</div>I know that Rami Levy is just subcontracting for Pelephone, <span id="e7b7fc3d-74ba-4c90-8a5e-ddce803f8d13" class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark">HomeCellular</span> is subcontracting for Cellcom and YouPhone is subcontracting for Orange (Partner).<br>
Golan seems to be the only "real" company, willing to invest in their own infrastructure (currently have installed several hundred antennas <span id="5bcf6ac1-82c8-4ed0-96aa-403ccbdd901a" class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark">country-wide</span>) and in the <span id="d2c36568-e32c-4299-aca1-2755775e559a" class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark">mean time</span> is using Cellcom's infrastructure.<br>

(Any of them, but preferably I'd like to hear about the new companies).<br>
I've heard that text messages on Golan are unreliable (the sender is on Golan, I lack sufficient data about the receivers). Someone told me that her messages will be received at the other end with no guarantees whatsoever. Sometimes they'd be received normally, sometimes after a large delay (hours, days, in one case weeks) and often they are received jumbled (parts of two messages mashed together to form something incoherent or embarrassing). Has anybody else had this experience? Or similar experiences?<br>
</div>Thank you.<br></div>
