Free Mobile removes homelessness costs from Israel

Like the previous ones, this new destination pass has several conditions.Only subscribers whose seniority is more than 60 days, can benefit from it, for a period limited to 35 days per calendar year.For no additional cost, it includes unlimited calls, SMS and MMS from Israel to Israel and Metropolitan France.The mobile internet on 3G network can be used within the limit of 3GB (reduced flow beyond).

Even if Free Mobile removes roaming costs gradually, country by country, it stands out today from its competitors, taking an interest in Israel.The other operators focused on Europe and the DOM, while Free selects specific destinations.But why Israel?

Xavier Niel has never hidden his interest in Israel.After the launch of Free Mobile in France, the businessman renewed the same experience in May 2012 with the operator Golan Telecom, of which he is a shareholder with Mickaël Golan (formerly Boukobza), his former right arm at IliD.By buying a fifth License of Mobile Operator for 73 million euros, the two men shaken up the market by dividing the Israelis bill by two.So if Free Mobile includes roaming today in Israel, is it out of love of the country, that Xavier Niel describes as "very impressive and very technologically advanced", or to satisfy a need for the French who regularly travel in the Middle East?

In any case, this new destination pass is very good news for those concerned, because the prices charged by other operators remain very high.Communications from Israel to metropolitan France at Bouygues Telecom, Orange and SFR are at the rate of:
