There has been so much abuse by the cellular carriers that now in Israel,
they must unlock any phone they sell, at any time, for free. So they just
gave up and only sell unlocked phones.

They tried a deal where you buy a phone on your credit card in 36 payments
(to the bank) and if you make more than a minumum amount of calls in a month,
they rebate the monthly payment for the phone to you.

You could cancel at any time, or not use your phone enough, the rebates
would stop until your useage went back up again. 

The law was changed to require them to make you the same deal if you
buy the phone from them or not, so those deals are dying too. 

The newest deal is unlimited calls and unlimited SMSs (really 4,000
minutes and 4000 SMSs a month) for about $30, but you don't get any
rebates or special price for the phone.

The old deals which were 1/36 of your iPhone paid for per month in a rebate 
if you ran up $40 or more in airtime was a much better deal. :-(
