Is Switzerland in the Europe Zone (pay monthly)?

[Daniel76]

Hello,

I'm considering switching to O2 as I'm travelling a lot to Europe and want to find out if Switzerland is part of the Pay Monthly Europe Zone, i.e. would I be able to use 25GB of my data for free?

I found 3 links that contain that information. 2 say that it's included:

• https://www.o2.co.uk/international/using-your-phone-abroad - Country checker says it's included for Pay Monthly, but not for PAYG
• https://www.o2.co.uk/help/pay-monthly/using-your-phone-abroad - The Europe Zone "48 destinations" table includes Switzerland

And 1 says that it's not:

• https://www.o2.co.uk/help/pay-monthly/roaming-in-europe - Under "What European destinations are not included in our Europe Zone?" it says that Switzerland is not included.
  
  

I am not sure what to believe, can anyone confirm?
Thank you!

@Daniel76 

Yes, included for monthly contracts.

Switzerland has always been in the EU zone

But only for monthly contracts, not payg.

Thank you all!

Well Switzerland hasn't been moved out of the EU but yes, agreed not for PAYG but that's an O2 business decision

Tagging @Kei-M_O2 to ask for the misleading info on PayMonthly Roaming in Switzerland to be added to the list for correction, viz:

and Monaco

I guess if you can afford to go to Monaco, a few £ of roaming charges matter not. But yes, Monaco too, good catch @MI5 and for @Kei-M_O2 👍🏼

Thanks all,

Just to confirm Switzerland is included in our Europe Zone. We're looking to correct the page that states otherwise.
