Info about Israeli phones
You can purchase Kosher phones, Talk and Text phones and Hadran filtered smartphones here.
Phones could be found as add-ons to long-term packages. See our long-term plans here. The correct phone type is listed on each package.
Note: Israeli Kosher SIMs only work in Israeli-certified kosher phones. Inserting an Israeli Kosher SIM into a non-certified phone may lock the SIM (charges may apply).
Please Note:
- 2G/3G phones are officially going out of service at the end of 2025 [2026] . until then they have to keep the network running.
- Most kosher sims dont even have 4g yet.
- 2G does have a little less coverage, but there are places that it works better.
This means the phone should be fine at least until 2026!
