Warning ! This site is external to the EPFL. The EPFL is not responsible for its content, nor for keeping it up to date.

Since the EPFL is a important telephone customer, the use of third-party SMS payments is automatically blocked by our operator under the decree of the Federal Tribunal on the law against money laundering.

“Due to a new Federal Supreme Court ruling, invoicing of third-party purchases via the Swisscom invoice is subject to the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA). This includes the invoicing of value-added services such as telephone numbers 090x, SMS / MMS Business Numbers, Easypay and NATEL® Pay, both from the mobile network (Postpaid and Prepaid) and from the fixed network. All Swiss telecommunications service providers are affected. Following this Supreme Court judgment , Swisscom is obliged to generally block the use of value-added services via Swisscom commercial landline and mobile connections for large customers from June 29, 2020. “

You can call on our service to have your phone repaired by our supplier. However, if your phone is no longer under warranty all repair costs are your responsibility.

These procedures are intended for iPhones but they also work for iPads. Likewise, the procedures on Android devices should be equivalent.

If your mobile subscription does not include communications in the country where you are, you must activate data packs (called Data Travel) from the Swisscom Cockpit for the country of stay (this determines the geographical area).

  • The login is done with the mobile number
  • Activated packs are valid for 1 year (as long as there is consumption left) and for all countries in the same area

This mainly concerns the use of data abroad, it is not necessary to activate packs to make calls or to send messages.
