Just forget about the Mucho Mobile option I mentioned.

The really important part of the information was: Certainly a prepaid and not a subscription and no other ongoing costs.

Both the Swisscom network and the Sunrise network have good coverage for the vast majority of locations in Switzerland, so you rarely have to consider the question of which network a prepaid is on, unless you live in a really remote location.

I personally have absolutely nothing against Swisscom prepaids, of which I also have three.

From a purely administrative point of view, these have become a little complicated over time when opening new ones, which is why I am increasingly turning to alternative providers when opening new ones.

But simply as a conclusion:

The question of which prepaid is completely unimportant to the actual problem and primarily I would still rely on the very best solution, namely that Swisscom itself really “gets on its feet” and continues to offer a landline solution for customers even without an additional cell phone .

The fact that not every landline customer also has a cell phone has certainly not escaped Swisscom’s attention based on its own internal statistics, and I therefore see a certain obligation on Swisscom’s part to continue to provide its customers with access to their own data without their own additional cell phone Kundencenter to be granted.

Microsoft also offers F2A identification via landline or email.

Why shouldn’t that be possible for Swisscom?

If Swisscom continues to insist on SMS (which is not entirely certain) they would have to put together a special package with subscription/prepaid and Natel for F2A.

That would make sense.

Another special solution “from Swisscom, for Swisscom”? 😉

This issue with 2FA is too important, your entire reputation depends on it. I don’t think we should allow ourselves to experiment any further.

Broadly accepted solutions are needed.

Sooner or later it will no longer work without 2FA.

Apple has also had SMS registration for a long time, but you can ignore it, which is not necessarily recommended.

Thanks! Yes, exactly. And I would definitely add a small communication fee in case the landline breaks down. I was also thinking about something like the yellow card readers from Postfinance (they’re completely free). – Or landline/email.

There was nothing in the mail today either. And I received the same advertisement (with a picture from my cell phone) by email as the one I received in the mail on Saturday. But I actually receive email advertisements like this on a regular basis. I never unsubscribed in the hope that I would receive paper advertising less often.

2FA via landline would also work, just not via SMS, but the code would be “read out”

But we can argue back and forth for days, Swisscom does what it wants and what it thinks is right.

Whether the solution offered is practical and correct is another matter…

Why not? The more diverse the offers, the harder it is for hackers to get all of a person’s data. What’s the point of having people use a different password for each online shop if they’re then supposed to bring them all together again in one “password manager”?

Hi @Monique

What’s the point of having people use a different password for each online shop if they’re then supposed to bring them all together again in one “password manager”?

The password manager only protects you to a limited extent if your PC is taken over. But this also happens much less frequently than websites being hacked and data being stolen. Well-implemented password managers also encrypt all data, so that the password has to be captured using a keylogger. 2fa makes it even more difficult.

If you use the same password everywhere, all of your accounts are potentially compromised if even one of the websites you use is hacked.

Hence the recommendation to use different passwords everywhere. By the way, different passwords does not mean increasing the number at the end of your password by 1 😉.

But since no one can remember hundreds of passwords, they have to be saved somewhere. The disadvantage of paper is that it can be lost and a potential finder will then have access to all access data. That’s why it’s best to store them encrypted on your computer - in a password manager.

Thanks. There, too, you have to buy small packages every month, which are automatically extended until you cancel. I also remember disappointed customers on the Migipedia forum.

Are the mobile networks not connected to each other so that I can also identify myself from another network? There are also people who might want to log in from their vacation abroad. The reception is definitely good for me. I used to have to be careful about turning off roaming at home because the networks from France had much stronger broadcasts and so my cell phone was constantly being redirected.

Yes, but you can see that the site has been registered properly. For example, if I find out from suspicious internet addresses in unsolicited emails from Whois that the domain name was just bought a few hours ago in Panama, I become suspicious…😉.

Hi @Monique

However, as long as the code comes via SMS, it doesn’t matter which provider you choose. (Exception: It may be that the SMS cannot be delivered to foreign providers)

You will probably have to do this again.

Yes, but we are now digressing from the actual topic… Even today you have to be careful if you don’t have a roaming flat rate. However, you can set this in every cell phone so that it does not connect to a foreign network at all. But this doesn’t matter when receiving an SMS; reception is always free, even abroad.

That is still the case today.

But today it’s quite easy. Switch on “manual network selection” on your mobile phone and switch off roaming at the same time. And if you want, you can also set the roaming limits to 0 in the cockpit. Then you are on the safe side.
