Buy eSIM data plans for Israel

A Israel eSIM is a prepaid mobile-data plan for your trip. Install it on a compatible, carrier-unlocked phone before departure, then select it as your data line within the plan's coverage area.

An Israel eSIM is a data-only plan that loads onto your phone before you fly, so coverage begins the instant you arrive. Land at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, switch it on, and your phone connects to local networks like HotMobile (5G) and Pelephone (5G) without a single SIM kiosk. There are no roaming fees and nothing to swap at the counter. From the gate you can pull up maps, message home, call a ride and check messaging apps while everyone else is still hunting for a signal. Step off the plane already connected and keep your travel days moving from the first minute.

How eSIM works in Israel

Choose a data plan for Israel, install the eSIM over reliable Wi-Fi before your trip, and follow the selected plan’s activation instructions. Your regular SIM can stay in your phone, while the eSIM gives you mobile data for travel apps, messaging, maps and browsing.

  1. Buy a plan

    Pick a destination, data allowance and validity period.

  2. Install your eSIM

    Scan the QR or auto-install in the app — no physical SIM.

  3. Land & connect

    Data activates on first connection at your destination.

Size it to your trip

Pick the profile closest to your trip. The estimate assumes normal use — maps, messaging, photos, a short call home.

As a rule of thumb, a 3–4 day city break runs on about 1–3 GB, a one-week trip on 3–5 GB, a two-week multi-country tour on 8–12 GB, and working on the road takes about 1 GB a day, so 15 GB or more for two weeks.

In total, a 5 GB data allowance covers roughly 1,700 shared photos, 83 hours of social media and browsing, 15 hours of video calls, 63 hours of music streaming, or about 1000 hours of maps and navigation. Messaging apps barely use data.

Important cities in Israel

Tel Aviv · City guide

Tel Aviv

A Tel Aviv eSIM keeps you connected along the Mediterranean beaches and through the airy streets of the Bauhaus White City. Use mobile data to find a stretch of sand, read up on the architecture as you wander, and line up the lively nightlife once the sun goes down. Coverage is strong across the city centre, so maps and messaging stay quick whether you are by the water or out late.

Frequently asked questions

Which mobile networks does the Israel eSIM use?

Your Israel eSIM connects to local networks including HotMobile (5G) and Pelephone (5G). It automatically selects an available signal, so where 5G is present your phone can use it, and it falls back to slower data where 5G is not yet available.

Will coverage hold up as I move between the coast, Jerusalem and the desert?

Distances here are short, and coverage is strong across the city centres along the coast and in Jerusalem. As you head into the desert and more remote areas, signal can become variable, so it helps to download maps for those stretches in advance.

What about trips down to Eilat on the Red Sea or to the Dead Sea?

On trips down to the Red Sea at Eilat and to the Dead Sea, coverage is reliable around the towns and resort areas, but signal can vary on the more isolated roads and shorelines in between. Keep offline maps handy for the quieter stretches.

Will one Israel plan cover a multi-country trip?

This is an Israel-only plan, made for travel inside the country. If your trip also covers other destinations, a single-country eSIM will not follow you across borders, so for a wider journey choose a regional eSIM instead.

When should I set up the eSIM before arriving in Israel?

Install the eSIM over Wi-Fi while you are still at home, then leave activation until you are about to travel. That way your data is ready to come online the moment you land at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, with no setup needed at the terminal.

Can I keep my own number and use a hotspot in Israel?

Yes. The eSIM runs as a separate data line, so your usual number stays active for calls and texts over your home plan while the eSIM handles data. On most phones you can also share that data as a hotspot for a laptop or a travel companion's device.
