- 0800 - free numbers - CHF 0
- 084x, 0878 - service numbers - according to provider
- 090x, 090x - premium numbers - according to provider

Costs may vary depending on the provider. We recommend that you check them in advance with the relevant provider. In most cases, a hotline number indicates that it is chargeable. For example, at Swiss Post:
