Israel GPRS rates

For some unknown reason Pelephone do not publish their data rates on the web. Their prepaid voice rates are the best in the country - NIS 0.49 per minute and NIS 0.50 per SMS to all networks, with a monthly fee of NIS 9.9. It is worth asking at a Pelephone sales point, as their HSPA is the fastest data network in the country.

The market is expected to change soon with the introduction of several MVNO's in the coming months, followed by two new MNO's during 2012.

The first MVNO to go on air will belong to the Rami Levi supermarket chain, expected to start selling SIM cards on December 5. Rumors are that a prepaid SIM card will cost NIS 40, air time about NIS 0.20-0.25 /min to all networks and data NIS 50 for 5 GB. The MVNO will use Pelephone's HSPA 850/2100 network (with no GSM service).

I intend to update as new operators will go on air.

For further information see my previous post and use a translation service.

what about keeping your number ?
With orange, if you don't use you sim for a year you still keep your number, and there's no monthly fees, what happen if your balance don't have enough ?

Also, can we move from bigtalk to pelephone prepaid whithout changing the phone # ?
