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.

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.
