How to dial a number in Israel from anywhere: the dialling helper.

Test a pattern

Tick the line types you accept, copy the combined pattern, and paste numbers to see which range each one falls in. Numbers are reduced to their national digits first (no spaces, no +972, no trunk prefix 0); nothing leaves your browser.

^(?:55(?:4(?:0[0-4]|10|6[015-9])|57[0-289]|8[06][0-2])\d{4}|5(?:(?:[0-2][02-9]|[36]\d|[49][2-9]|8[3-7])\d|5(?:01|2\d|3[0-3]|4[3-5]|5[0-25689]|6[6-8]|7[0-267]|8[7-9]|9[1-9]))\d{5}|153\d{8,9}|29[1-9]\d{5}|(?:2[0-8]|[3489]\d)\d{6})$

Walk the prefixes

Type the first digits of a number in national form, or tap them: the operators holding blocks under those digits, then the block a full prefix falls in. 58 blocks held by 21 operators are on record.

Cheat sheet

Line types and their regular expressions

Match each pattern against the national significant number: digits only, without the trunk prefix 0 and without +972. The patterns follow the national numbering plan and are anchored here.

^(?:55(?:4(?:0[0-4]|10|6[015-9])|57[0-289]|8[06][0-2])\d{4}|5(?:(?:[0-2][02-9]|[36]\d|[49][2-9]|8[3-7])\d|5(?:01|2\d|3[0-3]|4[3-5]|5[0-25689]|6[6-8]|7[0-267]|8[7-9]|9[1-9]))\d{5})$

^(?:153\d{8,9}|29[1-9]\d{5}|(?:2[0-8]|[3489]\d)\d{6})$

^(?:1(?:255|80[019]\d{3})\d{3})$

^(?:7(?:280[01]|38(?:[05]\d|8[0-358])|8(?:33|55|77|81)\d)\d{4}|7(?:18|2[23]|3[237]|47|6[258]|7\d|82|9[2-9])\d{6})$

^(?:1700\d{6})$

^(?:1212\d{4}|1(?:200|9(?:0[0-2]|19|9\d))\d{6})$

^(?:1599\d{6})$

^(?:151\d{8,9})$

Carrier prefix blocks

The operator each prefix block was allocated to, in national form, from the published allocation records for +972. Numbers are portable, so this is the original allocation, not necessarily the carrier serving a number today.

Questions developers ask

How many digits does a phone number in Israel have?

Mobile numbers have 9 national digits. Fixed line numbers have 8 or 11 or 12 national digits (7 when dialled locally). That is the national number, without the country code +972 and without the trunk prefix 0.

What is the country code for Israel?

+972. From abroad, dial your own exit code, then 972, then the national number without its trunk prefix 0.

Which prefixes are mobile numbers in Israel?

Mobile numbers start with 05 in national form; the mobile regular expression on this page gives the exact ranges (example: 050-234-5678). The carrier table shows which prefix blocks were allocated to which operator.

Can a mobile number in Israel be ported to another carrier?

Yes. Israel has mobile number portability, so a prefix tells you the carrier a number was originally allocated to, not necessarily the one serving it today. Only a live carrier lookup (an HLR or MNP query) answers that.
