So, either you could activate them without going to a store, or not.
What's the question?

Texting from Israel back to the US seems to be free with this plan. What if someone from US texts you and you are in Israel? Does it go through and is there a charge for them?

No charge.
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

so for texts can use tmobile and for calls use golan since golan charges for text to US. If I dont get confused will be great system.

Had a great experience with T Mobile on 2 week trip through Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico.
Service was consistent throughout and the data is fast enough to make VOIP calls.
Will likely switch to T-Mo if it works well in my area.

Double wow.
Was considering switching from Sprint to Verizon, but now T-Mobile is in the picture as well.

I had T-Mobile for a bit, but wasn't thrilled with the coverage. Now...
