I have never had such problems. I have had to hire a lawyer to deal with a billing problem with Bezeq International and threaten to sue Roy DIsney (who owned half of Pelephone at the time) to stop them taking me to court because of a bill I never agreed to. They then continued to bill me for a phone I canceled (but stopped sending me bills) and eventualy theatened to sue me for the money due after I closed the checking account, when their unathorized deductions finally surfaced. Orange has always been good to me an very straightforward with what they offered and the costs. Some have been higher than expected such as calling here from Holland on an Orange phone, but they were very upfront about the charges when I called and asked them to turn it on. Cell-Com is not much better a friend went in their office to change their contract phone to pay-as-you-go and they had to suffer all sorts of verbal abuse from the manager including threats of calling the police to remove them. Eventually he relented and made the change. BTW the 30ag a minute is based upon the full price being split among the phone calls. If you take the 140 NIS, drop off 20 NIS for the "box" rental, and 80 NIS for the ISP charges, then you see a much better rate.More like 40 NIS a month for 600 minutes. I just assumed that you would not buy the box without the VoIP service and would not use the line for anything else if you were not in Israel and placed it in a friend's or relative's home or office. The charges that Betamax shows do not include Internet access charges, device costs, etc, nor are there any ratings of service provided. It's just a simple list of prices scraped from web sites and may or may not be of any use. For example, they also do not include monthly fees or membership rates, etc. One could offer a rate of 1 cent a minute with a $100 a month membership rate on another page, and it would show as 1 cent.
