Can I use an iPhone in Israel?
So as of now I live in the United States but i'm moving to Israel for about a year. I know that in Israel they use Sim Cards for phones and I was wondering if I could use an iPhone in Israel. Do they even sell iPhones there? I also text a lot if that changes anything?
If it's GSM, then yes. If CDMA, then No. Be prepared to pay an arm and a leg for roaming. You can save money by buying a pay-as-go card there, but only if your phone isn't locked to a carrier.
OMG, Duhh you dim nit: P do they even have iphone, what a dic_head you are. Israel is technologically 10 times more advanced then the USA. What the hell did you think that you are going to live in the desert with the lizards and the backward arabs? Bwah ha ha, di_khead!
Asker - google "iphone Israel" for lots of info. Including Israeli Aps, Apple sellers, rental…
Roaming charges will be high, call your company and ask. So a pay as you go will be much better. You need an unlocked phone (not locked into your carrier). Also it has to be able to access the frequency used in Israel/Europe. Which is different than the US. So if it's a quad it will and a tri it might.
The carrier companies are Orange, Telcom and Pelephone

Of course you can use the iPhone in Israel, and what could be the problem?
Bring your Iphone and use the Wi-Fi to access whatsapp, skype, and other apps. I highly doubt the phone part it will work here bc of the CDMA GSM frequency but if it does the cost won't be worth it. So get a cheapo unlocked phone and buy a sim when you get here and keep refilling it.

- Would AMC on demand work in Israel? I'm spending the next year in Israel but I would still like to keep up with Breaking Bad. I won't have access to a computer but I will have my iphone with Internet which I can currently watch episodes of AMC shows from. Would that still work in Israel or would zoning laws or such prevent me from doing so?
- Israel case? Or another case? Ok so me an my best friends are all light skinned, 3 girls and 2 boys ) and we joke about how we're international. And I saw my her with a UK case. I come from a family where some are very close minded about things. I was searching for a case and I saw a awesome looking Israel flag case for the iphone 4. I'm a Christian, do you think me getting an Israel flag case will be upsetting to my family and my religion? Serious answers please.
- Is there an App for use with Motorola MOTOACTV that you can use with Iphone 5s? I was told you can download an app for the tracker motoactv onto your Iphone 5s but can't find it. Anyone know if there's one as need for my fitness and cycling programme.
- How to get things that I shipped to America to Israel? I would like to buy an iphone 5 from ebay, though the seller only ships to the US. I've heard of companies that get stuff shipped to them in the US and then ship it internationally. I'm interested in this strategy, though i would like to know which companies are reliable and around how much it would cost to get an iphone from the US to Israel.
