Rent a sim card in Israel?

February 28, 2013 6:41 PM

Can anyone recommend a good company in Israel from which we can rent a prepaid sim card?

We're heading to Israel in about 10 days, and we will need to rent a sim card. We have an old iPhone 3 that we've used for this purpose before, (it was an AT&T phone, in case that matters.) We don't need a lot of phone minutes, but unlimited data is crucial. Ideally, we'd like to pick up the card at the airport in Tel Aviv, and be able to drop it off either back at the same airport or just mail it back to the provider. We've found a few companies online that appear to offer this service, but we'd love to hear any firsthand information or recommendations.

Thanks!

I used talk'n'save and it worked out pretty well.

I bought a sim card from the Steimatzky book store in the airport for a couple of bucks, from what I remember it cost something like a shekel per day for data service. No need to return the card.
