I recently got back from a 10 day trip in Israel. Let me just tell you that the coverage was perfect! I roamed onto the Orange nextwork as soon as I landed. I received a text from tmobile saying welcome to Israel and that unlimited text and data was included in my plan and $0.20 for calls. Now the data was on a 3G network throttled to 2G speeds, but the speed was perfect for Facebook, Twitter, and web browsing. The speed was also fast enough for the Vonage Mobile app. So if you want to make free calls to the US while overseas I recommend using the Vonage Mobile app. I was also able to do tethering which I thought you couldn't so that was cool.
