When to call

Switzerland has one time zone, Central European Time. The cards below show your time and the time in Zurich.

Switzerland changes its clocks with the EU: back on 25 October 2026 and forward on 28 March 2027. The time difference can shift by an hour for a few weeks if your country changes on other dates.

Call quality

A browser call needs a steady connection more than a fast one, using roughly half a megabyte to one megabyte of data per minute (an estimate).

• Use Wi-Fi or a good mobile signal.
• Use headphones to avoid echo.
• Switch off a VPN if the audio is choppy or one-way.
• Check the microphone permission if the other person can't hear you.
