Buy an Israeli Virtual Phone Number

This page is for businesses that want to be reachable in Israel without opening a local office. Whether you are selling to Israeli consumers, partnering with Israeli technology companies, or supporting Israeli customers, an Israeli virtual phone number lets you present a local identity while keeping your operations international.

Israel is one of the world’s most innovative economies, often called the “Startup Nation.” With a population of around 9.8 million, the country produces more startups per capita than almost any other nation. Tel Aviv is a global technology hub, and Israeli companies are leaders in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, fintech, agritech and biotech. An Israeli phone number gives your business direct access to this dynamic market.

When an Israeli customer sees a local Tel Aviv or Jerusalem number, they recognise it as a domestic call. They pay standard Israeli rates and feel confident they are dealing with a business that serves the Israeli market. That recognition translates into higher answer rates, more enquiries and stronger business relationships.

Israel has strong international trade and investment links, particularly in technology, financial services, defence and life sciences. Many Israeli companies have operations globally, and international investors are active in the Israeli startup ecosystem. Free trade agreements ensure preferential market access.

The time zone is IST (UTC+2), just two hours ahead of GMT. During daylight saving time, the difference is the same or just one hour, depending on Israeli daylight saving. This near-alignment makes Israel one of the most convenient Middle Eastern markets to serve from abroad — real-time phone calls during normal business hours are entirely practical.

English is widely spoken in Israeli business. Most professionals, particularly in the technology and finance sectors, are fluent in English. Hebrew is the official language, but the business environment is highly international, and international companies will find communication straightforward.

Israel is a bridge between Europe and the wider Middle East. A presence in Israel positions your business in one of the region’s most developed and internationally connected economies. Israel’s technology sector has deep links with Silicon Valley, London, Berlin and Singapore, making it a hub for global innovation networks.

For businesses in technology, cybersecurity, investment, pharmaceuticals or defence, an Israeli phone number is often essential. Israeli companies and investors expect to be able to reach their partners on a local number, and a Tel Aviv 03 number signals that your business takes the Israeli market seriously.

Toll-free 1-809 — Free for callers from any Israeli phone. Best for customer service lines, support desks and enquiry lines where you want to remove any cost barrier for the caller. A worldwide address is accepted.

National 77 — A non-geographic number that works across all of Israel. Not tied to any city, making it ideal for businesses that serve the entire country rather than a specific region. A worldwide address is accepted.

Local geographic — Region-specific numbers that carry a recognisable area code. A 3 number says Tel Aviv, a 2 says Jerusalem, a 4 says Haifa. Best for businesses targeting specific cities or wanting to appear locally established. A worldwide address is accepted.

All Israeli number types accept a worldwide address, making Israel one of the simplest countries to set up. No Israeli address or local entity required.

Israeli numbers use a trunk prefix 0 for domestic calls, followed by the area code and subscriber number. When displaying internationally, drop the 0 and add the country code +972:

Local example (Tel Aviv): 03 123 4567 domestically, +972 3 123 4567 internationally

National example: 077 123 4567 domestically, +972 77 123 4567 internationally

Toll-free example: 1-809-123-456 domestically

On your website, always show the international format with +972 so both Israeli and international visitors can dial correctly. In advertising targeting Israeli audiences, use the domestic format with the trunk prefix 0.

You choose an Israeli number — toll-free 1-809, national 77 or local geographic — and tell us where to forward calls. We activate the number, typically within one business day. When someone in Israel dials your number, the call routes through our network and reaches you on your landline, mobile or VoIP system. The caller pays standard Israeli rates (or nothing, for toll-free) and your team answers as if they were in Tel Aviv.

You manage everything through your online account: change forwarding destinations, set opening hours, configure a phone menu or enable voicemail. No hardware, no installation, no Israeli office required.
