You are right - you may get the two months free promotion, at least with an Israeli credit card, I am not sure about the promotion when using a foreign one, although no restriction is posted on the site. As SIM cards can be purchased at most "Bug" computer stores, which means most major shopping malls and centers, and activated on the spot this should not be an obstacle.

Israeli regulations for cellular services are very consumer friendly - no contract commitment of any sort is allowed, nubbers ported within 30 min. from activation, phones should be SIM free (and old, SIM locked should be unlocked on customer's demand), surfing is net neutral, which means no restriction on VoIP calls etc.

Theoretically Orange's maximum surfing speed is 42 Mbps, compared with Golan's 21 Mbps. As I do not use netsticks, and the phones used by my family are restrivted to theoretical 7.2 Mbps I never bothered to check the actual speeds.

Data packages are for local use only. Roaming packages are offered to postpaid subscribers, but are very expensive.
