Giga.Tel eSIM Data Plans for Switzerland

Giga.Tel does not provide a truly unlimited data eSIM for Switzerland. The plans that carry “Unlimited” in their title are, in fact, capped – for example, a 100GB 30‑day plan or a 1GB per day plan that reduces speed to 512kbps once the threshold is reached. Travelers who need a larger data allowance can choose one of Giga.Tel’s fixed data plans, such as the 100GB plan valid for 30 days or the 60GB plan for 60 days. These options may be more cost‑effective for users who expect to consume a substantial amount of data while traveling in Switzerland.

Giga.Tel does not offer an eSIM for Switzerland that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. The provider only sells data‑only eSIMs that can be used for high‑speed Internet. Travelers who need voice or text communication can use data‑based VoIP apps such as WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage, which operate over the data connection without requiring a Swiss phone number or SMS support.

Giga.Tel offers 5 single‑country plans that cover only Switzerland, as well as 161 multi‑country plans that include Switzerland among their destinations. The single‑country options come in both fixed‑data and daily‑data‑cap varieties, giving travelers a choice between a set amount of data for the entire validity period or a daily quota that resets each day. The multi‑country catalogue mirrors this mix, providing a range of plans for longer trips across several countries.

Across all available plans the price ranges from about $4.99 to $312.49, while the data allowance varies from 500 MB up to 100 GB. Daily data‑cap plans offer a fixed amount of data each day and are best suited for short stays, whereas fixed‑data‑cap plans give a total allocation that can be used throughout the plan’s validity.
