GBSIM Card didn't work, haven't received response from company My rental SIM card didn't work in my phone. When I tried to call, the office was closed - the time difference made reaching the office almost impossible. When I emailed, it took a very long time to receive a response, and the response was not helpful. I have not received any response to my request for a refund, since the card did not work. After the first response, which asked that I let them know whether their suggestions worked, I never heard from them again. I am very dissatisfied.

GBNation wide coverage. I rented an unlimited data Sim card from Amigo. I had continual service from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and from the Negev to the Golan. The GPS on the phone was active throughout the entire trip. The service was better than anticipated, all though service was limited, as expected, in rugged areas.

GBMy experience I found that the wifi device option is not really practical as the power is drained very quickly when it's used in the manner of piggy backing off your existing phone. I would recommend either renting an actual separate phone or a sim card for an unclocked phone.

GBbeing stuck in Israel without a phone. I rented a phone from Baltimore, which I have done many times before, only to find when we got to Israel the charger part of the phone was broken. I called the American number twice before someone in Israel called us back only to be told he couldn't help us as he was out of phones and it would be about a week before he might have one available. Not acceptable!

GBOverall Very good Overall Very good. However, both SIM Cards did not work "out of the box" and required several calls to customer service to properly activate in order to work properly. Secondly, when trying to reach customer service multiple calls were required and regardless of the day, or time of day, it was nearly impossible to get someone to pick up. Additionally, their on-line chat NEVER worked. Once you did get someone on the phone, the problem was quickly resolved.
