Just as a follow-up to Hetz's announcement of new internet packages
from cell providers, I'll share my experience.
I went to Orange yesterday and asked them to switch me from my 200MB
package to the 5GB one mentioned. The rep told me it was a smart move
because it's the same price! 80 shekels.
But then he went into the computer to switch me, and a warning popped
up that he's not allowed to do it. He asked the manager, who said it
appears that even though it's advertised, the package is not yet
allowed to be added to any plans. he said I should call the Orange
Data Services number and they could add it when it's available.
So I called them when I got home, and they said it's only for a modem,
not for a phone. I explained that I have an iPhone and that I can
easily use the same data plan as a laptop. She said that would be
fine, and went to switch me, but then apologized and said she
couldn't. It can only go for a modem, she said. I told her how
ridiculous I thought that was, and asked "what if I use my phone as a
modem to connect my laptop to the internet?" She agreed with me, but
was powerless to change it.
So no 5GB plan for me. If anyone else has more luck, let me know!
