Useful information about the moneyland.ch data roaming calculator:
- The comprehensive data roaming calculator on moneyland.ch makes it easy to find data roaming bundles for any travel destination. It also lets you view the standard fees charged for data roaming in that country.
- Data roaming bundles normally expire after one year. When a bundle has a different validity period, this appears alongside the bundle in the results. When shorter validity periods apply, data is normally unlimited. But the Internet speed is throttled after you use a certain amount of data.
- Standard fees are automatically applied by mobile service providers when you use data roaming without either getting a data roaming bundle, or having a data roaming allowance included in your mobile plan. Standard fees are usually very expensive, so using roaming at standard rates is not recommended. Many service providers (including Swisscom) no longer use standard fees at all, and therefore do not appear in results.
- Depending on the service provider and country, the costs shown in results can be extremely high. In practice, service providers often disable roaming before the costs become exorbitant. But typically, cumulative roaming charges of up to 500 francs are possible.
- The interactive mobile plan comparison on moneyland.ch also accounts for data roaming costs in comparisons. It uses the most favorable data roaming bundle available for each mobile plan or prepaid offer matching the chose profile for cost calculations.
- moneyland.ch uses decimal prefixes for per-gigabyte pricing results, with one gigabyte equating one billion bytes. Many service providers define a gigabyte using binary prefixes, with one gigabyte equating 1024 megabytes.
