Adding Talk Time:
You can easily add more call time to your Israel Prepaid SIM Card. With 55 NIS recharge codes from Cellular Abroad, you can order more prepaid talk time with your order, before you leave on your trip; order via phone from abroad, through the web or even by relaying a request through a pre-designated contact in North America. Recharge MasterTalk ™ cards may also be purchased in denominations of 50, 75, 100 and 200 NIS at cellular stores, convenience stores and most post offices.

Many people enjoy the convenience of being able to purchase more talk time without having to go to a store. Busy executives, students or travelers with a busy itinerary find that ordering recharge codes from Cellular Abroad either before their trip or while on the road is a fantastic and unique service. Please let us know who will be calling-in your recharge orders if you plan on someone relaying requests for recharge codes. We'll supply the code(s) to your contact and charge your credit card. They will need to call or email you and you will still need to apply the credit yourself via your handset.
