iPhone Prices Announced by Swisscom: 99.- CHF Hardware

Name Price Data iPhone 8 GB iPhone 16 GB
liberty grande 55.- 1 GB 99.- 199.-
liberty mezzo 35.- 250 MB 199.- 299.-
liberty piccolo 25.- 100 MB 249.- 349.-
easy liberty uno Pre-Paid 0 MB 519.- 619.-

The cheapest iPhone will cost you 619.- without any contract and megabytes. The cheapest contract is 849.- over two years, device and 24×25.-. Not cheap, but cheaper than in the US.
Maybe Americans import the iPhone from now on from Switzerland? 🙂

This is almost as worse as Rogers in Canada.
It looks like Swisscom wants to make money with users watching YouTube, websites and more on their iPhone. I could not find the prices for every extra MB, but I doubt they will be low.

UPDATE: The Orange statement: No prices until July 11th!

UPDATE 2: The price for 1 MB on the pre-paid offer is 1.- CHF. So if you download 100MB it costs you 100.-. Insane. BUT all phone calls are free. This clearly shows, the iPhone is not a phone, but a surf-computer.

  1. Thanks for the info.

    I don’t think phone calls are free, you still pay for phone calls at .80 centimes CHF per hour of calling if you are on the zero subscription plan (see the plan details).

    Same with the other plans…calls charged at .50centimes/hr, meaning you don’t get ANY call minutes included with the subscription price.

    Would be a great deal if call were free!

  2. – Tell me about it, the most inexpensive price that one would be able to obtain the I-Phone 16GB is about 750USD with a contract. Without one, you would find one for 519USD and that’s not even the 16GB version, but the 8GB. I do like the iPhone a lot, but until they open up the market to all networks in the states, it would leave a good portion of the cell-phone US customer-base in a holding pattern.
