How is the network coverage in Israel?
In major Israeli cities like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, 5G and 4G LTE networks have good coverage, so whether for tourism or business trips, these cities should not pose major issues.
However, the Middle East situation is changeable, so it is advisable to check government travel advisories before departure for a safer trip. Additionally, there may be signal dead zones in suburban and remote areas, so plan your itinerary accordingly.
How to choose an eSIM plan for Israel?
All our Israel eSIM plans are of the total data type, meaning you have a fixed data pool that does not reset daily regardless of the number of days. This plan is suitable for travellers whose itinerary is concentrated in major cities, allowing for flexible daily data allocation without the need to buy another card midway.
Moreover, all plans have a minimum duration of 30 days, so if you are on a short trip, be sure to plan your data usage well to avoid the hassle of buying a second card midway.
Multi-country card vs single-country card, which is right for you?
- If your itinerary is only to Israel → choose a single-country card, focusing on coverage in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, without the need to buy multiple cards.
- Travelling to Turkey, Albania, and other countries → Choose a multi-country card with wide coverage, so you don't need to buy a new card in every country.
- Trips outside major cities → Be aware of network coverage; suburban and remote areas may have weak signals, so downloading offline maps in advance is more practical.
