Hi User,

Pre-paid SIM cards in Israel do not need ID registration. So when you get the SIM card simply put it into your device,add credit or a package plan from a mobile phone shop,coveneince store,or even supermarkets and post offices. Just tell them what package you want,give them your Israeli mobile number,pay the cashier and viola you plan/credit is instantly added. Prepaid SIM cards are valid forever as long as one uses it once per year. Make a call,send SMS,or using data will extend the expiration date to another year. Of course you can down grade the plan to data only,but that does not make sense if your father does not use data. An alternative way is to credit instead of a prepaid package plan. You can just recharge eg 50 NIS to your prepaid SIM and have a father call anyone instead. That way, your number is retained forever and just use it once per year. So the next time you return to Israel the line will still be active. Post paid may be cheaper,but be aware that it may contain some type of commitment.Read those contracts carefully. Hopes this helps.
