Entry in the telephone book

Would you like people to be able to look you up in the public phone book? An entry in the official local.ch directory ensures your phone number and address are listed in both the printed and electronic phone book. You can register your number and address online(opens in new tab) and edit or add to the listing at any time (e.g. when you change address, get married, have children etc.). 

Deactivate address updating in My Swisscom to prevent your address being passed on to third parties.
