Wingo or Sunrise? The direct comparison

The starting position

The first difference lies in the network: Wingo transmits on the Swisscom network (99.8 % 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. Wingo: Swisscom network at a discount price, no minimum term. 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. Wingo mainly sells the price — support online and via chat only.

At the entry price, CHF 15.95 per month separates the two — over a contract term of 24 months, that's a CHF 382.80 difference, in favour of Wingo.

Network and coverage

Wingo: The Swisscom network is considered Switzerland's reference network: 99.8 % population coverage, leading in 5G rollout, and a regular test winner at Connect and CHIP — even in mountain and remote regions.

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.

On paper, the Swisscom network leads in population coverage. In everyday use, the difference is small for most users; it becomes noticeable in remote regions, indoors, and under high network load. More on this in the Network comparison Switzerland.

Switching from Wingo 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: Wingo or Sunrise?

On today’s data the winner is Wingo with 8 to 3 of 14 points. What weighs more heavily: Swisscom network at a discount price, no minimum term. Entry there costs CHF 13.95 per month, 10 plans are available to choose from, unlimited data from CHF 24.95.

The case against Wingo: no store network, EU roaming costs extra on basic plans. That's exactly where Sunrise excels: included services, service quality and bundle discounts — from CHF 29.90 per month. Anyone who weighs one of these arguments higher than the overall score is right to choose Sunrise; the table above shows row by row 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.
