Answer Israeli clients from abroad
In short: You keep answering and dialling from the same business number your clients already know, with a real Israeli caller ID — from anywhere in the world, and not only on your phone: on your computer too, at the same time.

A business number is an asset, not a line on a card
Your business number is on your cards, your website, your invoices, your email signature, your Google business profile and in the contact list of every client you have ever worked with. Replacing it is not a technical update — it is losing the way clients know how to reach you.
So for a business moving abroad the question is not which new number to take, but how to carry on with the one that built your reputation.
An Israeli caller ID — so people actually answer
Outgoing calls go out from your Israeli number with a real caller ID. The client sees the number they recognise, not a foreign number most people simply do not pick up.
That is the difference between a client who answers and one who ignores the call — and in business, between a deal and a conversation that never happened.
On your computer, alongside your phone
You can work from a desktop as well as the mobile app, and use both at once — one unified interface for calls and SMS.
That is not a given in this market: desktop access is usually unavailable or limited, and using mobile and desktop in parallel is rare.
Keeping the business number separate from the local one
The local SIM you bought where you live stays what it is — data and local calls. Your Israeli business number lives in the app on top of it, and the two do not mix.
In practice that means you can give neighbours and your landlord the local number and keep the business number for work only.
Time differences and clients in Israel
Clients carry on dialling the number they know at the hours that suit them, and the call reaches you wherever you are.
Make sure notifications from the app are enabled on the device — that is the difference between a call you missed and a call you never knew about.
Business SMS in both directions
Send and receive messages from the business number — order confirmations, scheduling with clients, and the verification codes from the company's bank and credit card provider.
Frequently asked
Does it work in every country?
Yes — as long as there is an internet connection, wherever you are in the world.
What happens to my mobile plan? Will I pay twice?
No. When the service is activated we port the number into the system, which cancels the plan with your current provider, so there is no double payment for the number.
Can I answer from the computer and the phone at the same time?
Yes — you can work from both at once, in one interface for calls and SMS.
Will clients see that I am abroad?
No. Outgoing calls show your Israeli number, with no foreign prefix.
