OT: Cell phone service providers

[Mord Behar]

Thank you everybody for your input.
We went with Golan. One phone the 59 NIS a month unlimited plan, the other
the 10 NIS a month plan.
On the 10 NIS phone I'm trying to keep track of dropped and garbled calls,
as well as good calls. Not exactly scientific, since I forget a few and I
don't always know the carrier on the other end. But maybe it will help
somebody in the future.
