Lycamobile

Lycamobile operates as a virtual mobile network on Swisscom's infrastructure, specializing in international calling and data to over 200 destinations worldwide. Like Lebara, it's built for expatriates, but Lycamobile's route coverage is notably broader and includes some destinations with lower calling rates. You can purchase credit or bundles online or via their app and activate within hours.

Lycamobile makes sense if you're comparing international MVNOs and need to call or text to unusual geographic clusters, or if you prefer Swisscom's network over Sunrise. The rates for standard Swiss domestic calling are comparable to other budget providers, so you'll pay for the international specialty primarily through international rates rather than domestic markup. Many expatriates use Lycamobile as their main number specifically because of this global calling flexibility.
