B"H iPhones and other important electronics

Cellular phone stores in Israel charge about $20.00 to make an American iPhone work here.  A sim card is then purchased seperately from one of the cellular providers for another $20.00 and you can pay by th eminute (about 15 cents) or you can get into a plan, as in America.  They don't yet have the iPhone 4G available, but soon enough they say.  My old 2G iPhone seems to  be  working well, but I'm still fine tuning the Skype.  Perhaps the issue is that the software said it really doesn't run on my antique model.  More to come, in this regard.  If you decide to reside in Jerusalem there is a cellular company named Orange located on the main strip on Ben Yehuda Street.  Hadar is an English speaker that has helped me to get the cell working and arranged for my home internet service as well.  You can get a three month contract for a wireless usb card, just until you get on your feet. This is ready in one day, as compared to waiting for the installation of the home internet which is going to be done on two seperate days.  One day is by a company called Bezeq that installs the hardware through the walls and the second day is by the provider...in our case, Orange.  There is also Hotz and Smile123.
