When it comes to living with your family or in a shared flat, there are lots of decisions to make and things to organise. Follow these tips for harmonious community living.
1. Good Internet in every room
Is your flatmate passionate about gaming? Do you work from home? Is the TV always on in the living room? If so, you’ll need a good Internet connection. Make sure you have the right Internet speed. If the WLAN is too weak, an additional WLAN-Box can help. Click here for info on how many WLAN extenders you need for your home and what you need to look out for when positioning them.
2. Combine subscriptions and save
If you share your Internet subscription with your flatmates, they all pay less for their blue Mobile subscription. You receive a monthly discount of 20.– for the first mobile subscription and 30.– for each additional mobile subscription (max. five mobile subscriptions per household). To benefit from the blue Benefit package discount, you need to add the numbers in My Swisscom.
3. blue TV on multiple devices
Do you all like different TV programmes? With blue TV, you can watch on up to five TVs and five mobile devices such as mobile phones, tablets or laptops. And there’s no fighting over the remote control.
4. Headphones for more peaceful living
Whether you’re meeting online, listening to music or watching Netflix, headphones prevent arguments and stress at home. Thanks to Bluetooth, they’re also wireless – so you can dance around your room without disturbing the others.
5. Smart household assistants
Digital cleaning schedules like flatastic or hubble don’t always work. The robot vacuum is easy to control from anywhere for automatic cleaning. A video doorbell or an AirTag for your key ring can also make your life easier.
6. Keep finances under control
The Flatastic, Splitwise or FlatUp! apps help you to keep track of and pay all your bills. Everyone can see the info on their mobile phone. These apps can also be used for shopping lists, cleaning rotas and calendars.
