The starting position
The first difference lies in the network: Post Mobile transmits on the Salt network (around 99 % of the population), Sunrise on the Sunrise network (its own network) (over 99 % of the population). Anyone who travels a lot or lives in an outlying region should therefore check the coverage at their own location first and only then look at the price.
The second difference is positioning. Post Mobile: low prices plus personal advice in-store. Sunrise: included features, service and bundle discounts.
It's also a duel of two business models. Sunrise sells network plus service — stores across Switzerland, hotline and chat. Post Mobile mainly sells the price — online and in every post office branch.
At the entry price, there's CHF 17.95 per month between the two — over a contract term of 24 months, that's a CHF 430.80 difference, in favour of Post Mobile.

Network and coverage
Post Mobile: Salt operates its own network with around 99 % 4G population coverage; 5G rollout is concentrated on cities and agglomerations. In some regions, coverage is weaker than with Swisscom — it's worth checking the coverage map for your place of residence.
Sunrise: The Sunrise network covers over 99 % of the population with 4G and is among the largest 5G networks in the country. In the Connect network test, Sunrise regularly achieves "very good", usually just behind Swisscom.
Both networks achieve comparable population coverage. The difference occurs locally — indoors, in valleys, along railway lines. That's why you should check the Coverage at your address, before deciding based on price.
Switching from Post Mobile to Sunrise — and vice versa
The number stays with you in both directions: you request the port from the new provider, who handles the switch with the old one. The order matters — first the check the cancellation and its notice period, then submit the porting request, so the number is not switched off beforehand. Details are in the article on Number portability.
If all you want is a lower price, you do not necessarily have to switch: sometimes a call to your current provider is enough. When switching is worth it anyway is explained in Switch instead of renewing.
Conclusion: Post Mobile or Sunrise?
On today’s data the winner is Post Mobile mit 5 zu 5 von 14 Punkten nach Stichentscheid. Was schwerer wiegt: tiefe Preise plus persönliche Beratung in der Filiale. Der Einstieg kostet dort CHF 11.95 pro Monat, 6 Tarife stehen zur Wahl, unlimitierte Daten ab CHF 11.95.
What speaks against Post Mobile: small range, no large roaming packages. That's exactly where Sunrise is strong: included services, service and bundle discounts — from CHF 29.90 per month. Anyone who weighs one of these arguments more heavily than the overall score is right to choose Sunrise; the table above shows line by line where the difference lies.
And if neither of the two fits: in the Overall comparison all Swiss providers stand side by side, with the same daily prices.

How this head-to-head is produced
Alle Zahlen auf dieser Seite kommen aus unserer Tarifdatenbank. Die Tarife werden jede Nacht automatisch von den offiziellen Anbieter-Websites eingelesen; die Angaben geben den Stand vom 6. Oktober 2026 wieder und werden bei jeder Aktualisierung neu berechnet — inklusive Kategoriesieger und Punktestand.
12 criteria worth up to 15 points are available for scoring; in this head-to-head, 11 criteria worth 14 points were sound. Criteria for which a provider states no comparable figures — such as EU roaming without a stated gigabyte amount — are left out of the scoring and marked in the table. Network, entry price and the cheapest plan with unlimited data count double, all other criteria once. Prices count as equivalent if they are less than CHF 1.00 apart, shares up to 5 percentage points of difference; such rows end in a draw. For the network we assess only the stated population coverage — the Sunrise and Salt networks therefore count as equivalent for us, while the Swisscom network leads with 99.8 %.
This duel ends in a tie. In this situation, we name the editorially higher-prioritised provider first. handy·abo is an offer from MARKTIX AG and is financed through referral commissions. With equivalent offers — almost identical price and scope — we name partner providers first. Where the text speaks of “the cheapest” plan, the genuinely cheapest is always meant, irrespective of any partnership. Details in the Affiliate disclosure.
