Stay connected in Basel

Basel sits exactly where Switzerland, France and Germany meet, served by EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg (a single airport shared by all three countries) and Basel SBB, a major interchange for trains heading into Switzerland, France and Germany alike. If your route crosses borders -- or you're in town for one of Basel's trade fairs -- a working eSIM from the moment you land keeps connections, timetables and bookings one tap away.

Every plan runs on Switzerland’s top-tier Swisscom / Sunrise / Salt 4G/5G networks, so you get fast, reliable data in Basel and right across the country. Install your eSIM before you fly, then switch it on when you land -- no queuing for a SIM card and no roaming bill when you get home.

Good to know around Basel:

  • EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg (BSL/MLH/EAP)
  • Basel SBB -- tri-national rail interchange
  • Messe Basel exhibition & convention centre
  • Old Town & Rhine riverfront

eSIM FAQ -- Basel

What is a Switzerland eSIM and how does it work?
An eSIM is a digital SIM built into most phones sold since 2018. Instead of a physical card, your plan activates from a QR code you get right after checkout. Scan it once and your phone connects to a Swiss mobile network -- no shop visit, no card swap, and your regular SIM stays in place for your calls and texts on your normal number.
When can I use my eSIM after buying it?
Within minutes. Checkout is instant (card, PayPal or Google Pay) and your eSIM details are ready right after. Install it calmly before your flight, then switch it on the moment you land -- at Zurich Airport, Geneva Airport, or wherever your trip into Switzerland starts.
Is my phone compatible with eSIM?
Most recent phones are: iPhone XS and newer, Google Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy S, Note and Z models. Your phone also needs to be carrier-unlocked. Not sure? Message us on WhatsApp and we'll check before you buy.
Does the eSIM work on SBB trains and at the airports?
Yes. Our plans run on Switzerland's national networks (Swisscom, Sunrise, Salt), which cover the airports, main stations, city centres and the SBB rail corridors connecting Zurich, Geneva, Basel and Bern. As with any carrier, a handful of deep tunnels or very remote spots can have weaker coverage.
Will I get hit with a roaming bill?
No. You pay a fixed price upfront for a set amount of data. No roaming charges when you get home, no deposit, no contract. When your data runs low, buying a top-up plan takes seconds.
Can I still receive calls and texts on my normal number?
Yes. Our plans are data-only and run alongside your regular SIM. Call and message for free over data via WhatsApp, FaceTime or Telegram, while your main SIM keeps your number active for calls and texts.
What happens when my data runs out?
Just buy another plan -- checkout takes seconds, no need to find a shop. If you know you'll use a lot of data, pick a bigger plan from the start.
How does checkout work?
Pick a plan, choose your currency, and click "Get Your eSIM" -- you land straight on a secure checkout (card, PayPal or Google Pay). No account, no forms. Prefer to ask first? Our WhatsApp chat is right there too.
