Check the APN settings to see if there is a proxy entry. Settings > "Advanced Settings" / "Network & Internet" > "Mobile Networks" > "Access Points (APNs)"
Make sure the fields for "Proxy", "Port", "Username", "Password", etc., are left blank. If they are not empty and you cannot edit the fields, create a new access point (APN) under a different name with gprs.swisscom.ch as the APN and activate it.
