Israel Country Code

Israel’s phone code is the telephone country code that is used for phone communications when a call is placed from outside of the country.

Israel’s Country Code is +972

Israel’s country code is +972. The country code is necessary only when dialing a phone number to make a telephone call from another country. International callers who wish to dial a telephone number in Israel should dial Israel’s telephone country code (+972) before the national telephone number preceded by area code.

All national phone numbers in Israel are maximum eleven digits long – a-bbb-bbbb, with a being the area code. Follow these easy steps to dial a phone number in Israel using the country code:

Step 1. Enter your country’s exit code on your phone. If you are calling from Europe please enter the 00 (or “+” sign if calling from a mobile device) or 011 if calling from the United States. American callers use the “011” exit code for all international call, including Israel.

Step 2. Dial 972, Israel’s country code.

Step 3. Then enter Israel’s area code. Don’t use the trunk code “0” when calling from outside Israel.

Step 4. Right after the area code, dial the seven digit national phone number you wish to call in Israel.

Here is an example: 

When calling from Europe: 00 972 a bbb bbbb (or +972 a bbb bbbb from a mobile device)
When calling from the United States: 011 972 a bbb bbbb

Israel’s area codes are one digit long code that are used for long-distance calling inside the country. Please do not enter the trunk “0” when calling overseas. Here are some Israel’s area codes:

If you wish to dial a phone number with these area codes from outside Israel, you would have to dial first the exit code, then Israel’s country code 972. 

For example, if you want to dial a phone number in Haifa, this would be an example of a phone number: +972 4 bbb bbbb or 00972 4 bbb bbbb, and 011 972 4 bbb bbbb if calling from the United States.

Israel’s mobile phone numbers are operated by the six largest local mobile phone companies -Pelephone, Cellcom, Partner, Hot Mobile, Golan Telecom and we4G .

The mobile phone code in Israel is 5. When dialing a mobile phone number from outside of the country, first you need to dial the exit code (for example, “011” or “+” sign if calling from the United States), then Israel’s country code “972”, plus the ten or eleven digit phone number including mobile code “5”(without the digit “0”).

For example, enter 011 972 5 bbbb bbbb or +972 5 bbbb bbbb if calling from the United States.
