Hi, I have just spent 2 weeks in Switherland (august 2015). The first day, in GenevaI I purchased a Lycamobile card in press shop (many have it). It is sold for 5 CHF with 5 CHF credit, that I paid cash (well, in fact, I paid with a 5 EUR bank note because it was before changed money). I had to present the ID card to the shop keeper to activate the card, that he did in front of me, and 5 min later I left the shop with the card activated! He tried to sell me a bundle but I refused. I only wanted the card for data, so once outside, I activated the 500MB bundle (costing 3.25 CHF) by sending the code *139*95490# from the phone, and the data bundle was instantly activated. This was a quite enough for all my needs the following 10 das (that included, among other uses hotel searching and booking from the mobile, using google maps). I left the country with some MB and even some credit available. Network quality was excelent almost everywhere, not not just in big cities (we spent the 10 days traveling a lot all over the country). I'd like to have such a good coverage in Spain and France !

As a conclusion, I clearly recommend Lycamobile for data in Switherland. No need to spend more than 5 CHF (or 5 EUR). No need to enter your credit card anywhere (remember, I paid cash). I tried the SIM card in a 3G modem connected to the laptop, and it seemd to work flawlessly (just entering into firefox and opening a couple of pages), but it was just for curiosity, and except this short trial, I used the SIM all the time in the mobile.
