YouPhone offers an unlimited monthly plan for an astounding getting to know you deal of 39 NIS a month. The price includes unlimited local phone calls and SMS text message and 1GB of monthly surfing. After the four-month getting to know you period ends, the monthly price will increase to 79 NIS.
YouPhone also offers shopping credit at Mega supermarkets or gas at Dor Alon for eligible clients.
Rami Levy Communications still offers its 88 NIS monthly rate, and Golan Telecommunications, unwilling to be outdone offers a 6-month introductory offer of 49 NIS a month after which the price increases to 99 NIS monthly. And let’s not forget Hot Mobile which has also joined the 49 NIS a month club for six months, followed by a 99 NIS monthly rate.

The new cellular revolution in Israel also offers new plans including one in which there is no monthly charge or hidden cost, so if one does not make any outgoing calls, there is no monthly charge. Outgoing local rates are 10 agorot per minute or SMS text message.
There are other plans offered by the various companies as well.

Monopolies must be broken and wonderful to see the prices dip down to normalcy.. WIll help us when our teens go to Israel and need cells.
Bklynmom – if that’s what you’re worried about (the high cost of cell service) then you haven’t done much research yet. You haven’t seen the cost of flights, food, or even the actual tuition. Do yourself a favor and keep your kids home with the “expensive” talk and text plans we have in America. Can you hear me now?
