Problem is that none of these options are available to Natel Easy (i.e. Prepaid) customers. At least the GPRS roaming charges of CHF 14.-- / MB (in 30 kB increments of Rp. 42 ea.) are also valid for prepaid customers.

This comes to not quite 0.9¢/kB, which is not too bad as far as prepaid data roaming goes. Granted, nowhere near the old Wind prices, but in this day and age you have to be thankful for small favours

I recommend checking the balance carefully while using GPRS/UMTS packet data services when roaming, though -- it seems their billing system is ... uhm ... less than precise (to say the least).

Speaking of Swisscom -- seems they lowered voice call roaming charges for their prepaid customers in most european countries (from CHF 2 incoming / CHF 3 outgoing to CHF 1 incoming / CHF 2 outgoing) and some more coutries beyond (e.g. US/AU/NZ/TR: from CHF 3/5 to 3/2).

At least that's what their Website claims these days.

Regards,
Chris.

Not a so great problem since foreigner customers can have Swisscom postpaid contracts

I will stay in Switzerland on business for a few weeks and I am very much interested in "Natel Data Time". It sounds really attractive for me. (With Japanese SIM's I would have to pay for the mobile packet communications much more than airticket.)
While AndreA said "not so great a problem", is it really possible for a foreign people to have a subscription contract with Swisssom? (with some deposit etc.?)
Of course the duration of my stay is less than three months and probably I can not given any kind of residence permit.
