You need to have regular credit on your main account balance for roaming usage, the plans will not work while roaming.

While roaming you will only have access for calls and incoming SMS, any other service like sending SMS,MMS,DATA will not be available.

During your stay abroad you will be able to receive incoming calls and text messages, and make outgoing calls on certain networks (you cannot send text messages or to use cellular data while roaming abroad).

The roaming service will be available as long as your account has credit. Receiving incoming text messages does not entail payment on the part of the recipient. You will therefore be able to receive incoming text messages even if there is no credit left in your account balance, only with Orange you will have free incoming SMS while roaming.

Opening the line for roaming is not recommended since the fees are very high. the cost for calls are approximately 29.00 NIS for outgoing calls and 20.00 for incoming calls, all prepaid SIM cards in Israel are blocked for roaming by default therefore you will not get a signal in the outside of Israel.
