Here in Switzerland we have some of the highest mobile prices ($30+) [1], yet our mobile providers will not remove the fee like the rest or Europe. Our politician try to enforce every single new EU-law, but when there's once something that would benefit the people, they come up with many excuses why this couldn't be applied and how Switzerland isn't part of the EU and doesn't have to follow through...

- tribaal 9y agoThat's because Swisscom is very good at lobbying, especially when that means they get to sit on their ass and collect free money for longer.
- geoka9 9y agoAmazing, $30 is considered high for a mobile plan. In Canada it's the price of the lowest end plan from the lowest end provider. A plan from a big name provider will be at least $60 with capped data.

- eXpl0it3r 9y agoIs that USD or CAD? $30 is also among the lower prices you have to pay for a plan in Switzerland. But it's kind of hard to define, since there many variables (data speed, data cap, phone call prices, coverage, etc). Most people I know are running on $60 to $100 plans. I'm looking forward to when my company is paying my mobile bill.
- ilyagr 9y agoMy guess is that people calling you also have to pay high prices per minute, as is common in Europe. So, the price doesn't include incoming calls. Not sure whether Canada world like US or like Europe.
