didn't want to start a new thread but hope this one is right one to post in. I'll be travelling to Europe in near future and need a plan for phone calls both incoming and outgoing. I have an inactivated smartphone which I can add service to or I can rent a phone by day. I basically just need phone calls. Text and data r a bonus. I'd like to know what my best option is. I'll b visiting England Italy Greece Venice and Hungary if that matters regarding coverage. Any help appreciated

what phone service do you have now?
 But if you want to use that to call numbers in the country your in, it might be worth to load you GV account with some funds and use your phone like that, assuming you have data globally like tmobile and sprint? 

 Yes get a GV account set up and forward all calls to your GV number and enjoy your phone service in Europe as well you can set up another GV account to use your regular phone number to make out going calls while using your American number and ppl know who's calling it's a setting on GV where you can choose who and which number should be used for outbound caller ID.

Where do you have the option to set the outbound caller ID to your regular number?

Where do you have the option to set the outbound caller ID to your regular number?
Can only be done on a gv account that has no gv number connected to it. And on that account go to settings on Hangouts then the email account it's under, and go to the option where it says outbound caller ID and then will ask you to verify the number, enter the number you want to use and that's it. So you could be in Europe or Israel and make a call using outbound caller ID with your US number and then ppl can call you on your American number by setting up call forwarding to the gv number.
 Make sure to set the call forwarding before you leave America as some services like Sprint won't work on your end to set up call forwarding, you would need to try online or call them. While T-Mobile works fine to set up call forwarding even abroad. Hope the info helps.

Traveling to Israel in the next couple of months. I will only be there for a week. I am thinking that I don't need to get a local SIM card, as I probably will not be making too many phone calls, and I can use my included data and wifi to call with WhatsApp.

Will that work? Is there any benefit to getting an Israeli sim card?

Unless you need high speed data, you will be fine. I haven't got an extra plan since I started with T-mobile, and have never needed more. Data is a bit slow, but good enough for calls and whatsapp

Memories last forever, make them while you can.

so you can call Israeli numbers unless you add money to a calling card or gv.

I've used the International data Pass with up to 512 MB of high-speed data and unlimited calling for just $5 a day.
