Pros and cons
Pros
- The entry plan, Extra S, costs CHF 11.95 a month, and every reference plan carries no minimum term, so the advertised figure is the ongoing one.
- Unlimited data starts at CHF 24.95 on Extra L, and Swiss L carries unlimited data too, so a heavy user has somewhere to step up without leaving Coop Mobile.
- Sim only lines are sold, so anyone already holding a handset pays only the monthly fee.
- Unused data rolls into the next month, which matters most on a capped plan like Extra S.
- Support runs on phone, email and help centre, giving a phone route alongside written help.
Cons
- Germany is not among its markets (CH), so the tariff does not reach readers based outside Switzerland.
- Roaming in Europe is fair use, so use abroad is limited rather than open.
- A year-long term is not among its plan contract lengths (1 month), so there is no longer commitment to trade for a lower monthly figure.
- Coop Mobile is mvno on Swisscom, so the tariff is its own while the coverage decision belongs to the host.
Who it suits
- People living in CH who want a sim-only line on Swisscom and no long commitment.
- Readers whose data use swings from month to month, since unused allowance rolls forward.
- Shoppers who prefer a choice of billing, since it runs as rolling and prepaid.
Who should look elsewhere
- GETESA, for readers who want to buy from the network itself; it is listed as network where Coop Mobile is mvno.
- Lonestar Cell MTN, for the same reason, since it also sells as network and keeps network and bill under one roof.
Pricing
Coop Mobile sets its entry point at CHF 11.95 a month on Extra S, a plan with a capped data allowance. Every reference plan carries no minimum term, so the figure on the first bill is the figure on every later one: there is no introductory rate that steps up at renewal, and the line can be dropped a month at any time. The step up to unlimited data is the only real price move. Extra L costs CHF 24.95 a month, so leaving Extra S more than doubles the monthly spend and staying capped only pays if data use is light. Swiss L also carries unlimited data at a higher figure again, which buys the same data allowance, so the choice between the two unlimited plans turns on what else sits on the plan rather than on volume. Both prices are quoted in Swiss francs. A reader weighing Extra S or Extra L against a tariff priced in euros or dollars has to convert first, and the rate applied moves the gap between them either way.
What it does well
Three things stand out in the plan design, and all three are the kind that are easy to leave out. Sim only lines are sold, which suits a reader who already owns a handset and simply wants the tariff to run on it, so no device cost is folded into the monthly figure. 5G is available, so a current handset gets the faster access the network can offer rather than being held back. Data rollover means unused allowance carries into the next month instead of expiring, and on a capped plan such as Extra S that is the more valuable of the extras, since a light month accumulates rather than disappears. Together they suit a line used unevenly, month to month, rather than one that needs a fixed volume every time. None of the three is unusual alone; what counts is that they sit on a plan with no minimum term, so a reader can try a heavy month and step back without a long commitment.
Where it sits among rivals
On the entry price, Coop Mobile ranks 190 out of 258 brands compared, so it sits well down a long field of lower starting figures rather than at the front of it. On the unlimited price the placing is much better: 105 out of 173. Read the two together and the shape is clear. The entry price is not the reason to look here, and the unlimited price is. Both rankings run on price alone, so a plan that looks ordinary next to the lowest entry offers can still undercut comparable unlimited tariffs, and the gap between these two positions is the practical reason to price Extra L before shopping further afield. The two lists are also different sizes, so a brand can look strong on one measure and unremarkable on the other.

Frequently asked questions
How much is the cheapest Coop Mobile plan?+
Extra S is the entry plan at CHF 11.95 a month and it comes with a capped data allowance. Every plan in the reference list carries no minimum term, so the price you start on is the price you keep paying, with no introductory rate that steps up after a first few months.
What does unlimited data cost?+
Extra L gives unlimited data at CHF 24.95 a month, and Swiss L also carries unlimited data for more again. Moving from the entry plan to Extra L more than doubles the monthly spend, which is easy to justify for a heavy user and hard to justify for a light one.
Can I use a phone I already own?+
Sim only lines are sold, so a handset you have already bought can run the tariff and no device cost sits inside the monthly figure. Billing runs as rolling and prepaid, and the plans are sold in Switzerland, so this suits a reader at home with their own kit rather than anyone shopping for a new device.
Which network does Coop Mobile run on?+
It runs on Swisscom and 5G is available. Coop Mobile is listed as mvno, so the tariff is its own while coverage and access come from the host. Speeds therefore follow Swisscom rather than a network built for the operator alone.
Where does the tariff work and can I use it abroad?+
Plans are sold in Switzerland, so this is a domestic option and it does not travel with you. Roaming in Europe is fair use, which means use abroad is allowed within limits rather than openly, so a frequent traveller should treat the tariff as a home-market deal and budget roaming separately.
How long is the contract?+
Plans run for 1 month and every reference plan carries no minimum term, so there is no long commitment to sign and nothing to serve if you change your mind. Billing runs as rolling and prepaid, which gives a choice between a rolling tariff and a prepaid one for the same figures.
Do I lose data I do not use?+
Data rollover is included, so unused allowance carries into the next month instead of expiring. That earns its keep on Extra S at CHF 11.95, where the allowance is capped and a quiet month would otherwise be wasted. On Extra L at CHF 24.95 the cap does not bite in the same way.
How do I reach Coop Mobile for help?+
Support runs on phone, email and help centre, so a query can go by more than one route rather than a single inbox. Because the service is sold on Swisscom by a mvno, a network problem sits with the host while billing questions stay with Coop Mobile.
