Any good ideas for Sprint Roaming while in Israel?

[bestwatchman]

Using your phone in israel will cost you a heap! when i was in Israel i used gv (and on sprint u can set ur current number for ur gv) and combined it with rebtel. rented israeli sim from talk n save. I know its not what you want but i dont see any way to just roam and not pay

The txt message will cost you regardless if you open it or not.

@real-brisker Are you going to brisk? They let phones with internet? 
Maybe you could get a talk n save phone with an American #, and set up fwding from ur sprint phone to ur talk n save one

Can you give me a bit more information on "talk n save"? What does it cost, and what it includes.

let me put it this way, it's "talk-n-pay"! i would suggest trying to get a an israeli plan which doesnt have a contract and adding a service like 012 to get an american number for a fee per month.

i forget. but i dont think they quote rates online. if u contact them i think by msg or email they call back within a day and theyll tell u all the info. http://www.012.net/pages/default.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1

get a blackberry from orange and they can give you a data  plan for 100 shekel a month. Add 013 for international calling. That would be your best option. The free international roaming just doesnt exist!

to get better internet get and internt card @ 100 shekel a month and plug it into ur laptop. it would also work on oranges 3G

(BTW this is befor the phone, and sim charges. If you want them waived send me a PM)

I'm paying pelephone 38 shekel for 1GB & 200 min to 5 numbers. 100 shekel is a ripoff.

i once heard that incoming messages are free if you dont open them. Im not sure of the validity of thast statement

Not true - They will cost

Up to you. Just why would a brisker need a not kosher phone?

every now and then companys come out with sales for a few days. I learned in Israel also, I know the ropes.

1)You cant always get your plan
2)The BB is unlimited data, it seems like the brisker does it right.
3)Is yours BB service or just reg internet?

BIS + Pelephone portal stuff (GPS music etc.)
I got it by repeatedly calling to cancel.
