Altice mobile from optimum - unlimited everything $20

[ae123]

are you trying to get service in Israel through altice?

Yes.

[gozalim]

Yes.

how would altice give you service in israel on a phone that they never activated?
the post that @Yisroel Tech linked to was discussing whether that phone, in general, is compatible with the Israeli bands

I am trying to figure out if I sign up here for Altice service would I be able to use the same phone in Israel with their service there.
They say their service works in Israel.

Right. So you first need to know if they support the phone at all. If they do, what is your question exactly? You want to know if you can trust what they say? Are there any DDFers using Altice service in Israel on any Altice phones? If yes, maybe they can chime in.

I want to know if their service in Israel will work with this specific phone.
AFAIK, not everyone phone from the USA will work in Israel

that variable seems to be what Yisroel was addressing. that the phone is compatible with the radio bands used by Israeli carriers.
if the phone works in general, adding Israel ought not to add new problems.
using this phone with that carrier period, considering their unique limitations on acceptable phone models, remains to be seen

The problem with TrustPilot is that you only get to see when people have issues they don’t run after people for positive experience rather people with issues go there is bash the company, I personally am using it as a second phone and I’m ok with it, Verizon is for sure way better but for $20 a month with international roaming I’m not complaining

I moved 2 phones from Verizon and so far, I'm not looking back. Was tired of paying those prices.

IMO, this depends very much on how service is in your area and how much you use WiFi anyway.

My only major issue right now is some VM trouble but I hate VM so I'm not complaining so much

Their CS is abysmal. No doubt one of the ways they keep their cost low.

I think people on the fence  should definitely try with BYOP before the price goes up. Anything to lose?

Reviews on FB page are still awful.

This is the biggest reason I know people didnt get the service. They have terrible CS.

Chat only, you dont even get the (pleasure) [anger] to hear the Indian accent on the phone

Oh I can hear that indian accent thru my keyboard!

[yitz1000]

EXTREMELY SLOW Chat only, you dont even get the (pleasure) [anger] to hear the Indian accent on the phone 

FTFY 
Yet I still say I'm happy I left Verizon's prices for service that I hope will improve over time.

[Sam Finkelstein]

Where are you located?

Lakewood, NYC, and Chicago.

That and that I'm just waiting for them to add on some Network enhancement fee.

I got 1 sim before rate went up,
I got a new number thinking I can always port in after.
Now they say ports must be done when ordering .... crazy
