Questions about Israel eSIMs
Can agents and employers ring me on my own number?
Keep your usual SIM switched on and they can, because calls and texts to the number on your application still arrive.
The data behind the maps, the mail and the forms comes out of the plan you chose here.
Is a week long enough to bother with a plan?
A week of appointments is exactly when a phone has to answer without a password first.
The sizes on sale here start small and what each one costs is on its own card, so a short look costs less than one missed viewing.
How do I keep a record of everything I have seen?
Photograph the room, write the address under it and send both to yourself while you are still outside the building.
A folder you can open on the flight home is worth more than a memory of four flats that all had white walls.
Will the plan hold if I take a train out of the city for a day?
It is sold as one plan for the country, which is what the coverage list on this page names, so a day out of the city changes nothing you have to set.
What a plan cannot promise is a bar every minute of the ride, so have the ticket open before you get on.
Do I need data for the forms and the paperwork?
Most of it arrives as a link and wants filling in the same afternoon, which is hard to do from a cafe you have to find first.
A plan of your own means the form opens where you happen to be sitting.
Questions about every Ryvo plan
Will it work on my phone?
Does it come with a phone number?
No.
Ryvo eSIMs are data only.
There's no phone number, and you can't make calls or send texts on the eSIM itself.
Can I keep my usual number?
Yes.
Keep your main SIM on for calls and texts, and set the eSIM as your mobile data line.
Your carrier's roaming rates still apply to calls and texts, so check them before you go.
Can I share my data as a hotspot?
It depends on the plan.
Each plan says whether hotspot is allowed before you pay.
What if I run out of data?
Add data from your order page if your plan can be topped up.
If it can't, buy another plan for the same destination.
What if my eSIM won't connect?
Email us and we'll work through it with you, starting with your phone's mobile data settings.
If we can't get it working, our refund policy explains what happens next.
Before you go
The coverage list on this page names Israel and the network your plan runs on.
It answers for the country and stops there, so a basement flat or a lift between floors is its own question on any network.
Viewings come with an address, a time and a name, and they come while you are already out.
Save each one as you take it, because a message you meant to read later is the one you cannot find at the door.
Keep a charger in the bag and a note of where you are staying somewhere other than the phone.
The one day it goes flat is the day you had three appointments.
Keep your usual SIM switched on for calls and texts, and choose the eSIM for mobile data.
