Openline pairs cleanly with a Sunrise (Switzerland) primary line. Your Sunrise (Switzerland) SIM (physical or eSIM) keeps handling your personal calls, SMS, and 2FA; Openline handles cellular data at travel prices.
How to set it up
- Install Openline as a second eSIM. Do not remove your Sunrise (Switzerland) line.
- Once both lines are visible, set Cellular Data to Openline for the country you're travelling in.
- Keep Default Voice Line on your Sunrise (Switzerland) line so calls to your regular number still reach you.
- Turn Data Roaming off on the Sunrise (Switzerland) line so it never accidentally picks up expensive roaming.
- Turn Data Roaming on on the Openline line — that's required for travel eSIMs by design (Openline isn't charged as roaming to you).
Notes for Sunrise (Switzerland) customers
- Wi-Fi calling on your Sunrise (Switzerland) line keeps working while Openline runs — a helpful failsafe when a hotel Wi-Fi is decent but a partner cell isn't.
- If you have Sunrise (Switzerland)'s built-in international roaming plan, disable it before your trip or you'll double-pay: Openline will handle data, and your Sunrise (Switzerland) plan will still bill you for it if left on.
- Sunrise (Switzerland) may occasionally push a "Welcome abroad" SMS. Ignore it — it's informational, not a bill unless you actually use their roaming.
