## Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best eSIM for traveling to Israel?

The best eSIM for Israel is one that offers local rates and switches between top-tier carriers. GlobaleSIM provides high-speed 4G/5G connectivity by partnering with networks like Pelephone, Partner Israel, ensuring you stay connected in major cities and throughout rural areas without expensive roaming fees.

Can I keep my original phone number and use apps like WhatsApp in Israel?

Yes, absolutely. Your physical SIM and your new eSIM work simultaneously. This means your original phone number, WhatsApp, iMessage, and all other apps will remain completely unaffected and stay linked to your primary number automatically. Just make sure to set your eSIM as the primary line for cellular data in your phone's settings upon arrival.

Can I use my Israel eSIM for hotspots and data sharing?

Absolutely. Our Israel data plans support mobile hotspots and tethering, allowing you to share your connection with laptops, tablets, or other travelers. This is a perfect solution for remote work or family trips across Israel.

How do I activate my eSIM for Israel and when does the plan start?

Activation is instant. Once you purchase your eSIM for Israel, you will receive a QR code via email. The validity period only begins when your device first connects to a supported network in Israel, giving you the flexibility to install it before your departure.

Will my phone work with a GlobaleSIM plan in Israel?

Our eSIMs work with all carrier-unlocked devices that support eSIM technology, including iPhone 11 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20+, and Google Pixel series. Using an eSIM in Israel allows you to keep your physical SIM active for primary calls while using our plan for affordable data.

Does this plan cover other countries besides Israel?

This plan provides high-speed 4G/5G mobile data infrastructure exclusively within Israel. If you are planning a multi-destination trip, we recommend checking our [regional eSIM](https://globalesim.app/product-category/regional/) plans to ensure seamless connectivity across all borders without changing your digital SIM.
