Heading to Israel for 12 days and need a lot of data (and minimal/no calling). I have an unlocked AT&T iPhone 5 (I understand my phone may not work with the Israeli LTE bands; 3G is fine.) The unlimited data plan from Golan sounds appealing, and even at 99 shekels seems a good cost compared to some other countries.

Question: during the registration process, it asks for my US passport and then an address. Does this address need to belong to me? If so, that's obviously a problem--I'd be using a hotel's address. Also, is this the address they'll mail it to, and if so, how long does it take for them to send it? I'm kinda bumping up against the last minute, here...I leave tomorrow.

If Golan won't work due to the address thing, which of the carriers will sell and register a SIM (with unlimited or at least 1-2GB of data) to me as an American with a U.S. passport? Or will any mall kiosk be able to help me? A quick skim of the wiki and other posts in this thread seem to indicate it won't be a problem, but I just wanted to check.
