By far the best mobile operator I’ve ever dealt with. I travel a lot, and can easily pause subscriptions when I’ll be gone for a longer time. I lost my SIM card once, and got a replacement within a business day free of charge. So easy to deal with in every regard and flexible options.

I’ve been using Digital Republic as my mobile phone carrier for the last few years in Switzerland. Their online portal makes it very easy to manage your subscription, their customer service is responsive, and I have gotten good coverage both inside of CH and in the rest of Europe. I’m very happy with their service and would highly recommend!

I’ve been with Digital Republic for a while now and loved them especially when I lived abroad and was able to pay only for months needed. But I’ve been back in Switzerland for a while and have moved my whole family to Digital Republic because they’re simply more value for money, have a better admin interface and superb customer service than all other Swiss Telcos including the big ones. They keep improving service even when you think it’s been alright as it was. And now they give you 5GB roaming per month which is smoky great.

The best customer support that I’ve ever used. Friendly, kind, fast and transparent. I did some mistakes while registering the transition from my old provider and a person from customer support helped me to clean up my mess in less than 5 minutes!

When moving to CH, choosing the right phone service provider can be hard. I had a gret experience and support from assistant Jasmin, working in customer service for Digital Republic. Thankful ✨️

I wanted a SIM with a new number, but while filling out the form to activate the SIM, I accidentally ported my current phone service to DR. Thanks to the prompt support from customer service, the situation was resolved with a great solution. The SIM signal is also strong, and I chose the flat package. The service range and data plan are working perfectly. I also wanted a cheaper rate along with a good solution for the range, and I’m happy to say I got both.Thank you very much, Team DR!

Convinced? Or Do You Have Any More Questions?

An eSIM is a chip that, unlike a conventional SIM card, is permanently integrated in the end device (e=embedded). This does not only eliminate the physical SIM card, but also enables more flexible and simpler mobile communications use.

If you have an eSIM-enabled device, you can create an account in the customer portal and select the option “Activate eSIM”. Select your rate plan and enter your personal data. Then scan the QR code that appears and your eSIM profile will be active.

Yes, as a new customer with a Swiss residence, you can test the eSIM free of charge. Activate your first eSIM in the customer portal and you don’t have to pay anything for the first 30 days, provided you meet the conditions.

No. An eSIM is the digital alternative to the conventional physical SIM card, while dual SIM describes the availability of two SIM slots in a smartphone. However, thanks to the eSIM, your smartphone automatically becomes a dual-SIM device because the SIM slot remains free for a physical SIM due to the chip already installed.

Since eSIM-capable smartphones usually also have a slot for SIM cards, they automatically become dual-SIM devices. For example, an active eSIM profile and an active physical SIM card in the slot can be used to make calls with two phone numbers (e.g., private and business) or to run the subscriptions for telephony and data via one of the SIMs each.

The same functions can be used with an eSIM as with a regular SIM card. The eSIM can be used with any eSIM-enabled device. Whether smartphone, tracker, smartwatch or tablet: more and more devices in Switzerland are eSIM-enabled. You can find a list of eSIM-compatible devices here.

If you have accidentally deleted your eSIM profile, you can load a new profile at any time via the customer portal. To do so, simply follow our guidance in the support portal.

You can activate an eSIM directly on your wearable, which will have its own phone number. If you want to connect an Apple Watch or Samsung Galaxy Watch, you can use our Watch SIM option as a supplement to your main subscription. The smartphone and the Watch will then share the same phone number.
