Salt’s Home Internet is by far the worst I’ve ever used. The connection constantly drops, and the speed is nowhere near what they advertise. Streaming, video calls, or even browsing are nearly impossible during peak hours. I contacted support multiple times, but they were unhelpful and often blamed my devices instead of fixing the issue. The router they provided is cheap and unreliable. I regret switching to Salt and will cancel my subscription as soon as possible. Definitely not recommended if you rely on stable internet

My experiment using SALT FOR THE FIRST TIME

Before I bought salt, I researched and did findings . Yesterday I bought Satl S60 ProThe features on the phone absolutely meets my criteria and my work . The phone is awesome. I love the heavy-duty style and glass at the back. I hope most people can stop comparing phones and start to experimenting..the features has integrated with the current technology which makes life so simple and convenient using The Salt.

Salt you did your part in the phone and communication Develpment. I wish to be an ambassador for Salt.

Bad customer service

I have received a confirmation that my subscription has been changed yet the old subscription is still valid. I have been waiting on the line for ages and nobody knows how to help. Call back service means they cancel the call if you don't pick up in 5 seconds. Truly bad customer service.

Slow provider of fast internet

Slow provider of fast internet.
The salt was extreamly late in delivering my internet connection after 10 days from contract start the internet does not work. When the contract was signed i was ensured about seamless transition to salt with faster internet. It is not seamless nor faster.
I do not recommend salt

I went on holidays in Switzerland and bought a salt SIM card for me and my partner for a month.
Salt tried to charge us the next month and I’m still fighting with them as they add 30chf every 15 days to the invoice.
Worst business don’t use them. :(

Hello Jerome, thank you for your review. I am sorry that you had a negative experience with us during your stay in Switzerland. Even contracts with a minimum contract period of one month have a notice period of 30 days, so the cancellation for these contracts must also be requested ion time to avoid unwanted charges. Your request is being processed by the relevant department and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Kind regards, Sarah

I am truly shocked by the dishonesty of this company. They offer you a new subscription and tell you it’s fine to sign up early, assuring you that you won’t have to pay anything extra. This is a lie—you end up paying for both! Additionally, they offer you these speakers, which you are also charged for, even though they claim "it's a gift". This time, they even offer you two. Now, if you want to cancel all of these lies, you, of course, have to pay! Furthermore, the mobile connection is really not great! LOOK FOR ANOTHER MOBILE PROVIDER!
At least, the lady in the call center was very patient in explaining my options and what we could do (she deserves 5 stars for this). This is the only reason I am not giving only 1 star.

Hello Vanessa, thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear that you are so dissatisfied with our services. The satisfaction of our customers is important to us and that is why we try very hard to offer the best possible quality. When accessories are purchased with a contract, they are part of a complete package about which the customer is informed. The monthly final price corresponds to what was agreed. Please send me your number and the request described here via email to socialmedia@salt.ch and we will check it together. Kind regards, Sarah

Scam

They will prolong your contract without asking and lie about the fees. I subscribed to a 24.99 CHF/month plan with an additional payment of 40 CHF/month for the mobile phone for 2 years. However, in my contract the fees are simply listed as the total amount – 64.99 CHF. After the 2 year contract expired, no notice was given and they kept charging me 64.99 CHF for 3 months (due to a 2-month contract termination rule) and charged me 50 additional francs to suspend the contract

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We regret your dissatisfaction, but there must be a misunderstanding here. The contract lists the original subscription price and the price of the device with the monthly instalment. If you then benefit from a promotional discount, this is also listed in the contract but it applies only to the subscription price, not to the device instalment. In most cases, the discount is valid for the duration of the contract, e.g. 24 months. If you cancel the contract on time, observing the notice period, you are entitled to the discount until the end of the contract period. If the contract is not renewed or cancelled in time, it will automatically be extended by 30 days and the 60-day cancellation period will continue to apply. In this case, the entitlement to the discount will expire from the original end of the contract. This is part of the agreed terms. I hope that this information was helpful in better understanding the situation. Greetings, Sarah

Salt consciously misleads its long-term customers. I have been a loyal customer for over 8 years, with two mobile phones and Salt Home.
Recently, I was offered the Europe XXL plan over the phone for CHF 79/month, supposedly just CHF 1 more than my current plan. However, when I checked online, the exact same plan was clearly listed at CHF 50/month. Naturally, I chose the online offer instead.

Frankly, I should have cancelled everything right then. It is deeply disrespectful to approach loyal clients with worse deals than those publicly available. This kind of practice damages trust and reflects poorly on your brand.

Hello Bianca, thank you for your review. I regret to read about your negative experience. Is the first offer at the higher price without a device? In general, no or only a small discount can be offered on offers with a device, as you already benefit from a reduction on the device prices through your contract with Salt. Please send me the request described here and your number by email to socialmedia@salt.ch and we will check the situation together. I am sure we will find a suitable and satisfactory offer. In the meantime, I wish you a good start into the new week. Kind regards, Sarah

Was looking for a sim for internet as a tourist but been sold a contract for a year without telling that its a contract

I am tourist in switzerland and I was looking for a sim to use internet then a guy in a shop in Geneva sold me this sim without telling me about any contract. Guess what the contract is for One year which i got to know myself later when i logged in to their app after realising i have been trapped in a big SCAM. The hell they do how can they do contract with a tourist without actually telling clearly about the contract and its for a year really ? I clearly told him i am travelling to europe and just want a sim for internet connection for a week. There is no option in app to see what was the contract or any email recived about the terms and conditions. The guy just asked to sign for activation and i did, never thought of a contract and I gues never in my life i have heard of getting a contract sim ? WTF. I emailed them, called them no one is willing to really help.

Unprofessional and could not care less

After being a Salt Fiber customer for many years and paying the company several thousand francs I decided to switch to a cheaper provider providing the same service. My Internet service from Salt was supposed to end on the last day of January at midnight. Guess what: already at 14:00 Internet stopped working and when I called support they said "sorry, we cannot do anything because this was done by our subcontractor but you will be compensated". So I basically paid for the service but Salt did not deliver (and my new contract was only starting the next day, which caused me some trouble). Needless to say that no compensation was provided and Salt Fiber support later claimed in an email that "The deactivation was carried out as scheduled on 31.01.2025 at 23:59.", which was clearly not the case and was also confirmed by their own support on that deactivation day. Thus, Salt behaved unprofessionally on both counts: disconnecting the service incorrectly and also not honouring own promise of compensation. Further they demonstrated they don't care to have me as a customer. Will never be back and advise others to switch to lower-priced offers.

Hello Alexander, thank you for your review. I'm sorry you had a negative experience. The time for the deactivating of the services can vary, as it can when activating them, and we have no direct influence over this. Our customers' satisfaction is important to us and we work hard to offer our customers the best possible experience. We are grateful for any feedback that helps us to improve, and we nevertheless hope to welcome you as a Salt customer again one day. Kind regards, Sarah

Don’t use Salt

Don’t use Salt. Really. It’s very shitty and slow and the internet crashed so so often. Don’t use it! At all cost! I have a 80 CHF subscription and it’s very shitty. Even shittier than Wingo that costs like 30 CHF per month!

I called the Hotline some time and they answered very rudely. Really really rude. And they made me pay 130 CHF more for what I already paid, saying the payment is not saved on their system. Not only the hotline service is rude but also if you go to their stores. Their expressions and attitude are so mean and not friendly at all

Also. I would not recommend Salt at all.

Terrible customer support

Terrible customer support, contract prices have gone up, tried to get an explanation and all they did was get angry/frustrated with my questions and ended up hanging up on me without me being able to get my message through . I will definitely not be renewing my contract with them .

Never buy a phone from Salt

Never buy a phone from Salt. They neglect to provide any warranty if it gets broken. They send it to some whoever repair center, and these guys they always turn it down if they see a single small scratch on the phone. They blame you and they say that you broke the phone and not entitled to get any warranty. They dont send the phone to the official repair center like Samsung or Apple and they scam you with the warranty. So you can spend 1700sft for a phone and if you get a deadpixel, for them you are responsible of it.

Also, I have total unlimited 5g data plan in Switzerland and now they are lowering the speed because I used too much data (only 3GB this month). The phone was downloading at 5G and now all of the sudden the connection dropped to 4g. Salt should not operate anymore in Switzerland, they start to do things of third world countries.

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We regret your dissatisfaction. Nevertheless, we would like to clarify the following: the authorised service centre works according to the manufacturer's specifications. As soon as the authorised service centre detects mechanical damage, the warranty claims can no longer be asserted. This also means that the warranty is no longer valid. Malfunctions and faults in the device may be the result of an earlier fall or impact. Since this is not a product defect, but an external force, the product warranty is void and the repair is therefore subject to a charge.Our customer service team will be happy to provide you with all the information you need. It should also be mentioned that we do not reduce speed in Switzerland. If you do experience any issues, our customer service team will be at your disposal also for this topic. Greetings, Sarah

Horrible customer service

Horrible customer service. Simple case - try to exercise my right for 14 days withdrawal for the contract, if it was signed through Salt call service sales. Salt is ignoring the request, telling me all possible reasons why it is not possible even though it is written on their contract itself. Once you are in, they will do all possible, legal and not things to keep you in. Watch out. Swisscom is so much more customer-friendly, even if a bit more expensive. Next time i rather pay a bit extra but save my time, nerves, stress..

UPDATE 13 March: following the reaction from Salt Social media services, i have sent them an email with all the "tickets" estabslihed with their customer service since 12 February (for which i still have not heard any reply from the customer service). I will keep here updates on further developments.

Reply from Salt Mobile

Hello, I'm sorry to hear how dissatisfied you are. The 14-day right of withdrawal mentioned in the contract only applies to door-to-door sales. This means contracts that were concluded after Salt approached the customer. However, this does not apply to contracts concluded by telephone or even verbally, in which the customer approached Salt. Please send me the request described here and the contract information via email to socialmedia@salt.ch and we will be glad to review the situation together. Greetings, Sarah
