Does the fairphone 2 work in Israel? Someone any experience?

[idoreshe]

Hello,
I am starting a group of mass consumers to purchase the fairphone 2 in my country (Israel). I need to know 100% - are the fairphones 2 compatible with the networks in my country ?

What should I ask my service providers in Israel to know that for sure ?
Thanks and all the best,
Ido

Hello,
please take a look at this thread:

FP2 Mobile Data use in Israel not working

Hi all I am in Israel currently and my FP2 doesn’t connect to the internet on mobile data. Even thought it says that it receives 4G? SMS and calls are working fine. Two SIM cards are inserted right now, but even with just the one, it doesn’t work. Mobile Data, roaming is on, preferred SIM card is set, tried a few different APN’s… What could it be? Thank you, Lara [image][image][image][image][image]

Maybe @Letmino can share his furterh experience with his phone in Israel.
And according to the page https://willmyphonework.net/ everything should work fine with Orange

Since you are planning to buy a lot of devices, I recommend you get in contact with Fairphone directly and discuss things like warranty and replacement parts with them.

@idoreshe When you are confident about the technical requirement, I would be glad to see you continue with this adventure. In that case, please simply start a new topic in the #community category.

You can find more info about FP2 and Israel by searching the forum for “Israel”. @Andrew_Deutsch might be interested to get in touch.

Shalom Ido,

I cannot imagine why it would not be compatible with networks here.
As far as I know it should work just like any other phone.

I have been using Fairphone 1 here with no problems for several years (Golan and Cellcom).

Lehit,
Andrew
