    Traveling to Israel is the adventure of a lifetime. The region is world renown for its historical significance. Despite its complex security environment, millions of foreign citizens safely visit the country each year. Israel remains a popular destination for tourism, business, and study. The preparation for visiting Israel can be daunting. Securing a passport and determining when and where in the country to safely travel are typically among the primary concerns. In addition, visitors tend to also focus on ordering airline tickets and booking hotel accommodations. Unfortunately, many leave out another very important factor - arranging for local cell phone or Internet service.

    Arranging for cellular and Israel internet services is very important. Sticking to the phone you currently own can be a costly mistake. Most cell phone providers charge very high rates for roaming - often as high as $4 per minute. Likewise, Internet data rates are very high as well. Other hidden charges in the fine print for international use may also result. It is usually significantly cheaper to obtain an Israeli SIM card or rental phone instead. Mobile WiFi hotspots are available for international Internet use as well. There are several companies that specialize solely in renting phone to travelers in Israel.
