Every plan includes an Israeli number, unlimited local calls and texts, and mobile data — with no roaming fees and no contract. You choose the amount of data and the length of your trip, and the countdown only starts when you first connect in Israel.
Which plan for which trip?
Data is the only real variable. Here is how travellers usually choose.
20 GB — Basic
A short stay, or a light user: maps, messaging, a bit of browsing. Enough for one to two weeks of everyday use without streaming.
50 GB — Medium
The most chosen plan. Comfortable for two to three weeks, including daily navigation, social media, photos and the occasional video call.
100 GB — Pro
A long trip, a family sharing one connection by hotspot, or heavy streaming and remote work. The data you stop having to think about.
How it works

What every prepaid plan includes
An Israeli number
You receive verification SMS, book by phone and get called back by hotels or drivers — impossible with data-only eSIMs.
It starts when you land
The countdown begins on your first connection to the Israeli network, not at purchase. No days wasted before takeoff.
Top up without rebuying
Use more than expected? Recharge the same line online — no reinstalling a profile, no changing number mid-trip.
24/7 support
A team based in Israel, reachable on WhatsApp, answers activation questions in minutes in your language.
Prepaid eSIM Israel — frequently asked questions
How much data do I need for a trip to Israel?
For one to two weeks of everyday use — maps, messaging, browsing, social media — 20 to 50 GB is enough for most travellers. Choose 100 GB only if you stream video daily, work remotely, or share your connection with family by hotspot.
Does the prepaid eSIM include an Israeli phone number?
Yes. Every prepaid plan includes an Israeli number with unlimited calls and texts within Israel, so you can receive verification codes and be reached locally — not just use data.
When does my prepaid plan start counting?
The plan activates on your first connection to the Israeli network, not when you buy it. You can order days in advance and lose nothing.
Do I need to remove my usual SIM?
No. The eSIM is added as a second line. You keep your home number for calls and texts while the Israeli line carries your data.
How fast do I receive the eSIM?
Your QR code arrives by email within about two minutes of purchase, with installation instructions. There is nothing to ship and nothing to pick up.
