Cellular Abroad Rental Service for Israel

Take a Cellular Abroad rental phone to Israel and enjoy the convenience and security of a working cell phone without an expensive roaming bill waiting for you when you return. Cellular Abroad offers cellular phone rentals for Israel and over 120 other countries. Cellular Abroad equips all of their Israel rental customers with the same service enjoyed by thousands of Israeli residents every day; you get the same quality service that you get from your domestic cellular provider, but you'll pay the same rates as the local residents in Israel. This is a prepaid service, which means you will never pay a bill or sign a contract; the service comes with over 45 minutes of international airtime, and you can purchase more easily at local convenience stores and gas stations throughout Israel. Our rates are extremely advantageous and even include unlimited FREE incoming calls!

You phone and SIM card are linked to a prepaid account so that you will never receive a phone bill and will always be in complete control of your expenditures. Once you call customer service to arrange for automatic "top-ups", you will enjoy a very convenient prepaid system. Our customers love it!

Whether you are headed to Jeruslam or Tel Aviv; an Israeli phone rental from Cellular Abroad will help you keep in touch all over the country.

Important FAQs for Rentals

• When do I order?
  You can order as far in advance as you like - even months prior to your departure. We will not ship your rental until the appropriate date in order for you to receive it in time for your departure. Rentals are typically shipped FedEx 2-Day service, unless faster service is required.
• What is the latest I can order a rental phone?
  Although it's not recommended to place your order at the last minute, you can order up to one business day prior to your departure as long as you call in prior to 4pm Pacific Time. Even if you are leaving early in the morning, we can usually get your phone to you. Please call our 800 number (rather than order via the web) in order to confirm that we can get you your cell phone rental on time. Please take into account that bad weather can sometimes delay FedEx shipments. Cellular Abroad cannot refund the price of priority shipping for orders placed the day before departure if the package arrives late due to the weather.
• When do I get the phone?
  You will receive your cell phone rental a day or two prior to your departure.
• Does the cell phone come charged?
  Yes it does. You need only insert the SIM chip into the rental phone's SIM card slot, which is easily done. (Please let us know if you would like for us to do this for you.)
• What happens if I cancel?
  As long as your cell phone rental has not been shipped, you will only be charged the reserve fee ($25 per phone). In the case that your rental has been sent out, you are only responsible for a one week rental plus the shipping.
• When do I get charged for my cell phone rental?
  You will be charged upon checkout for the full security deposit. Please see our Rental Agreement
• What will the rates be for people calling me from the US?
  That depends on the international long distance rates charged by their long distance company.  We recommend a company called Gorilla Mobile for those calls because they have low rates internationally and their service can even be used from a US cell phone.  Tell Gorilla Mobile you were referred by Cellular Abroad or enter our promo code CELLAB1 at www.gorillamobile.com and they will give you $5 in free call credit to start plus they'll waive your startup fee!  Gorilla Mobile’s phone number is 1-800-881-3004.
• Does Cellular Abroad offer insurance against loss or damage?
  No, we do not, and this is why. Technically, you are purchasing the phone from Cellular Abroad and then we are buying it back from you. The vast majority of credit card companies offer their own insurance against loss or damage for purchases, but usually not for rentals. Therefore, and given this premise, you are already covered for accidental loss or damage...at no extra charge!

Multi-Country Travel
You can also purchase other SIM cards as well for other countries to where you may be traveling. (This option is good for those planning on doing a lot of local calling.) We also offer an international roaming Talk Abroad™ rental that is convenient for travel to multiple countries. (This option is useful for those wanting a single number for use in multiple countries and who will be making more calls back home than locally.)
