Swisscom is renouncing to increase the prices of subscriptions for private customers until the end of 2024, its director Christoph Aeschlimann announced in the German-speaking press on Sunday. “We will analyze the situation over the next year and determine what will happen following 2024.”
The VAT increase planned for the beginning of 2024 will also not be passed on to private customers, adds Christoph Aeschlimann in an interview broadcast on Sunday by the SonntagsZeitung.
The price moratorium applies to current Blue Mobile offers, Internet, TV and fixed network subscriptions as well as all secondary and third-party brands and customers with universal service products, it adds.
Isolated adaptations
Individual adaptations, such as for additional services or television packages in the field of sport, are however possible, underlines the boss of Swisscom.
The new clause of the adapted general conditions, which allows the telephone operator to unilaterally adapt the prices due to the increase in prices, also only concerns customers with a minimum contractual duration.
According to Christoph Aeschlimann, inflation will lead to additional costs of 50 million francs for Swisscom in 2023. “The drivers of this increase are wages, energy prices and the purchase prices of terminals and materials”.
The operator had also announced last April to have modified its general conditions of sale, affirming that it now reserves the right to revise its prices “at any time according to inflation”.
