Israel Phone Number / VoIP FAQ's
What exactly is an Israeli virtual phone number?
An Israeli virtual phone number is a phone number that, while associated with the Israeli dialing code, can be used to receive calls anywhere in the world. Technically, these numbers come from the same government entity that provides phone numbers to landline and mobile companies in Israel.
The "virtual" part comes from the fact that the number is not tied to a specific location or device - you can direct calls to your virtual number to any device you choose, such as your mobile phone, office phone, or VoIP device. This allows you to have a local presence in Israel, regardless of where you or your business are actually located.
Can I use my Israeli FlyNumber to make international calls?
Yes, with our optional hosted PBX, you can use your Israeli FlyNumber to make international calls. This is particularly useful for businesses that want to present a local Israeli number to their customers, regardless of where the call is actually being made from.
How can I manage my business hours with my Israeli FlyNumber?
Our optional virtual phone system includes a feature called time-based routing. This allows you to route calls based on the time of day, so you could send calls to voicemail after hours or route calls to a different person on weekends. This can be particularly useful for managing incoming calls according to your business hours in Israel.
Can I set up an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system with my Israeli FlyNumber?
Yes, our optional virtual PBX allows you to set up an IVR system, also known as a call menu. This system allows callers to interact with your phone system via the telephone keypad, directing them to various destinations based on their keypress choices.
How does SIP forwarding work with an Israeli FlyNumber?
SIP forwarding allows you to direct calls from your Israeli FlyNumber to any SIP (URI/host). This means you can use one of our "easy setup" VoIP providers to receive calls. There are no additional charges for receiving calls this way - it's included in the $2.95 fee and offers unlimited incoming minutes. You can learn more about this on our VoIP information page.
Can I forward calls from my Israeli FlyNumber to a mobile or landline number?
Yes, you can forward calls from your Israeli FlyNumber to any mobile or landline number in the world. You can change the destination number at any time via the FlyNumber panel. More information about this can be found on our call forwarding page.
Can I receive text messages on my Israeli FlyNumber?
Yes, however it's limited to Israeli 055 Mobile numbers. We'll email you the texts as they come in, allowing you to stay connected in more ways than just voice calls.
Can I keep my existing Israeli number if I switch to FlyNumber?
Yes, you can port your current Israeli number to FlyNumber, allowing you to keep your existing number while enjoying the benefits of our services. Our team will guide you through the straightforward process. More info below.

- 4: Haifa and the surrounding area
- 8: Ashdod, Beersheba, and the surrounding area
- 9: Netanya, Herzliya, and the surrounding area
- Landline numbers:
- Landline phone numbers typically have 7 digits. When dialing a landline number within Israel, you'll need to use the area code followed by the 7-digit number (e.g., 02-1234567 for a Jerusalem landline).
