How to call an American Cell phone from the USA that will be in Israel?

Question

I am traveling to Israel next week and am taking my Verizon Cell phone with me to use. I was told that the CDMA will work over there. My number is 302-593-XXXX, how would someone call me from the USA while I am in Israel?

Thank you!

Answer 1

011 gets you out of the US. 972 is Israel's country code. Then they'd call the number. Except how will your US number be accessed by the Israeli companies that work the cell towers there, & use an Israeli formatted number? Does Verizon have a deal with Cellcom, Pelephon or Orange (some companies have made international deals)? If so it will work, IF your phone is tri or quad frequency and picks up the 1700 or 900 (you'll have to google for what israel uses) frequencies the towers use there. Also those deals tend to be $2-8 Dollars a min after roaming costs!



Alternatlively if your phone will work on the frequency, but your carrier won't you can buy a sim card. Your phone will need to be unlocked (lots of sites talk about this, and some you can unlock yourself.) Otherwise it won't accept a non-verizon phone card. They are sold at the mall (canyon). Topup cards are sold everywhere, but I was told (not sure correctly) that I needed a different kind of card from the mall that was a pre-paid plan card, not a top up card for an already active plan.



Alternatively, you can rent a phone at the airport for around $20 month that's 25-30 cents a min. Not cheap, but do-able. With free incoming calls in most cases (check with the company) so you can call home, and have them call you back using a calling card. A card from uniontelecard.com has good rates, around 2 cents US to landlines and 10 cents to cell phones.



Add: Uniontelcard is all purchaseable and usable from online, so no shipping or waiting times involved. I don't work for them, just happen to find the product helpful to me.

He/She's asking how someone from US would call him, not how he would call the US.

You would need an Isreal sim, because Isreal doesn't have American Phone Towers. Once you get your new sim and put it into your phone, call your USA number (with some type of plan in which you wil have to have international calling).
