In Geneva, I tried to purchase the OK-Card, but the single (!) K-Kiosk in Geneva (inside the COOP Hypermarché in Vernier, close to Geneva International Airport) sold the last one earlier that morning.

Instead, I bought the Lebara Pepaid Mobile packet for 14,95 CHF at Mobilezone, a cellphone shop also inside the COOP Hypermarché.

Inside the packet is a mini-SIM with 10 CHF credit. Also in the packet is a 10 CHF topping up card. When added, your total credit is 20 CHF (also stated on the package).

Lebara uses the SUNRISE network in Switzerland.

Lebara offers a dataplan of 120 MB for 30 days, for 4,90 CHF. Text SURF to 255 if you want this offer. The confirmation text message takes about 15 minutes to arrive. The dataplan must be confirmed before it is enabled.

Bear in mind that the data plan is autamatically renewed after your 30 days, UNLESS you text SURF STOP to 255. Rather than cancelling your subscription, your stop request will limit the data plan to the first 30 days only.

If you exceed the 240 MB, you will be charged 0,10 CHF/MB for the remaining period.

SUNRISE uses G3 and is pretty fast. One evening the network was down, but the data plan is not working in roaming mode (or outside Switzerland, for that matter). Next morning, SUNRISE was up again (a company name well chosen, indeed).
