why a 500GB plan makes sense in Israel
500GB sounds like a lot — until you add up a month of video calls home, videos on your day off and photos from the people you love. Here's the simple math.
When your family is far away, data is your phone line home. Video calls, voice notes, photos and videos all run on data. 500GB gives you more than 16GB a day — enough to video-call every evening, watch videos on your day off and never think about running out.
In this guide
your data is your international call plan
Most international workers don't call home with regular phone calls anymore. They use WhatsApp, Messenger, LINE, Viber, IMO or WeChat. These calls are free — as long as you have data. So the size of your data package decides how often, and for how long, you can see your family.
how much data do you really use?
These are typical, approximate numbers. Your use may be a bit higher or lower:
| Activity | Approx. data per hour | 1 hour a day, for a month |
|---|---|---|
| Video call home | 0.3–1GB | 10–30GB |
| YouTube / series in HD | 1.5–3GB | 45–90GB |
| TikTok, Facebook, Instagram | 0.5–1GB | 15–30GB |
| Voice call on WhatsApp | under 0.1GB | 1–3GB |
| Maps, messages, photos | small | 3–10GB |
A real month for many of our customers looks like this: a long video call every evening, an hour or two of videos, social media in between. That alone can reach 100–200GB. With 500GB, you have room for all of it — and for the busy months, like holidays and family celebrations.
why "almost enough" isn't enough
Small data packages tend to run out at the worst moment — on your child's birthday call, or when you need maps to find a new workplace. Then you're stuck buying extra data, often at a higher price. Big, fixed packages remove that stress:
- No counting megabytes. Say yes to the long call.
- No surprise top-ups. One fixed monthly price.
- No dependence on shared Wi-Fi that's slow, unsafe or switched off.
- Room for 5G speed. When everything loads faster, you naturally use more — here's why 5G changes things.

- 500GB of high-speed data on 5G

quick answers
A WhatsApp or Messenger video call usually uses roughly 0.3–1GB per hour, depending on quality and connection. An hour every day adds up to around 10–30GB a month just for calls.
With 500GB, most people never come close to the limit — that's more than 16GB every single day. If you ever have a question about your usage, message us on WhatsApp and we'll check it for you.
Sometimes the monthly price is a little lower, but small plans often run out mid-month and push you to buy extra data. A big plan with a fixed monthly price is usually the cheaper, calmer choice over a whole year.
Not really. With 500GB and 5G, many of our customers use their phone as their main internet — no need to depend on shared Wi-Fi at work or at home.
One with enough data for a daily video call home plus videos and social media — usually 100GB or more a month — at a fixed monthly price. Qmobile includes 500GB on 5G.
