIM for instant use or a flexible subscription – getting started is quick, simple, and hassle-free. Just insert the SIM and you’re ready to go.
Who is this offer for?
The offer is designed for people who are mobile – both literally and in a broader sense. This includes:
- Expats and migrants who regularly call abroad
- Students and young professionals who prefer flexible plans
- Travellers who need a reliable Swiss number
- People who value transparency and fair pricing over premium extras
The team behind Lebara is international itself – and understands firsthand what it means to live between cultures and time zones. This understanding flows directly into the product: fair tariffs, clear structures, and an offer built around real needs.
Frequently asked questions
What is an MVNO and what does it have to do with my SIM card?
An MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) is a mobile provider that doesn’t operate its own network. Instead, it rents capacity from an established operator – in Switzerland, this is Sunrise. For you as a customer, this doesn’t change the network quality: you call and browse using the same network, but pay for a more streamlined and specialised offer.
Which network is used in Switzerland?
In Switzerland, all services run on the Sunrise network. This means nationwide coverage, 5G connectivity, and the infrastructure of one of the country’s largest network providers – combined with the pricing and simplicity of a specialised MVNO.
Can I use the SIM card for international calls?
Yes – international calling is a core part of the offer. Affordable international rates to a wide range of countries are a key promise. Exact pricing depends on the selected plan.
Do I need a Swiss passport to sign up?
No. The offer is explicitly designed for people without Swiss citizenship as well. Prepaid options are available with minimal requirements. Postpaid subscriptions also come with simple, clear conditions. You’ll find the exact requirements during the sign-up process.
