Can you please bring me a can of Old Bay? We’re almost out, and I use it all the time. Thanks.
As far as cell phones, you have several options:
1. You can rent a cell phone or SIM card at Ben Gurion airport. There’s a booth in the arrivals hall. If you choose to rent a SIM card, you MUST call your cell provider BEFORE you leave the U.S. to verify that your phone is unlocked!
2. You can stick with using your phone only when there’s WiFi. This option won’t let you make or receive calls, unless you have WhatsApp.
3. You can contact your cell provider in the U.S. and see if they have a reasonably priced international plan that includes calls and data.
If you’re here for 2 weeks, make sure you do things outside of Yerushalayim. Despite what most tourists think, there is life outside the Holy City!
