The Five web site is on air, inviting users to join a trial, and cell phone businesses to sell their products.
A number of cell phones with Five SIM cards were distributed to school children in the town of Sderot several weeks ago and a country wide trial will follow in February. Commercial distribution of SIM cards is expected around April 2012.
The most interesting feature of the Five SIM card will be a dynamic IMSI number: Upon detecting a SIM roaming on a roaming partner's network, the SIM card will be assigned a local IMSI, allowing very cheap roaming services, as the line will be recognized as local by the host network.
