This page is a good reference, but it neglects to mention how convenient and easy it is to get a postpaid phone plan in Israel.

I walked into a mall phone store in Haifa and in about 10 minutes…


 * I bought a Golan Telecom SIM card with their unlimited calls, SMS, and data plan for ₪29/month (about $8)
 * It activated instantly with no additional setup
 * I paid directly with my (foreign) credit card

The plan can be cancelled at any time from the online account management, which is accessible in English. My understanding is that Israeli consumer protection law forbids long-term contracts from mobile phone providers.

With such low prices and easy access, a postpaid phone plan may make sense for even a short visit to Israel. I've been very happy with Golan Telecom — faster LTE data than I get at home from Sprint.
