Swisscom offers tourists a month's LTE
08 December 2011
Swisscom, who announced last month it has been trialling LTE in several areas across the country, has now made the service commercially available through outlets in tourist areas.
Visitors to Switzerland can now purchase a week's LTE access for CHF 19 (€15.3) while a monthly subscription costs CHF 60 (€48.5). Users must have a compatible LTE USB modem and a computer running Windows XP, Vista or Win7. The USB modem and SIM card can be purchased at Swisscom's Davos and St. Moritz retail outlets, and in the tourist offices of the other sites.
The following Swiss tourist areas below have been equipped with LTE for the pilot project: Davos, Grindelwald, Gstaad, Leuk-les-Bains, Montana, Saas Fee and St-Moritz/Celerina.
As of January 31, 2012, eleven Swisscom Shops will also be equipped with LTE in major cities in Switzerland.
The LTE pilot project continues until mid-2012.
