Help 18866's sister company 10787.ch

18866's sister company www.10787.ch which is for telephone users in Switzerland quotes their prices in "Rappen" per minute.

Anyone know what a Rappen is?

If it had been in Swiss Francs or even Euros, but a Rappen

Smartasss

100 rappen = 1 swiss franc

(Maybe better if this was in the travel board!)

A Swiss centime = see HERE.

Ha ha Smartasss (I did swither about which board to post it on)

To be honest I've been going to Switzerland for more than 20 years and never heard of a rappen, but Sergeant121 has posted I've always knows it as a centime.

Thanks guys you solved my problem.

"Rappen- a monetary unit of the German-speaking cantons of Switzerland and of Liechtenstein, equal to one hundredth of the Swiss franc."

It's the french speaking part of Switzerland I go to, I don't feel like such a fool now

I've seen sister companies - Telediscount, etc - in several other countries, but this is the first of those that is account based, rather than call-through.

I was wondering whether this access was available from other operators than landlines; maybe mobiles via an 0800 or equivalent. The first version of this post asked that, but I should have read their questions page first -

Nein, nur Festnetzrufnummern können bei 10787 angemeldet werden

Now you've shown this one, I want to find similar account based ones in other countries where 0800 or equiv calls are free. Perhaps I will start a new thread.

I think that is a great idea Andy, there are always people on here wanting to know how they can phone to UK using a cheap rate, especially our lucky users who live part time in Spain
