Check current travel advice
UK Foreign Office advice for Israel and the surrounding region has changed frequently in recent years and varies considerably by area. It affects your insurance as much as your safety.
Check the current position for the specific places you plan to visit before booking, rather than relying on what was true last time or what a guidebook says.
Three networks on 5G
Your eSIM connects to Cellcom, Pelephone and Hot Mobile, all on 5G. Israel is small, densely populated and heavily networked — Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, Eilat and the coastal corridor all have strong coverage.
The Negev desert is covered along the main routes and thinner off them. The Dead Sea shore and Masada are well served.
Getting about, and how much data
Israel is compact — Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is under an hour, and Eilat is a four-hour drive from almost anywhere. Public transport and ride-hailing both run on apps.
Note that transport and many services pause from Friday afternoon to Saturday evening for Shabbat, which is worth planning around. 5 GB at £6.99 covers a fortnight comfortably, and there's a 50 GB plan valid 180 days for frequent visitors.
Good to know
Questions, answered
Should I check travel advice before going?+
Yes, and check it for the specific areas you're visiting. UK advice for Israel and the region has changed frequently and varies considerably by location, and it directly affects whether your insurance is valid.
Does this cover the Palestinian territories?+
Coverage in the West Bank and Gaza is provided by separate Palestinian operators that this plan doesn't include, though Israeli networks are reachable in some areas. Don't rely on it if you're travelling there.
How do I install it?+
After checkout we email your eSIM and a QR code. Scan it in your phone's settings, switch the line on, and you're ready — do it before you fly and it activates when you land.
Will it work on my phone?+
Most phones from the last few years support eSIM (iPhone XS and newer, recent Samsung/Pixel). Check your phone in Settings, or use our compatibility checker.
When does my plan start?+
Validity counts from first connection in the destination, not from purchase — so you can buy and install early without wasting days.
Can I keep using my normal number?+
Yes. The eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your usual SIM, so calls and texts on your main number still work.
Networks
Your eSIM hops onto the strongest of Israel’s local networks automatically — no setup, no choosing.
