• SR 784.101.113/1.4 Interfaces of the telecommunications networks

  The telecommunications market has many suppliers offering products not only based on traditional technologies but also on innovative technologies and applications. National and international measures have been prepared to support the widest possible range of terminals.
  
  Many of these measures have been implemented in Switzerland due to its economic relevance and as far as possible to harmonize Swiss rules with the EU legal framework. One of the goals of these measures is to ensure advance announcement and publication of technical specifications of the interfaces used to offer telecommunications services. These specifications shall be in sufficient detail to permit the design of telecommunications terminal equipment capable of utilizing all services provided through the corresponding interface.
  
  These technical and administrative requirements regulate the details of the Swiss application of above-mentioned measures; they cover the announcement and the publication of the interfaces used to access Swiss public telecommunications networks.

• SR 784.101.112/1.7 Calling-line identification

  This document sets out the requirements for telecommunications service providers on transmitting the calling line number.

  New requirement in the fourth edition (applies to landline numbers from 1 January 2026 and mobile numbers from 1 July 2026):

  Transit providers must insert an indicator to mark incoming calls from abroad containing a Swiss telephone number. The identification must also give the name of the transit provider that has carried out the identification. If the call cannot be identified on technical grounds, the transit provider must remove the caller number (requirement 2, chapter 5).

  This enables the terminating provider to better recognise calls with spoofed numbers and, in accordance with Article 26a paragraph 6 OTS, to remove the number of the calling line for the line being called or to block the call entirely.
