Can I pay in Israeli New Shekel?

Plans are charged in US dollars. Any Visa, Mastercard or American Express card from Israel works, and your bank converts at its own rate. The Israeli New Shekel prices on this page are estimates to help you compare.

Can my friends on phones and consoles join from Bet Shemesh?
