Use a Israel eSIM to stay connected
Israel is a country known for its strong cultural and religious diversity, natural beauty, and historic landmarks.
Visiting Israel will be a memorable experience, and something you’ll want to share with friends and family while you travel.
This is where an Israel eSIM can be a big help. Using an Israel eSIM will provide you with local data at an affordable rate to keep you online when there isn’t available Wi-Fi.
How much travel data do I need in Israel?
Your travel data needs in Israel will depend on a few factors. While in your hotel room you’ll have access to Wi-Fi, but as soon as you leave to explore the local attractions you will need mobile data.
With an Israel eSIM’s customizable prepaid data plans, you can start with a small data package and upgrade when more data is needed.
Will I pay roaming charges with prepaid Israel data from an eSIM?
When you’re using an Israel eSIM for data and have your Data Roaming settings configured correctly, you won’t pay a penny in data roaming fees.
That’s because when you’re using an Israel eSIM, your smartphone is immediately linked to a local network in Israel, so you won’t be using your regular data plan from back home.
(Just remember to turn off Data Roaming on your Primary SIM card to avoid roaming charges on your next bill).
