Can't speak for orangeclick.ch.
When I had prepaid German T-MO cards > 3 years ago, it was an add-on that the user had to initiate AND, if I recall properly, I believe there was a USAGE charge to receive email unlike a free inbound SMS.
I am fairly certain such cards as UNITED MOBILE, HOP, TRAVELSIM do not have email-addressable cards. As far as I know, and our German friends will have to confirm, the prepaid knock-offs DON'T have that feature -- or, if they do, it is well-hidden in the documentation. Not even sure the other majors (O2, Voda, E+) allow it on prepaid.
My conclusion: I doubt the orangeclick.ch has that feature. And who would want it if there is a COST vs free inbound SMS?
