Hello folks
I will soon have my first apartment of my own and am thinking about buying the m budget mini. What are your experiences with the customer service and in general?
I already have m budget mobile and am actually very happy with it.
Hello pogonox
You're absolutely right about wiilma. But the budget mini subscription also includes wifi and without an internet connection you can't watch TV, or can you also watch TV on your TV with a cell phone subscription? Lg
@Regenwolke: zattoo.com also works with mobile:https://zattoo.com/ch/zattoo-free/

I currently have 2Mbit/s (Swisscom Casa) and that's just enough for TV via zattoo.com . My MacBook keeps generating a little message that this website (with zattoo.com in it) is slowing down the computer and that closing this window would improve my Mac's responsiveness, but the thing that slows down Zattoo in the first place is all the ads. Incidentally, three days ago they launched a completely new layout for Zattoo via the Internet (you can now switch off Google Analytics, choose whether you want selected advertising or general advertising...). And Zattoo is a good addition to M Budget Mini in that it has more channels (some of them are paid, but M Budget probably does too).
Assuming that Swisscom takes my "Casa" out of the range, I would switch to M Budget Mini. So thank you very much for this thread!
hi raincloud
the cell phone subscription only provides the transport connection in this sense, what goes through afterwards and how does not play a major role
*** ATTENTION ***
the m budget MINI has ONLY 600MB per month, after that it costs extra. Now it depends on your TV behavior whether this is enough and what else you do. please pay attention...
you now have several options:
- it is a smart TV with WLAN, then activate tethering (WLAN hotspot) (best)
- connect an android TV box connected to the TV to the internet via WLAN hotspot (very good solution, box costs between 50 and 100 euros)
- connect your cell phone directly to the TV (depends on the cell phone) (least recommended)
if you want to watch on your PC, buy a WLAN stick (5.-), if it is a laptop it already has wifi. then load the program and watch - be careful, the data consumption can be massive due to the PC...
Where can I find the current data consumption? There are lots of threads on the Swisscom forum for cell phones, but I can't find anything about computers. On my former PC I could look it up in the system, but on my MacBook I don't know what to do.
In my customer login it says :
"Some services and subscriptions include "inclusive units" (e.g. number of calls or SMS).
You have not subscribed to any services or subscriptions with inclusive units for this phone number.
Important: Unlimited inclusive units are not shown."
I find a restriction bad in that you can't simply hide unwanted advertising and e-mails. Incidentally, I don't find this restriction at all on

Hello everyone
Thank you very much for all the input. But I expressed myself incorrectly ;-)
I have a Kombi mini subscription for the "classic TV" in the living room and Internet access for the computer.
I use Wiilma on my tablet or cell phone. The cell phone subscription is now also a budget subscription, you can combine the two and then get a download data credit of 1 GBT for the cell phone subscription (@progonox)
I wanted to ask my question like this: with a pure cell phone Internet subscription (without any other InternetBox) there is no possibility to watch TV on the "classic TV", since the (older?) "classic TV" has no Internet access, or am I completely wrong? ;-)
@Cinderella1925
You can find the current data consumption for the Budget cell phone subscription under "My account", where your billing and address details are also located.

no, you're right - the "classic TV" typically has HDMI, antenna (coax) and SCART/composite (gag) as input.
Either it is fed from a digital source via HDMI or you use the internal TV tuner which draws the signal via the coax.
in the case of HDMI, the source can be anything that has an HDMI output - DVD player or set-top box.
in the case of coax/antenna, nothing additional is required.
your tv has an HDMI input, right? the socket looks like this, just the silver part at the front of the tv
I hope this helps you :)
@pinoxo
Thanks for the helpful information. I run the classic TV via the setbox from mbudget Kombi mini Abo and everything works fine. I just wasn't sure if my knowledge was still correct because you were talking about the App TV ;-)
@Traberli
No, my TV isn't that old either, it's "only" 7 years old :-) I just wasn't sure whether today's TVs are already Internet-enabled (without setboxes).
Thank you very much @Regenwolke. I don't own a cell phone at all.
I had understood that the sentence from @pogonox
"the m budget MINI has ONLY 600MB per month, after that it costs extra. Now it depends on your TV behavior whether this is enough and what else you do. please pay attention..."
The original question concerns the MBudget Mini in connection with a first new apartment.
The subscription with limited data volume is this one :

Since you wroteabouta remote control inthis post, I thought it was about the KombiMini. You've now also written that you have it.
I'm afraid living with just a cell phone will be very expensive (like if you only stayed in hotels instead of living in an apartment). There are still too many things you can't do with a cell phone, even if it's just editing your posts here in the forum...
zattoo.com is free as long as you are prepared to put up with the advertising. If you pay, you get more functions.
I'm not happy with MBudget at all. I can't adjust anything for my elderly mother there. The hotline is terribly dismissive when I call.
