Staying connected is a key part of your experience!
During the trip, our staff will use a WhatsApp group to coordinate the daily schedule. You'll probably also want to stay in touch with friends & family back home so everyone can know how awesome your trip is!
Bad news — access to free wifi in Israel will be spotty at best. Good news — there are easy, convenient, and inexpensive options for you to stay connected with a local SIM card or eSim from 019 Mobile.
Starting at $36 — including tax — 019 plans cover:
With 019, you'll either receive a physical SIM upon arrival in Israel or an eSIM code, depending on your phone's requirements.
HOW TO ORDER YOUR SIM
Start here. Make sure your phone is unlocked and check whether it's compatible with physical SIM cards or eSIM cards. The actual SIM gets delivered on arrival at the Tel Aviv airport, and we recommend ordering at least two days in advance. Your assigned phone number will be available in advance of the trip.
ORDERING TIPS
Know your trip's “TL Code” — it's needed for 019's order form
Forgot to order on time? There will probably be a few SIMs available at the airport; however, we recommend taking care of this on time!
ISRAEL'S TIME ZONE
When communicating back home, keep in mind that Israel is (usually) seven hours ahead of Eastern Time or ten hours ahead of Pacific Time. This means evenings in Israel are equivalent to morning/afternoon in North America. Mornings in Israel are equivalent to late night in North America.
