M-Budget Mobile Roaming alles andere als "Budget"

When will M-Budget Mobile adjust its outdated roaming tariffs?

All the more so as the parent company of Wingo (= service provider for M-Budget Mobile), namely Swisscom, significantly reduced its roaming tariffs in spring 2018. The other major CH providers have also significantly reduced their roaming packages.

Only M-Budget/Wingo have remained at the tariffs that were already rather expensive in 2017.
These roaming tariffs are now pretty much at odds with the landscape....anything but "budget" suitable....

Hello @easthouse

Thank you for contacting us.

I have forwarded your message to our colleagues at M-Budget Mobile, who got back to you and are convinced that our prices are comparable to those of our competitors (e.g. ABO, Yallo, Lebara Mobile, CoopMobile).

Of course, we are constantly reviewing our offer.

We will communicate any adjustments at the appropriate time.

Have a nice day

I expected such a "marketing designed" answer....

the roaming tariffs of the alternative mentioned are mostly homeopathically cheaper, those of the "big" 3 are sometimes only half as expensive.
Presumably the "mother" Swisscom is putting the brakes on too rapid a reduction in the roaming prices of Wingo/M-Budget....otherwise even more customers would migrate there ;)

Well, wait and see, greetings from easthouse

Migros announced today that the roaming data packages for the two subscriptions M-Budget Mini and M-Budget Maxi will be cheaper with immediate effect.

- In the EU/Western Europe, 100 MB now costs CHF 5.90 instead of 7.50 and 500 MB now costs CHF 14.90 instead of 22.50.
- In the "World 1" zone, 100 MB now costs CHF 8.90 instead of 12.50 and 500 MB now costs CHF 24.90 instead of 37.50.
- In the "World 2" zone, 100 MB now costs CHF 18.90 instead of 27.50. 100 MB for the "Rest of the world" remains almost the same at CHF 68.90 instead of 69.50.

Mentioned in passing:
I have since switched to Wingo. It now includes 1GB of roaming in Europe every month. And if, like me, you only need 1GB, it's cheaper than the M-Budget Maxi. And if you exceptionally need significantly more than 2GB, the costs are more manageable than with Maxi.
