OT: Cell phone service providers

[Rabin Yasharzadehe]

I change my wife plan from Cellcom -> Golan (late 2011-2012), and she was
complaining about the reception & some times a call will drop (we live in
Jerusalem/PisgatZeev)
I was on Rami-Levi at that time, and i didn't have this problem, and I was
satisfied with the Internet speed most of the time (tethering & mobile).

Then we both move (most of 2012-2013) to YouPhone - with better reception,
same Internet performance in my case.
And when the deal was over, and both switched back to Rami-Levi (less
expensive 50 NIS/mo for a year) , And one again I have bad reception in
some places, but nothing that will make me want to pay more.
