How can I get the cheapest Mobile subscription for children and young people?
If someone in your household already has a blue Mobile or Internet subscription, you will receive an ongoing 50% “We are Family!” Discount on your blue Kids subscriptions. You are thus guaranteed the cheapest Mobile subscription for your child.
Remember that a household without an Internet subscription must always have a blue Mobile subscription in first place in “My Household” in My Swisscom in order for a Kids subscription to receive the 50% «We are Family!» Discount. No more than 3 blue Kids subscriptions per household can take advantage of the “We are Family!” Discount.
The new «We are Family!» Discount replaces the previous Kids Discount of 5.–/mo. If you switch to a new blue Kids subscription, the previous Kids Discount will no longer apply. Add the new Kids subscription into “My Household” in My Swisscom in order to take advantage of the new discount.

With Swisscom’s mobile subscriptions for children and young people, you benefit from parental control functions and many other free additional services.

Why are there limits to surfing speeds for Kids Mobile subscriptions?
The surfing speeds and data volumes included in the blue Kids Mobile subscriptions are more than adequate for normal usage. Children and young people generally use their smartwatches and smartphones on WLAN. Daily screen time should be controlled on an individual basis and should not exceed several hours per day over a longer period.
With 8 GB of mobile data, your child can:
- Watch around 16 hours of YouTube videos in very high quality (720px). With apps such as the blue TV app, you can download series and films via WLAN and watch offline to save data.
- Spend approx. 48 hours on Instagram.
- Spend approx. 26 hours on TikTok.
- Make approx. 24 hours of WhatsApp video calls.
- Listen to approx. 160 hours of music (on Spotify for example). Downloading the music onto your device via WLAN is even better.
- By comparison, apps such as the SBB app, calendar or weather apps use very little data.
What options and packages are available with Swisscom’s blue Kids Mobile subscriptions?
The blue Kids Mobile and blue Kids Watch subscriptions include the Roaming Safety Pack for use abroad. This has inclusive worldwide allowances.
Worldwide roaming per month:
- 30 minutes of calls
- 30 SMS
- 300 MB data
This means that your child is contactable by phone in an emergency even when abroad. Please note, however, that your child should avoid video streaming, gaming and video calls so as not to use up the included data volume too soon.
If you use up the included allowance, additional data packages can be purchased in the Swisscom Cockpit.
