Question about Google Pixel 7 Pro
I currently have a Google Pixel 2 and would like to switch to the new Google Pixel 7 Pro. The following question: 1. is the sim card compatible? I also currently have a prepaid subscription with Swisscom, but would like to get a new subscription offer for the new mobile phone, e.g. the "Digital Republic" offer (SIM card Unlimited Internet for 365 days, Medium Speed for CHF 162.15). Questions: 2. is it possible to port my current mobile number? 3. how should I proceed? 4. last week I received a special offer for a monthly subscription: for 20.- instead of 49.- valid for 24 months - has this offer already expired? Thanks for the help :-)
I went to see the offers on "Digital Republic", look as well at the maximum speeds promised, because all the offers except the Flat 2000 have limits of debits in Download and Upload which is a bit of a shame with a smartphone like the Pixel 7 Pro (after all, for me, stability and network availability are more important than the maximum speed).
If you compare with Wingo there is no limit in 4G / LTE (about 250 Mb/s max) and not in 5G either (about 2 Gb/s... very theoretical maximum)
- Fair flat at 25 CHF/month: https://www.wingo.ch/fr...
- 5G option at 5 CHF/month: https://www.wingo.ch/fr...
and you stay on the Swisscom network (but note that there is still a CHF 49 activation fee).
1. The SIM card format for a Pixel 2 is nano SIM. This is exactly the same format for the Pixel 7 Pro. So your card is compatible. Note that the Pixel 7 Pro also supports eSIM, which is a card that can be downloaded to the phone.
2. I don't know Digital Republic, but it's a virtual operator that uses the Sunrise network. To have tested on the Coast in urban area the network of Sunrise in 5G (but bcp of 4G) and that of Swisscom (offer 5G) with two Pixel 6 Pro with each one its SIM card i ly approximately 1 year, the network of Sunrise is a catastrophe. In some places the speeds are very good on the 2 networks, but the Sunrise network lacks stability and the speeds collapse quickly in other places (upload at 0.5 Mb/s is not good at all!), whereas Swisscom's network has few white zones and a much more stable speed in general. And in the mountains the difference is even more marked. I also tested Wingo, which is the "low cost" subsidiary of Swisscom.But there are always promotions and it is possible for about 30 CHF/month (25 CHF a Wingo Swiss + 5 CHF with 5G promo at half price) to have unlimited voice and telephony in Switzerland. And yes, it is possible to keep your number when switching from one operator to another.
3. The number porting is very simple, you don't have to cancel your previous subscription. When you sign up for a new one, you tell the new operator that you want to port the number and you give them a power of attorney indicating that you want to port the number when the contract expires. With a prepaid subscription this is usually possible immediately without any costs, but you will lose the remaining credit on your SIM card.
4. No idea, I don't work for an operator. But the vast majority of operators are willing to make concessions to acquire a customer (but rewarding loyal customers is not their thing). The easiest way is to contact them.
