English
An eSIM for Israel is a digital data plan for the phone you already own. There is no physical SIM card, no airport lines, and no passport needed. Your plan is ready on your SIMAREA account before you even leave home.
It works safely alongside your normal SIM. You keep your own number for calls and important text messages. Your data goes through the SIMAREA plan. Just turn off data roaming on your home SIM to avoid high bills.
Every plan here uses more than one partner network. Your phone joins one when you arrive and can switch to another if the signal weakens.
If you stay longer, top up your current plan with more data. You do not need to buy a new one.
What it is not: a local phone number. If you need one for verification codes, see virtual numbers for Israel.
Israel eSIM on Cellcom, Hot Mobile, and Pelephone
5GMobile data for a trip to Tel Aviv or Eilat, or for a stay of up to 180 days. Every plan lists three networks and exits in Israel.
The unlimited plan is the day pass we feature for Israel: after its daily full-speed allowance it keeps you connected at a lower speed, and it is billed per day for the days you choose. Fixed plans are one price for the term shown. Nothing on this page is an estimate.
How to get mobile data in Israel
Set it up at home the night before. Your eSIM waits quietly until you arrive.
Pick eSIM plan
Choose how long you are there. The day pass is billed per day, so the term is yours to set.
Pay, then scan
Charged from your balance, which you top up with crypto. Your QR code is in your dashboard once the order is paid.
Turn it on when you arrive
Turn on data roaming for your SIMAREA plan when you arrive, and it joins a partner network.
What to know about an eSIM for Israel
The specifics that decide whether a travel eSIM is useful once you're actually there.
More than one network
Every plan here lists more than one partner network. If one gets weak, your phone can switch to another.
Set up before you go
No SIM card store, no passport check. Install it at home, then turn on data roaming for it when you arrive.
Hotspot sharing
Share your internet with a laptop or a friend, if your plan and phone allow it.
Keep your own number
The eSIM is just for internet. Your normal SIM still receives calls and important bank codes. You can use both at once.
Keep using the same eSIM
Staying longer? Top up the same plan with more data from your dashboard. No need for a new QR code.
If it does not work
Not installed or connected yet? Ask for a refund within 30 days of buying it. Installed but not working on any of its networks? Support helps, and refunds you if it cannot be fixed.
Israel eSIM: three networks and an exit in Israel
Every plan on this page, the day pass included, lists Cellcom, Hot Mobile, and Pelephone, and the catalog marks all three with 5G.
The exit is in Israel too, on all nine plans, so websites see an address in Israel. The multi-country plans further down can't say the same: their exits are elsewhere.
Israel plan sizes, up to 50 GB for 180 days
- 7 days: 1 GB
- 15 days: 2 GB or 3 GB
- 30 days: 3, 5, 10, or 20 GB
- 180 days: 50 GB
- Day pass: each day opens with 1 GB at full speed on these networks, and 512 Kbps follows until it resets
The 180-day plan is the long option, for a semester or an extended family stay on one eSIM. Each of the nine tops up with more data, and none gains days that way: when the term ends, you buy another plan.
Country plan or multi-country plan for Israel
Israel also appears on plans sold for several countries. Their networks and exits differ from the plans above, and none of them lists Cellcom:
- Middle East eSIM, 11-country and 12-country lists: Hot Mobile, Partner, Pelephone, and PHI Networks, with an exit in the UK or Norway. Both lists name Jordan and Turkey; only the 12-country list names Egypt.
- Global 130: the same four networks and the same exit, with terms up to 365 days. It also names Cyprus and Greece.
- Asia eSIM, 20-country list: Pelephone alone, with an exit in Hong Kong.
The day passes on the Middle East and Asia pages belong to lists that don't name Israel, so for a day pass here, take the one on this page.
Israel eSIM questions
Will websites see an Israeli IP address?
On the plans on this page, yes: all nine exit in Israel. On the Middle East and Global 130 plans the exit is in the UK or Norway, and on the Asia plans it's in Hong Kong.
Is the Israel day pass unlimited?
It isn't unlimited at full speed. Each day's 1 GB runs at full speed on the same three networks; after that you're at 512 Kbps until the day resets.
Does the eSIM come with a +972 number?
No. The eSIM is data only, with no +972 number, calls, or SMS, and your regular SIM keeps your number. A number is a separate rental: a virtual number for Israel receives SMS for the term you rent it, with no calls.
Do the days start when I install the Israel eSIM?
No. All nine plans start at the first connection in Israel, so you can install before your trip without losing days. An unused plan stays valid for 180 days.
