Will My NES Mobile SIM card work outside of Israel? The answer to this question is simple – NO.

Well, technically our SIM cards CAN work outside of Israel if we put you on a Roaming plan, but you may incur HUGE amounts if something goes wrong due to Roaming fees. Roaming plans are good ONLY for the plan they are put on and anything out of this plan will cost a fortune. For instance, if a roaming plan is good for calls made from Europe to Israel, and calls will not be charged for these calls, calls made NOT to Israel will be charged a ridiculous price of ~$6/min.

This is the reason we at NES Mobile try blocking all our SIM’s for International Roaming. However, from time to time, a line can be missed from this Roaming “block” and indeed will be able to work outside of Israel.

Please note: from time to time, a line may be missed from this Roaming “block” and indeed will be able to work outside of Israel.

This is the reason we tell our clients not only to disable the Roaming feature on their phone while traveling abroad but to actually take the SIM out from the phone.

We know it is a bit of a hassle, but better have a bit of a hassle than a 10,000 NIS bill.

How Roaming works

Roaming is much like a lease agreement between providers in which one provider “leases” a permit to use the network for one or more of his roaming clients.

From time to time, the providers run a balance check between themselves and see who owes who and how much.

Calls and or texting during roaming are priced at over 20 NIS per min/text (or part of a minute) which is around $6.

Internet charges are charged by the Kilobyte or Kb for short (there are 1052 Kb in each Mb) for about $0.01/Kb. doesn’t sound much, right? so read on –

doesn’t sound much, right? so read on –

An average word document attachment to an email is about 2 Mb, so in a quick calculation, if you are charged at $0.01/Kb. you will be charged about $20 for this email.

If your phone runs an update to an app – which can be easily 20Mb… you will be charged over $200 for this.

Now you can understand why you hear about people that got home and got a HUGE bill from their provider.

And now you can also understand why we try blocking all our clients from roaming while using our SIM’s.

Jordan

SOme of our clients travel to Jordan for a day trip passing over the Alenbi Bridge or the Adam Bridge.

Due to the proximity of Jordan to Israel, in some cases, you may have reception on your phone while traveling in Jordan. This is true only when one travels to the Dead Sea area. If you are traveling to Jordan, and your phone connects to the Israeli Network (Cellcom), you are fine.

YOU MUST MAKE SURE THAT YOUR PHONE HAS ROAMING DISABLED.

We have SIM cards to fit into any kind of phone . When placing an order, please specify which SIM type you need – Nano, Micro or Regular.
Regarding 4G networks – all our SIMs have 4G enabled on them. Whether you will actually enjoy 4G depends on your location in Israel (not all places have 4G), on network availability, and on whether your phone supports 4G. If you do not know your phone’s capabilities, please check online: http://www.gsmarena.com/

The SIM  will not let me make outgoing calls nor is the internet working. Could you help me set this up or is there a store in Tel Aviv I can visit today?

This message means that your line was shut off.

This happens because your line may have been reported lost or stolen, or your system shut the line due to an unpaid bill. This could also have happened as our carrier may have detected unusual activity on the line.

please note: we keep the lines shut till a day or two before your rental starts and until the day your contracts ends, for security reasons.

If for whatever reason you need to change your start or end date of your contract, please be in touch with us directly via email service@nesmobile.com
