<p dir="ltr">Yeah, by "true unlimited" I was talking about Internet, not voice. I meant unlimited data without throttling for going over an arbitrary 3G limit. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Because of the nature of my job, I only have access to a landline on weekends so I have to watch my usage very carefully not to go over the limit and have my main source of Internet access slow to a crawl. I currently pay 100 shekels a month, I could easily be persuaded to up that to 200 or 300 shekels a month for a never-throttle plan so that I can watch YouTube and listen to Internet radio in peace. </p>

As far as I'm concerned, Golan should be the default. I call and am called by relatives in the US so their price and features are unbeatable. Their service is great and so is the online control panel.<br>
<br>
I haven't had problems with SMS with Golan, but honestly, these days everyone uses Whatsapp anyways. I do sometimes suffer from dropped calls, but it's not that big a deal.<br>
<br>
The only carrier I could imagine switching to is Orange, since they're going to put up their LTE network soon enough, but without a true unlimited option under Orange, what's the point?<br>
<br>
The only thing I could really ask from Golan is to stay competitive with LTE and allow me to pay more for a true unlimited plan.<br>

I agree 100%. It so happens that there is a Cellcom cell about 200 meters from my home and a Golan one about 1km away. My 2g phone connects to the Cellcom cell, my 3g phones and iPads connect to the Golan one.<br>
<br>
Ari, I'm not sure what you mean by a true unlimited plan. Golan's 3g of data is small compared to a landline, and I'd love to see more, but their "fair use" limit of 3,000 minutes a month (100 minutes a day, every day) is a brain cooker.<br>
