Talk'n'Save - still #1 for students!

Did you know Talk'n'Save is going into its 10th year of being the BEST phone plan for students in Israel?

Back in 1999, Talk'n'Save was the new cell phone company on the market - but even in our first year, what we heard from customers was, "Finally - my child can have the security of great cellular service in Israel WITHOUT the huge price tag! Thank you Talk'n'Save!"

Every year since then, Talk'n'Save's student plans have just gotten better and better - better prices for the type of calls you make the most, better service when and where you need us most, and more options to suit students on every kind of budget.

If you haven't yet done so, please see our special deals for students coming to Israel for the year. Note our newest package plans! Pay as little as 4.9 cents per minute for ALL YOUR CALLS to the USA, Canada AND Israel! (UK landlines too!). We're offering more packages than last year too - all the way up to 3000 outgoing minutes per month!

On a tight budget? For a limited time only, we're offering a 150 minute package for... free! Really! Just pay the rental / line fee, and don't pay anything more for up to 150 minutes of local AND international calls!

Like to study on the phone? We're offering in-school packages this year (where for fractions of a penny you can have more minutes just to call other students in your school!).

Did you know that more than 90 schools in Israel recommend Talk'n'Save to their students? Schools like AJ, Bar Ilan, Be'er Miriam, Derech, Hebrew U, KBY, Machon Maayan, Mevaseret (YSMZ), Michlalah, Michlelet Esther, MMY, Ner Yaakov, Ohr Dovid, OJ, Reishit, Shaalvim, Sharfman's, TJ... the list goes on!

The best cell phone company for students in Israel is still Talk'n'Save!

There's so much to tell - we're still offering great Keep'n'Touch virtual US numbers for cell phones, offering new phone models like the Nokia 6288, the Motorola z3 and v9... and we'll be offering more choices for customers who make lots of calls to Europe and Australia too.

So stay tuned, and have an AMAZING year in Israel... with Talk'n'Save!

DIRECT DIALING - yippee!

Finally, the big news... now, all customers can make ALL their calls... dialing direct!

Talk'n'Save is now easier to use than ever!

Veteran Talk'n'Save customers have loved our great rates, amazing customer service - but the dialing methods haven't always been the most convenient to learn or use. Our most frequent comment from customers...
"make it easy!"

So... we have!

Now - dial direct for all calls in Israel (just dial the number - and go!). Dial direct for all international calls (just dial 00 or press +, the country code and the number!).

No codes, no prefixes, no hassle. Now it's REALLY simple to talk... and save!

Talk'n'Save is committed to being your cell phone company in Israel, and we're so excited that our service is just getting better and better!

Remember, each plan has different rates for calling different locations. You will ALWAYS pay more if you dial internationally through any network besides 00 (for example, NEVER dial through 012, 013, 014, 015 and so on). If you need to check your current rates or have any other questions... just ask!

Exciting updates coming soon!

As we said last time, next week we will have exciting news about how the Talk'n'Save service works.

Unfortunately, though, as a result of our lines being upgraded, Cellcom (our provider) is going to be resetting all existing voice mail accounts on Monday, July 21, 2008. That means all existing outgoing and incoming messages will be erased, and passwords will revert to the default.

Please plan accordingly, and we apologize for the inconvenience! But like construction dust, wait until you see what the final product will be!

Watch for us at the Salute to Israel Parade!

As we're sure all our friends in the greater NY area know, the Salute to Israel Parade is coming up in just a couple of days!

This year's parade celebrates Israel's 60th anniversary, and all the advances that Israel has made over the past 60 years.

Watch out for the marching students of Shulamith High School, who decided to highlight Israel's contributions to the worldwide cellular phone revolution - and how better to do that than with Talk'n'Save?! They will be carrying our banners and giving out Talk'n'Save freebies along the parade route, so be sure to watch out for them and give them a rousing hand of applause!

While Talk'n'Save is conveniently available to serve you in NY, we're based in Israel. When you choose Talk'n'Save, you can shop locally while supporting Israel!

Enjoy the parade, and remember - when you need to rent a phone for Israel... Talk'n'Save is leading the way!
