Coverage and networks

Israel has a modern, densely built network with major operators Cellcom, Partner, Pelephone and Hot Mobile. Cellcom usually offers the broadest and most reliable coverage, including in remote areas. 5G is widespread in and around Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and other cities, with fast 4G as a baseline throughout the country. Networks: Cellcom, Partner, Pelephone.

Israel is compact and well covered, so 5 to 10 GB is enough for most trips. If you want to navigate and stream a lot, choose a larger package.

An eSIM works fine in Israel and the networks are modern; 2G and 3G have been phased out in favour of 4G and 5G.
