Israeli SIM
We recommend you buy Israeli SIM at the airport as you arrive. They are really cheap. Just a few calls or few Gigabytes of data using your own SIM card will cost more than an Israeli SIM for a full month!
You can find SIM shops: Ha-Meyasdim 52, Zichron Yaakov, 053-531 1111 and Zichron Mall.
You can also pre-order Israeli SIM to your country, but reserve at least 3-4 weeks time for it’s arrival.
