Why Israeli Expats Need a Virtual Israeli Number
When you leave Israel, you lose your Israeli mobile number — and with it, access to Israeli banks, government services, health funds (Kupat Holim), family contacts, and businesses that only call local numbers. Roaming is expensive. A local SIM abroad won’t receive Israeli calls.
An Israeli virtual number solves this permanently: you get a real Israeli number (02, 03, 04, 05x, or 07x) that rings on your existing phone wherever you are — whether in the US, UK, Germany, Australia, or anywhere else in the world.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I keep my Israeli phone number when I move abroad?
Yes. IsraelNumber provides Israeli virtual numbers that are independent of any SIM card or physical location. You receive calls on your existing phone wherever you are in the world — just set up call forwarding to your local number or a SIP app.
What is the best Israeli number type for an expat?
An Israeli mobile number (05x prefix) is the most versatile option for expats: it receives calls and SMS, works for WhatsApp registration, and is accepted by Israeli banks and government services for two-factor authentication. Geographic numbers (02/03/04) are better if you want to project a specific city presence.
Can I receive SMS and 2FA codes from Israeli banks on a virtual Israeli number?
Yes, on Israeli mobile virtual numbers (050–058 prefix). These numbers receive SMS messages which are forwarded to your email or accessible via API. Most Israeli banks and services send OTP codes via SMS to the registered mobile number.
How do I receive calls on my Israeli number when abroad?
You have several options: forward to your local mobile number abroad (standard call forwarding), use a free SIP softphone app (Zoiper, Bria, Linphone) on your smartphone to receive calls over the internet at no cost, or forward to any phone number in any country.
Do I need an Israeli address or SIM card to get a number?
No. IsraelNumber provides virtual numbers to customers in any country. No Israeli address, Israeli SIM card, or Israeli bank account is required. Signup is fully online and the number is activated within minutes.
Can I use an Israeli virtual number for WhatsApp registration?
Israeli mobile virtual numbers (05x) can receive SMS, which is required for WhatsApp registration. However, WhatsApp approval for virtual numbers is not guaranteed and depends on WhatsApp’s policies at the time of registration. We recommend testing with a free trial before purchasing for this specific purpose.
Is there a contract or minimum commitment?
No contracts. The service operates on a monthly subscription basis. You can cancel anytime without penalties.
Can I have multiple Israeli numbers — for example, one personal and one for business?
Yes. You can have multiple Israeli numbers on one account. Each number can have its own forwarding destination, IVR menu, voicemail, and settings.
What happens if I travel between multiple countries?
You can update your forwarding destination at any time from your account portal. Switch it to your current local number or leave it pointing to a SIP app that works everywhere — no need to change anything when you travel.
