In Switzerland, Sunrise offers the second-fastest Internet after Swisscom and is also only slightly behind Swisscom in mobile network coverage.

Sunrise is one of the few Swiss providers to operate its own mobile network. In Switzerland, Sunrise has a market share of 25% (as of 2020), making it the second-largest mobile network operator in the country. According to Sunrise, the following networks are operated: 3G (UMTS/HSPA), 4G (LTE), 4G /LTE Advanced, 5G.

The network coverage of a mobile operator shows you the availability of a mobile network at a certain location. If this is good at a location, good reception can be guaranteed.

How good is the Sunrise network?

According to quality tests, Sunrise is one of the best networks in the German-speaking world. For example, Sunrise was the only mobile provider to receive the top rating of "outstanding" four times in a row in connect's internationally recognized quality benchmark test. 

Sunrise 4G and 4G+ network coverage

In 2019, Sunrise had already achieved nationwide 4G coverage of 96% of the Swiss population. For 4G+, the figure is 85%. 

Sunrise 5G network coverage

Sunrise has a 5G network coverage of 80%. As early as 2018, Sunrise began expanding its 5G network and in 2022 already provided 1132 cities and towns with high-speed internet. The network provider is concentrating on first supplying households and companies with 5G that do not yet have a fiber optic connection and thus still have access to super-fast Internet.

They also answer any questions reliably and professionally and find solutions. 

If you sign up for a Sunrise subscription at discounted rates through alao, our customer service will take care of everything. We cancel your old contract (which is possible from 6 months before expiration), take your number with you free of charge and make sure that your new contract starts on your desired date. Even after that, we will be at your side to answer any questions or help you with any problems that may arise. 

You can reach our customer service via chat, email and by phone from Monday to Friday from 8 am to 8 pm and on Saturdays and Sundays from 9 am to 5 pm.

There are many reasons to cancel your Sunrise subscription, and each one has different things to consider. Sunrise handles all cancellations - mobile and home - by phone or via web chat. Customer service will give you any additional information you need. 

At Sunrise, you should pay particular attention to the minimum contract durations. These must be adhered to. If you fail to do so, you may incur high penalties. You can find out how high these are and what else you need to watch out for here. 

Cancellation of a Sunrise cell phone subscription

The most important facts in brief: 

You can easily cancel a Sunrise subscription via the customer service hotline 0800 100 600 or alternatively via web chat. There, it will be explained to you how to proceed. Customer service is available by phone from Monday to Friday from 8 am to 7 pm and on Saturday from 9 am to 5 pm. The chat is open Monday to Friday from 8 am to 7 pm. 

This is what you must bear in mind when cancelling your contract with Sunrise

The cell phone subscriptions with Sunrise can only be cancelled after the minimum contract period has expired. At Sunrise, this is at least 12 months, but often 24 months. The notice period is 60 days. With a notice period of 60 days to the minimum contract period, a cell phone subscription from Sunrise can therefore be terminated at the earliest. As long as the cancellation period and minimum contract duration are adhered to, there are no additional costs for the cancellation. If you want to cancel before the expiration of the minimum contract period, you have to pay a penalty fee for the early cancellation of the contract. This can cost several hundred francs, because the basic fees for the remaining term will still be charged. If you cancel your subscription after the minimum contract period has expired without adhering to the regular cancellation period, you will have to pay the basic fees for the remaining two months plus a fee of CHF 100. For this reason, it is recommended to wait for the minimum contract period. 

This is what you should do when you change your subscription

You want to switch to a new provider and keep your number? Then you should not simply cancel your current subscription. If you do, you may lose your number. In most cases, you can simply give your number to the new provider and request a number transfer. In most cases, the new provider will then also take over the cancellation of your cell phone subscription with Sunrise, but the minimum contract period and notice periods must be observed here as well. Otherwise, you can ask customer service to convert the number to prepaid after the cancellation period.

Cancellation Sunrise Home Subscription 

Sunrise Home subscriptions include fixed network, Internet and TV. For these complex combination deals, there is a bit more to consider when canceling than with the cell phone subscription. Just as with the cell phone subscription, a notice period of 60 days applies and the cancellation is carried out by phone with Sunrise customer service 0800 100 600 or via web chat. 

Fees for Sunrise Home cancellation

No termination fees are incurred until the minimum contract period has expired. This is between 12 and 24 months in each case. In any other case, there are additional charges. For example, in the event of premature termination, the monthly recurring basic charges will be billed until the end of the minimum contract period. After the end of the minimum contract period, the cancellation period of two months must be observed. 

Return hardware after termination

After the termination of the contract, you must return the hardware to Sunrise, as they are only borrowed. This includes Internet and TV boxes, modem and router. If the hardware is not returned to Sunrise within 60 days after termination of the contract, a cancellation fee will be charged. For Wlan routers and TV boxes, this amounts to CHF 100, for the Sunrise Internet Box 5G, however, CHF 250.

What happens to your Sunrise Home subscription when you move house?

When you move, you must of course also take your Sunrise Home subscription with you. To do this, you must register your move online with Sunrise 14 days in advance. Here you have to enter

• the desired moving date
• your new address
• previous tenant's number
• if necessary, the number of your fiber optic outlet at the new place of residence.

You can keep your landline number, but you can also request a new one. The processing fee is CHF 79.
