A survey conducted by the Expat Insider finds that Israel provides the 6th best digital life experience in the world.
The Jewish state finishes four spots ahead of the US and only Estonia, Finland, Norway, Denmark, New Zealand are found to fare better.
Expat Insider says Israel “receives its best ratings for the unrestricted access to online services such as social media and the ease of getting a local mobile phone number (3rd worldwide for both).”
Nearly all expats in Israel (95%) rate their access to online services positively (vs. 80% globally), and 84% say it could not be any better (vs. 58% globally).
Similarly, 94% of expats in Israel find it easy to get a mobile number (vs. 86% globally), and 80% think this could not be any easier (vs. 58% globally).
Expats in Israel are not nearly as satisfied with the availability of administrative or government services online; however, the country still ranks a good 21st out of 68, with 67% positive ratings for this factor (vs. 55% globally), the Expo Insider says.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
