Will Visa money card work in Israel?
I am sending my relative a Visa money card to Israel. Will he be able to get money out of ATM over there. Or is it better to send cash? What is the best way to mail a camera to him. Fed Ex or Insured Mail Us Postal Mail? What kind of customs do you have to pay for it..Thanks for any help about this...

Sorry about the *&$$*# from these giving an answer before me. A regular thing on this site, children will be children. A Visa money card can be used in any bank that has an ATM. Most bank do. Cameras can be bought here for allmost the same amount it costs in the US, some samples and prices on this site. http://www.topmarket.co.il/index.php?categoryID=115&sort=Price&direction=DESC

Visa works everywhere

Actualy - the Visa money card is a great way to send cash to Israel. Visa is accepted in Israel and at Israeli banks. Good Luck!!!

He will be able to use an ATM. Don't send cash. Fed Ex Insured Mail, definitely. If you want to be sure, contact the bank in advance to tell them that he will be using this card from Israel. Otherwise, they may see a foreign country on the transaction, think he stole someone's identity, and confiscate the card. Good luck to you and your relative.

use western union http://www.westernunion.com/info/selectCountry.asp very easy and efficient do it fast before Israel will disappear

I just got back from Israel and used my Visa debit card quite a bit there. I found a few atms that right when you put the card in it would say "card not accepted here". No problem I would just go to another one. Before I went to Israel I had called my bank and they told me if for some reason I had trouble using it I could go to almost any bank there and and ask them to get money off my card. In short about 7 of 10 machines took my card.

Yes you will need to use the Leumi banks because they are the ones that work with VISA. I think you'll probably be able to use some other banks, but since the Leumi debit cards have VISA logos on them I would think it would be more reliable to use their ATMs. Also, western union is a good way to send money and there is normally one in most post offices around the country. The best way to get a camera or any gift to someone is to bring it in like it's not a present, like it belongs to you then just don't leave with it.

wait i thought aim stood for aol instant messenger?? i dont think it would work, cuz i tried aim while i was in england and it didn't work, but my grandparent's computer was crap so maybe that was the problem... but if not, just use email...its not THAT baddd :]

I live in the U.S. I have a friend who lives in Israel. She works for a U.S. company. Her Mac notebook was purchased in the states, and is loaded with U.S. software. We chat frequently online. Your computer, WiFi and software will work. I have another acquaintance who travels back and forth from France, and again, no problems. The only thing that would create problems for you is the modem, if you wanted to connect via phone line.

Well the thing is if your bringing your own laptop it shouldn't really matter too much. Being in Israel wouldn't affect your laptop, and the only thing it could really affect would be your ability to connect to the internet. If you have a wireless internet card in your laptop, and their is accessible internet where you are, you should be able to connect to your AIM just like always. It should be the same everywhere if your using your own laptop. Only thing to worry about is a power cord for your laptop that works with their sockets, and an ability to connect to the internet.
4 :
As long as it is installed on a computer and the firewall does not block it, of course it will work. If it doesn't, simply use the Web-based AIM messenger - no need for software.
5 :
Absolutely. I brought my laptop there, and AIM worked. As did all of my other internet related programs. If you're in a hotel you shouldn't have much problem finding internet, but if your renting an apartment or something similar you should call up just to make sure! Have fun!

Technically you can, however at&t is now requiring a 2-year activation in the store when you buy your new iPhone. Also you would have to unlock it, and you might have to wait a little bit until someone figures that out than you have to find out how to unlock it in order to use it in a different country. It's a little bit of a hassle but yes you can.
2 :
That's would not work because the iphone is going to be in the wrong bandwidth, US phones use the GSM 850/1800/1900 band where as isreal supports the GSM 900/1800/1900 band. You're basically not going to get any signal in isreal!!!
