Swiss Air and Singapore Airlines connect Changi to Zurich. Set up your HelloRoam eSIM at home before departure and you land at Zurich Kloten already on local 5G for the SBB train into the city.
Zermatt and the Matterhorn: download offline maps for high altitude
Zermatt is a car-free resort below the Matterhorn. The town and Gornergrat area have good coverage. High altitude ski runs and the Monte Rosa glacier areas can have limited signal. Download offline Zermatt resort maps and your hotel details before boarding the Zermatt train from Täsch.
Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) app: excellent and needs data
Switzerland's SBB rail network is world-class in reliability and coverage. The SBB app and Google Maps handle Swiss train connections perfectly. Your HelloRoam eSIM keeps the SBB app running from Zurich Kloten Airport across the entire Swiss rail network.

On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
