What is the data speed? Will it be reduced after reaching certain amount of use?

Hello, Deployment of the 4G LTE network in Israel was launched about a year ago, but according to data just released from OpenSignal on February 2016, Israel is ranked 4th when it comes to browsing speeds and the average download speed of LTE in Israel, stands at 28 Mbps (megabytes per second). Since the 4G LTE network in Israel is currently being deployed around the country, only about half of Israel has LTE coverage. For example, Cellcom`s 4G LTE network in Israel, used by NES Mobile, covers about 44% of the network with 4G LTE, while the rest of the network is still 3G or 3.5 G. On average it's about 24 Mbps for 4G, and around 9 Mbps for 3-3.5G. Currently the SIM card plans do slow you down after 5GB, but the Data plans for the Pocket Wifi have unlimited data. All plans are subject to changes, so please check details on site prior to ordering your NES Mobile Israeli SIM card. Best wishes, Rachel,NES Mobile

What data speed can be expected with this sim in Israel? It says unlimited data, but does the data speed reduce after certain amount of use?

NES Mobile uses Cellcom's network, which is the largest cellular network in Israel. 4G / LTE SPEED:* 4G is being deployed in Israel gradually, so some locations will get 4G / LTE most of the time, while others will get 3G speeds. It depends on your specific location in Israel and the usage at that very time.* NES Mobile Israel SIM cards use Cellcom's vast network, so therefore in all likelihood you would get the best cell reception and speed with NES Mobile's Israel SIM cards.* NOTE- most of our European clients claim that Israel's 3G is faster than EU's 4G.* If the servers you're trying to reach are based in the USA, please note that even with 4G speed, it would not be as fast as it would be in the USA, simply because Israel is 6000 miles away.* You need to check the specific NES Mobile plans for the SIM cards. However, in general terms the data speed for the NES Mobile Pocket WiFi (mobile hotspot) service offers totally unlimited data in Israel, and does not slow down. Other plans do have a slow down after 5 GB.COVERAGEIn terms of coverage, since NES Mobile uses Cellcom's network, it has superb coverage throughout Israel. Most of our clients tell us that the coverage and reception they get with the NES Mobile SIM card is better than what they're used to in the USA, with good call quality and hardly any calls disconnecting. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Rachel, NES Mobile

Can i still use my regular phone number from the usa in israel?

No. You will get a new Israeli cell phone number from Nes Mobile. However, for a small fee you could also order a Virtual USA number, and then simply forward the calls your regular phone number to the virtual usa# so it will ring on your Israeli SIM card.

What is the advantage of buying this rather than just going directly though nes mobile?

It was back in 2015 when I used NES services. Each time I go to Israel they have newer and better choices. So, I am afraid I don't have an opinion on this. My apologies.

Buy the NES Mobile card direct from NES

Eventually the Nano SIM Card from NES Mobile worked out well, but it would have been easier to get started if I had bought it directly from the NES Mobile web site, When I contacted them about activating the card after I had bought it on Amazon the left hand did not seem to know anything about the right hand; it was hard to get across that I already had the card and just needed it activated instead of what to them apparently is more usual - buying it from them first and then picking it up at the airport in Tel Aviv. Thus getting set up with NES Mobile was more difficult than it would have been had I initially contacted them directly from their own web site.

Got the job done.

Make sure you register and everything on the website right when you get this. It makes it easier to activate once you get to Israel. Everything worked fine while I was there, data and voice.

Great cell coverage for a trip to Israel

We ordered NES Mobile SIM Cards for a trip to Israel, and the service was exactly what we needed! We had unlimited phone, text, and data for the entire duration of the trip, with both Israeli and American phone numbers that rang on our end. The service included unlimited calling from Israel to the US, which was very useful for keeping in touch with people while we were away. The data was through LTE for most locations, and plenty fast for online browsing, using a GPS, streaming music, etc.,

Good service overall.

It was an excellent choice! Worked flawlessly the entire time I was in Israel. One word of advice is start the setup well in advance of your trip because it takes them time to activate.
