How can I stay in contact with my family? | Chai Tourism & Hospitality

You can stay in contact with your friends and family in the following ways:

Cellphone:

If you make use of Whatsapp, iMessage or other 3rd party messaging service, you will be able to connect using WiFi. Most hotels and busses have WiFi available free of charge.
Before leaving your county contact your mobile service provider regarding your roaming options. Please bear in mind the roaming cost can be high especially data roaming.
You can purchase an Israeli sim card in Israel if your phone is open to all networks. This will enable you to have your own cell phone number in Israel. The cost of such a sim card varies from network to network. You should be able to get a sim card for around 20-50 Shekels. Please ask the store keeper to explain the options of calling abroad.

CHAI TIP – If you have chosen roaming for your mobile whilst being away, you have to activate this service before leaving your country.

Hotels have phones in all the rooms.
You can make calls from the phone at your own cost. Please pay the bill upon check out.
You can also give your family and friends your room number at the hotel along with the telephone number of the hotel.
