Other Information
Delivery/Pickup
You will receive your cell phone upon arrival at Ben Gurion airport at the group buses area. The group delivery service is FREE of charge. You will receive your cell phone number via e-mail approximately 3 days prior to your scheduled departure date.
We will arrange a pickup of your phone at Ben Gurion airport prior to your scheduled departure time. The group pickup service is FREE of charge. Every phone will come with a padded return envelope for easy return at the end of the trip.
All cell phones come fully charged with an Israeli wall charger and are ready to use upon arrival in Israel.
Extending your cell phone rental end date
You may extend your cell phone rental beyond the scheduled group return date by simply indicating your departure date from Israel on the order form. If you unsure as to whether you will be staying longer than the group, then simply put in the group's departure date on the order form and call us during your trip to let us know when you plan to extend until. We will then update your contract end date in our database and your calling rates will remain the same until you depart Israel.
If you do extend your stay in Israel, you will be able to return your cell phone using the padded return envelope at the Ben Gurion airport post office located just before security after baggage check-in. (The fee for using the return envelope is $5).
Billing/Deposit
The billing cycle ends on the 20th of each month and will receive an itemized bill via e-mail at the beginning of the following month for all call usage up until the 20th of the month prior. This will be charged to the credit card number provided by you around this date. Please bear in mind, that many programs run through several billing cycles and you may get more than one bill depending on your program's dates.
All phone rentals will be charged a $39 deposit upon the order being received by the cellphone provider ("Talk 'n' Save") and will be credited back to you on your last bill. The purpose of the deposit is to ensure that the credit card given is valid for billing purposes.
