Coverage & network in Israel
Israel is straightforward for eSIM travellers — the profile attaches to whichever partner network is strongest where you’re standing, and the plan runs on the phone already in your pocket.
Most travellers over-buy data. Navigation and messaging for a week is under 2 GB — streaming and video calls are what move the number, at roughly 1 GB an hour.
5G is available in Israel on plans marked 5G, wherever your handset and the local network both support it; elsewhere you’ll be on 4G/LTE, which is what most of the country actually runs on. Tethering is allowed on every Israel plan, so a laptop or a travelling companion can share the connection.
Crossing borders on the same trip? The Middle East plan covers much of the region on one profile. Otherwise there are separate plans for Iraq, Jordan and Kuwait.
How to install it
- 1
Buy in a minute
Pick a Israel plan and pay. Your QR code arrives by email within minutes — no account, no shipping.
- 2
Install on Wi-Fi
Scan the code before you fly. The profile sits alongside your normal SIM and stays switched off until you need it.
- 3
Land connected
Turn on data roaming for the TravelNet line when you arrive. The plan starts counting down on that first connection, not at checkout.
Will my phone work?
You need an eSIM-capable, carrier-unlocked phone: an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or
newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship. Dial *#06# — if
an EID number is listed alongside the IMEI, the phone has an eSIM.

Israel eSIM questions
Which network does the Israel eSIM use?
We don't publish a single operator name for Israel, because the profile can attach to more than one partner network and picks whichever is strongest where you are. In practice that means you get the best available signal rather than being locked to one operator's weak spots.
Will I get 5G in Israel?
On plans marked 5G, yes — where the network has deployed it and your phone supports it. Outside those areas the eSIM falls back to 4G/LTE automatically; you won't need to change any setting.
How much data do I actually need for Israel?
Most travellers over-buy. Maps and messaging for a week is under 2 GB; streaming and video calls are what move the number. Start small and top up if you run short.
When does my Israel plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network in Israel, not when you buy it. Install it at home a day or two before you fly — the validity period on the plan you choose runs from arrival, not from checkout.
Can I use my Israel eSIM as a hotspot?
Yes. Tethering is enabled on every Israel plan, so you can share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or someone travelling with you. Hotspot data comes out of the same allowance.
Can I keep my own phone number while I'm in Israel?
Yes — that's the main reason to use an eSIM rather than a local SIM. Your home line stays active for calls, SMS and two-factor codes; the Israel eSIM sits alongside it as a data-only line. Leave data roaming off for your home line to avoid a surprise bill.
Do I need to register or show a passport to use a Israel eSIM?
No. The plan roams on partner networks, so there's no local SIM registration, no ID upload and no shop visit. You buy it, scan the QR code, and it works on arrival.
What happens if I run out of data in Israel?
You can buy another Israel plan from the same page and install it the same way. Plans marked as top-up capable can also be extended without a new QR code.
I'm also visiting Iraq and Jordan — do I need separate eSIMs?
Not necessarily. The Middle East plan covers much of the region including Israel on a single profile. If Israel is the bulk of the trip, a country plan is usually the better buy; if you're crossing several borders, the regional plan wins.
Will my phone work with a Israel eSIM?
If it's an iPhone XS or newer, a Pixel 3 or newer, or a recent Samsung Galaxy S, Z or A-series flagship, almost certainly — and it must be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# and look for an EID number: if one is listed, the phone has an eSIM. Our compatibility list has the full set.
