Description

Internet access free of charge from the app. SBB FreeSurf is available on all SBB long-distance trains (IC and IR). SBB FreeSurf is based on the excellent mobile phone coverage along the Swiss rail routes – passengers can benefit from a faster and smoother internet connection with more bandwidth than you get with conventional train Wi-Fi. Customers with a digitec, Quickline, Salt (Das Abo, GoMo, Lidl Connect are included), Sunrise or Swisscom mobile phone contract can surf the internet for free with die SBB FreeSurf app.
Passengers from abroad will be able to surf the internet for free with a SIM card (also eSIM) from a mobile phone provider participating in SBB FreeSurf. Trains with a free internet connection are marked with ‘FS’ (for FreeSurf) in the online timetable.
When boarding the train, the customers can open the SBB FreeSurf app. Automatic recognition takes place using a beacon. After registering successfully, the customers will receive an SMS text confirming that they can surf for free via their mobile phone provider. When alighting from the train or switching off the connection, you will receive a message stating that free internet access is no longer active. We only need customers to provide the mobile number to be used for registration.

What’s the point!

Stark78 on

Only any good if you’re Swiss. I’m here for two days and don’t want the hassle switching out my sims just to get dubious quality train mobile data. Should have a Wifi option like most other countries.

Racist crud…

…unless you’re Swiss. You can’t use it without a Swiss mobile number. So though I presumably paid the same train fare as everyone else on board, I was excluded from Wi-Fi access by this piece of racism by proxy. Pathetic.

Well below international standards

Awfully complicated if you don’t have a Swiss SIM card

Only lets you register with a Swiss mobile number

I tried to register with a UK mobile number (+44) and it wouldn’t allow me to type +44 only +41 which makes this a pretty pointless app for tourists who need it the most.

No Use to Me

I totally agree with the previous reviewer. I expect free Wi-Fi to be available on longer distance trains. In the UK this is available on virtually every all trains, long distance and local. Come on SBB, get your act together.

What about an iPad

Freesurf requiert un accès internet pour activer la connexion… hmmm what’s the point then ??!
