Rising prices, interest rates and inflation: 2023 was not a good year for the economy. Many people had to tighten their belts this year. Many providers have also increased prices for mobile phone subscriptions this year (see our news from June and July this year). And yet, the mobile phone subscription deals on Black Friday are just as good this year as they were last year.

November is traditionally the cheapest month for mobile phone subscriptions. This is because many of us wait for November to change our subscription. This has created a deflationary model that leads to the biggest discounts around Black Friday. What many people don’t realise: Black Friday starts in the telecoms industry on 1 November, with some providers already having the best deals of the year live from 01.11. 

Mobile phone subscription prices on Black Friday 2023 vs 2022 

Here you can find an overview of all roaming deals from the most popular Swiss providers. Despite the general price increase, the subscription prices on this Black Friday are on average just as good as in 2022. Providers such as Wingo, and Sunrise have better roaming offers this Black Friday than in 2022. At Salt, the prices are almost unchanged and Yallo has increased them slightly. 

Wingo

Wingo has discounted more roaming subscriptions this year, but the subscription with unlimited calls & data in Switzerland and no roaming is more expensive.

Salt – Best Black Friday Deals

Salt has raised prices slightly this year compared to 2022. 

Yallo – Best Black Friday Deals

Yallo is making a big splash in November. The famous Yallo Black subscription, which is only available around Black Friday, is slightly more expensive this year, but is available from alao for the first time.

Sunrise -Best Black Friday Deals

Sunrise has significantly reduced its prices this November. Instead of the Airpods, there is an extra shopping voucher this year.

Why are roaming offers particularly relevant for the Swiss?

In Switzerland, we have the special case that roaming is very expensive if it is not part of your subscription. You may have already fallen victim to such a roaming trap. Because it doesn’t even have to be a visit abroad, your network can easily switch to the foreign network even in border areas. On average, however, roaming is relatively cheap in Switzerland if it is included in your mobile phone subscription. It is particularly important that you know your own roaming usage behaviour so that you know how many GB you actually need and whether unlimited EU data is relevant for you.  

Why does alao always have the best offers?

As an independent partner of the most important Swiss providers, we can offer all national deals throughout the year. We also negotiate exclusive offers with the providers, which you can only get on alao.  On our comparison page you can easily get an overview and find the best subscription. Most subscriptions are only available on alao without an activation fee and with an extra shopping voucher or cashback. This means you can always find subscriptions at the best conditions at alao. 

Simple subscription change

Contrary to what many Swiss people believe, switching subscriptions is not difficult at all. With alao, you can take out your new subscription online in 5 minutes, we then take your old phone number with us and cancel your old contract – completely free of charge, of course. If you have any questions or problems with your new provider, our support team will take care of you.
