Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question? Message us in the chat in the corner of the screen, or reach out through our contact form
Which networks does the Israel eSIM use?
Cellcom, Pelephone and Hot Mobile, three of Israel's major networks, all with 5G. Your phone connects to whichever is strongest.
Will Israeli apps and sites see me as being in Israel?
Yes. The connection exits in Israel, so Israeli sites and apps see a local Israeli connection.
Does the Israel eSIM include an Israeli phone number?
No. It's data only. WhatsApp, Waze, Moovit and Gett all work on data, and your home SIM can stay in the phone for SMS codes.
Is there an unlimited data plan for Israel?
Yes. The unlimited plan is priced per day, from 3 to 90 days, with full-speed data up to 3GB a day and a lower speed after that. Hotspot may not work on it.
Are eSIM, digital SIM, and virtual SIM all the same thing?
Yes. An eSIM (also called a digital SIM or virtual SIM) is a SIM with no physical component, installed on your device by scanning a QR code instead of inserting a card. You use it exactly like a regular SIM for data abroad, without hunting for a SIM kiosk at your destination.
Does my device support eSIM technology?
Most smartphones released in the last five years support eSIM. We recommend checking your device settings, or looking up your phone model in the FlySim compatibility checker. Open the compatibility checker
How exactly does activation work?
After payment, you'll receive a unique QR code by email. Scan it in your device's cellular settings (Add eSIM), confirm, and that's it.
