Israel is a small country in Western Asia, with a population of over 8 million people. If you are in the United States and ever need to call one of them, or need to call a business or service located in Israel, the process is simple.

Quick Steps

  1. Dial 011, which is the United States exit code, to initiate the call.
  2. Dial 972, which is the country code for Israel.
  3. Enter the single-digit area code followed by the seven-digit phone number.

    Depending on which state and time zone you are calling from, this may vary from 6-9 or 7-10 hours (during Daylight Savings Time) behind Israel time.
    • For a quick solution to determining the time difference, you can search for "time in (location)" through Google, and it'll give you the current time.

      Warnings

      • Calling Israel directly from your phone in the United States can be very expensive. Ideally, you should do so only in an emergency or if you have no other option, but investing in a phone card for the call or even calling over the internet (e.g. via Skype or Google Voice) will be much cheaper.
