The first 90 days of internet are free (meaning that 15 CHF will be all you have to pay to use internet for 2 weeks) after that you pay 2 CHF per day.

To be able to use it you have to register it. This is done by filling in the K Kiosk and letting them check it with your passport. I did this at 20:00 in the evening and my card was activated by 7:00 the next day.

This tariff obviously was revised by Ok-mobil (Talk Easy company): The SIM card now includes only 10 CHF and there is no special starting offer for internet usage any more. The total cost for a holiday traveller is now:
