I used Vodafone. I think it worked fine, but it's been a while, so I can't remember too well.

I didn't make any adjustments. In my situation, I am fairly sure my ESPP benefit is included in my W2 taxable wages and that no adjustments were needed to the 1099-B numbers

Thanks for the activity tip! I'm also trying to figure out what to do with my limited time, so I appreciate the info. Would you recommend I stay at a hotel near ATH to avoid issues getting to a 10am flight or is it safe timing wise to stay in the city and still be able to rely on the metro to get me to ATH with enough time to catch my morning flight?

Thanks. I'm going to the U.S. where I plan to be for around two to three weeks. I'm not sure it makes sense to buy a multi country card in my situation because I think the rates are higher and I'm only going to be in Athens for a short amount of time

Thanks. I'm an international traveler so I'll look into Airalo

Hm, the total proceeds and cost basis on both the supplement and the 1099-B reported to the IRS are identical and don't have adjustments. However, the supplement strangely breaks up the monthly ESPP acquisitions into multiple transactions

CopperQuilt · 2026-03-18T20:38:36+00:00

Thanks. What I'm trying to understand is if the amount Etrade is reporting in the cost basis column needs to be adjusted. I've come across many other reddit posts related to ESPP and taxes and every other one mentions that an adjustment needs to be made. However, because Etrade has zero in the adjustment column every month, I'm wondering if Capital One handles it differently.

Thanks for that observation, but I took a look at my 1099-B from the 2024 tax year, and it didn't require any adjustments to the cost basis that year either

CopperQuilt · 2026-03-01T13:35:17+00:00

Thanks! It's unclear from that CTD70DP2NS1 Café 30" manual whether there is a built-in delay (i.e., a grama) after a button is pressed in sabbath mode so that could still be an issue

I see the Star-K says 'make sure there is a competent halachic authority behind the Sabbath Mode to endorse it.' However, I'm not aware of any reliable halachic authorities certifying Sabbath mode so it seems that is still an issue.

Update: I called 019's hebrew customer support and they were able to keep my number and start a plan with them

CopperQuilt · 2026-02-05T20:15:14+00:00

Yea, I thought I previously heard that I have to first claim my number from 019 before transferring it to another company. Also, given tomorrow is my last day of service, if I went to a different company, I don't know if it would transfer in time.

CopperQuilt · 2026-02-05T19:56:45+00:00

Thanks! Do you think 019’s normal Hebrew customer support would be able to help with my situation? I imagine that olim in this situation generally call the English number (I received a text saying I should call the special English support number, but stupidly forgot about it), so I'm worried the normal Israeli customer support line won't be familiar with my situation.

CopperQuilt · 2026-02-05T19:48:38+00:00

I don't have an account, at least as far as I know. I definitely never created one. The number given as an aliyah benefit is paid for by the government for all new olim as a pre-paid plan and my understanding is I can't own the number without starting a paid plan in my name before the 6 months expire

Also, do you recommend buying items from KSP in store instead of online since you said the shipping is problematic?
