Maxroam (aka Roam4Free V2)

This sounds like the same company "Orange il" that yackie first used. And, sms sent to the +972 number worked. So, may be they just have not ironed it out yet.

3G, Internet and MMS settings were all pointing to *.orange.co.il

I send an SMS to the UK number that I was assigned, the message did not arrive (as expected, it's a landline number).

I entered my simcard number here:

and got back this:
Network name Partner Communications Co. Ltd
Operator name
Country or global network Israel
MCC-MNC 425-01

Cheap ass as I am, I didn't try to make a testcall.
I did send an SMS to my Belgian Mobile (cost €0.30)
It arrived immediatly, and was from an IL number (+972 543 56 xxxx).
I then tried to send a message back to this number (cost €0.02 - thank you justvoip ). The messages did not arrive.

That's it for now.
Now I'm waiting for my iPhone to arrive
