| Hi,
I currently live in France and my telephone / internet / tv deal offers me free calls to the UK and many other countries. Does this exist in Switzerland? I have seen the deals with Swisscom but I can not find anywhere that calls to the UK / France are free?
Also the package seems really expensive (CHF111) per month, although I understand it may just be because things are more expensive in Switzerland.
What I need is telephone where I can call anywhere / internet which I can use anytime / tv- just basic, we dont really watch much.
Any ideas or suggestions would be great, the same with mobile phone operators. I looked at Orange, but I heard their coverage is not so good. Leaving the alternative as the expensive Swisscom.
Let me know
Thanks

I'm not aware of any "international calls included" packages here. Swisscom does have a deal where you pay a monthly fee (around CHF 10.00, I think), then all international calls are half the usual rate. This always works out in my favour and I am a fairly light user of the phone.
The CHF 111.00 package to which you refer is Swisscom's "Casa Trio" premium package, combining phone line, highest speed internet (20MBits/s) and the full set of TV channels in multiple languages, along with a set top box with a hard disk recorder. If you don't want or need all that, pick and choose your components and it may cost less (although îf you want English language TV and don't want or have a satellite dish, or to get involved with Slingbox, then you'll need cable or Swisscom TV).

You might like to check cable suppliers' offerings, too. The supplier depends on where you plan to live.
