Important Roaming Notes & Tips
DANGER: Switzerland is NOT in the EU/EEA despite being surrounded by EU countries. Roaming charges WILL apply. This is the #1 roaming trap in Europe — a single day of casual phone use can cost €50+.
Some EU operators include Switzerland as a paid add-on. Swisscom offers tourist eSIMs. Always verify before crossing the border, especially on transit drives through Switzerland.
