If you leave your voicemail box activated abroad, unanswered incoming calls which are redirected to your voicemail box will be charged if you are in a country which is not included in your price plan or if the call volume included in your price plan is already consumed. You will see the charges both in the section «Calls received abroad» and in «Calls from abroad», as incoming calls are reaching your mobile phone abroad and then are redirected to your voicemail box in Switzerland.

In the «Calls passed from abroad» section, your own calls to your voicemail box are displayed with the number 418607XXXX (XXXX being your number).

Example of a subscription not including roaming calls in France:

If you want to avoid these charges, you can deactivate your voicemail box when travelling (see this page).

Value-added services

Value-added services numbers are used by companies to provide and charge services through a number. In Switzerland, value-added services are usually starting with 08 or 09 (numbers starting with 0800 are, however, free of charge).
Calls to these numbers are displayed on the bill in the «Value-added services» section.

Premium SMS

Premium SMS are a good method to pay specific services via your mobile phone. 
They are displayed in the «Premium SMS» section on your bill.

Exemple :

However, if you want to avoid costly misuses, you may want to block them. You can block premium and adult services by sending an SMS with BLOCK ALL to 5155. To block only adult services, send BLOCK ADULT to 5155.

Note : This only blocks the services billed via Salt. 

If you send BLOCK ALL, you will no longer be able to use your phone to pay for certain services (e.g. Selecta, parking tickets, etc.). These SMS are not sent by Salt, but by a service provider. You can use our short number search tool to find the name of the service provider in question.
