An amendment to the communications regulations published this weekend for public comment seeks to allow cellular companies to offer "premium services" Kosher cell phones are mostly common among the ultra-Orthodox and religious community. A kosher cell phone is a device that does not contain advanced features and is not connected to the Internet, which may expose its owner to inappropriate or offensive content.

The new regulations are intended to replace regulation 67 of the general permit regulations concerning the "prohibition of providing a premium service"
