2 weeks in Switzerland - best option for GPRS and voice usage?

Oh yeah, and the hotel I'm staying in for part of the time has wireless Internet, but no mention of the cost on their web site. One hopes that means it is free but I fear otherwise.

If anyone with an orangeclick.ch SIM is reading -- can I add and remove the "International Option" and "Mobile Internet" options via the customer web interface, or do I have to add these when I get the SIM at an Orange store? And can I just get them for one month at a time? I won't need them when I'm not in .ch...

This is an old question that I lost... well, you can remove it when you prefer and usually you have a charge only for the day that you used (so if you paid 3 CHF for a month and use the option only for 15 days Oclick will refund 1.5 CHF on your balance)...

...any way today I'm a lucky customer: just logged in and... I get this promotion Try Mobile Internet (free for a month)

Thanks. Yes, I actually got an orangeclick.ch SIM when I went to Switzerland in September and October and I did this. They automatically pro-rate the add-on services for you when you remove them. (If I remember right, they remove the full monthly amount from your balance when you add the feature, but then refund the fraction of the amount if you remove it partway through a month.)

Overall the whole experience was very nice. The fellow at the Orange store at the Zürich airport even let me request the last four digits of the phone number so I could have them match my US number. Now I have a Swiss number I can use every time I visit -- I just have to "recharge" the account at least once a year.

Awesome indeed!!!

Does anyone know how long it takes for the SIM card to be delivered after the order through the web site? I'll arrive in Switzerland in a few days from now... if they take some days to deliver I'd like to order it in advance, but if it's next day delivery I'll order it when I get there!
