Our verdict
Digital Republic is a Swiss MVNO running on the Sunrise network, and it suits people who want unlimited domestic data on a low monthly fee rather than a wide plan choice. Flat Mobile One starts at CHF 13, and the same figure carries unlimited data in Switzerland. The trade-off is a single market.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Sim only is available, so the plan suits anyone bringing their own handset.
- 5G and eSIM are both offered on the same tariff.
- EU roaming is included rather than charged as an add on.
- A multi line discount applies, which helps families sharing numbers.
- On unlimited data the price of CHF 13 sits high in the ranking.
Cons
- Markets are CH, a single market, so the plan carries no coverage outside Switzerland.
- Contract lengths run 1 and 12, so the annual option asks for a longer commitment.
- Support runs on phone and help centre only, with chat and email not among the listed channels.
- As an MVNO, coverage rides on the host network Sunrise, so reach follows Sunrise rather than the brand.
Who it suits
- People in Switzerland who want unlimited domestic data on a rolling monthly plan.
- Travellers who mostly stay in the EU and the US, since EU roaming is included.
- Families or sharers who can use the multi line discount across several numbers.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs service in more than a single market.
- Buyers who want chat or email support, as phone and help centre lists neither.
- People who prefer an operator that owns its network over an MVNO on a host network.
Core features
Digital Republic sells sim only plans, so you bring your own handset and keep the freedom to change. 5G is offered, and eSIM comes on the same tariffs, which means no physical card is needed if your phone supports it. EU roaming is included rather than treated as a paid extra, and the included roaming reaches 45 countries. A multi line discount is also listed, so an extra number on the same account can cost less. The feature set is deliberately compact: eSIM, 5G and included roaming, with a host network underneath.
How it compares on our data
On price from, Digital Republic sits at 204 out of 258, which places the entry price in the lower part of the field rather than at the top. The picture is stronger on unlimited price, where it ranks 40 out of 173. That gap is the comparison that matters here: the entry figure sits mid field, but unlimited domestic data is priced near the better end of the market. For readers who weigh the cost of heavy use, the unlimited ranking carries more weight.
Plans and prices
Prices start at CHF 13, and the same figure is the unlimited price, so the cheapest plan already carries unlimited data in Switzerland. The structure is simple. Flat Mobile One is a rolling monthly option at CHF 13, with unlimited Swiss data and a smaller roaming allowance. The annual route is the alternative: Flat Mobile Three annual is billed as a yearly amount and adds a much larger roaming bundle. Contract lengths are listed as 1 and 12, so you can take the monthly plan or commit for a year.
The company behind it
The provider is Digital Republic AG, registered in Switzerland, and it operates as an MVNO, meaning the radio network belongs to a partner. The host network here is Sunrise, so coverage and speeds follow Sunrise rather than the brand. Customer service is reached through phone and help centre, which keeps the routes to a phone line and a help centre. The company works in a single market, so the operation focuses on that country's customers.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Digital Republic cost?+
Plans start at CHF 13, and that same figure is also the unlimited price, so the entry plan already includes unlimited domestic data. The annual option, Flat Mobile Three annual, is billed as a yearly amount and adds a larger roaming bundle.
Can I get an eSIM from Digital Republic?+
Yes, eSIM is offered alongside 5G on the same tariffs. Since the plans are sim only, an eSIM is often the only way to activate the service if you have no physical card and your handset supports it.
Does roaming cost extra when I travel?+
EU roaming is included rather than charged as an add on, and the included reach covers 45 countries. The rolling plan carries a smaller roaming allowance, while the annual plan bundles more data for travel.
Which network does Digital Republic use?+
The host network is Sunrise. As an MVNO, Digital Republic does not own towers, so coverage and speeds follow that partner. Buyers who prefer a provider that owns its network may look at a network seller instead.
Is there a contract or can I pay monthly?+
Both are offered, since billing runs rolling and contract. Contract lengths are listed as 1 and 12, covering a rolling monthly option and an annual commitment. The monthly route suits anyone who wants to leave without a long notice period.
Where can I use this plan?+
The service runs in a single market, CH. It is a Swiss provider, aimed at residents of that country. Anyone who needs service across several countries will find the coverage too narrow for their trips.
How do I contact Digital Republic?+
Support runs through phone and help centre. A phone line and a help centre cover the listed routes, so simple account questions can be handled either way. Chat and email are not among the listed channels.
Can I get more than one line?+
Yes, a multi line discount is offered, which lowers the cost of extra numbers on the same account. That suits families or anyone sharing a plan across several handsets without running separate contracts.
