Cellphone Rental
Many of our participants request information about cell phone rental while in Israel. We are pleased to direct you to an exclusive offer by IsraelPhones set up for IsraelExperts participants.
We have been working closely with IsraelPhones for the past few years and they have always provided excellent service and preferred rates for our participants. While calling cards may offer a bit more of a competitive calling rate, calling card use is NOT consistent around the country and in the various hotels. Our experience is that the extra cost outweighs the frustration of using the cards.
Details of offer:
FREE Group Distribution: Phones will be distributed upon the group arrival in Israel at no charge, and collected from the participants at the time of group departure (with 10 or more orders per group flight).
FREE incoming calls and incoming text messages: From anywhere in the world!
Early Bird Special: Order online 5 days or more in advance and receive FREE daily rental and insurance fees on your cellular rental for the duration of your scheduled group trip!
Toll-Free Customer Service: IsraelPhones provides you with toll-free local Customer Service numbers in the U.S., Canada, and Israel
Repairs and Replacements with Door-to-Door Service: No need to visit a service center, they come to you!

Please note the following important information if you choose to rent a phone with or without IsraelPhones:
- IsraelExperts has no affiliation with IsraelPhones. Any and all issues regarding their services must be dealt with directly with them. We will not be able to answer questions about their services – please contact them directly.
- IsraelExperts will not have any liability for use of, or issues with, the services offered by IsraelPhones.
- IsraelExperts, while understanding the need to keep in contact with friends and family back home and in Israel, asks that you use the phone in a manner that does not interrupt the Taglit-Birthright Israel program.
In order to rent a phone, simply go here.
You can also rent a SIM card only. However, many American phones need to be unlocked in order to accommodate this; if in doubt, we recommend renting a cell phone. The same rates apply to this SIM card as the cell phone rental. Israel Phones can also be reached at info@israelphones.com or by calling 1-866-8-ISRAEL (U.S.) or 1-800-721-111 (Israel).
