Aldi talk can be a good choice and I can recommend it.

But there is certainly a general issue with Swiss roaming charges. This applies to all users of German networks close to the Swiss boarder, not only to Aldi talk. As soon as your device picks up a Swiss network and switches to it, you'll pay 10-100 times as much for data. That's why normally, you'll need to release data roaming on your device, not to jump accidentially on a foreign network.

You can be sure to avoid this by disabling roaming or selecting manually your network by your device configuration. Unfortunately, thus, you will be disabling the domestic German Eplus/O2 3G roaming on many devices too.
