Instructions for Calling to Cell Phones in Israel
Calling a cellular phone in Israel requires that you dial an additional number. For calls from outside Israel to an Israeli cellular phone, a two-digit cellular phone prefix must be dialed between the country code and local number. The cellular phone prefixes always begin with the number 5, while the second digit depends upon the cellular phone provider. e.g. 011-972-56-xxx-xxxx. When calling a cellular phone from within Israel, just dial 0 and the cellular phone prefix before the local number. e.g. 056- xxx-xxxx.
