Calling Israel from Canada: what to know

Israel answers on the country code +972, with the capital in Jerusalem and most business concentrated around Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Haifa. The working language for business is Hebrew, Arabic, and local offices generally keep hours of Sunday Thursday 9:00 to 17:00. Friday is a half-day (8:00 to 13:00); Saturday is Shabbat, no calls from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown.

From Canada the outbound access code is 011, so a manual dial reads 011 then +972 then the local number. StartACall removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between Canada and Israel.

Most mobiles in Israel sit on operators such as Pelephone, Cellcom Israel, Partner Communications. Israeli business week is Sunday Thursday; calling on Saturday is a faux pas in religious circles and rarely answered anywhere.

Israel runs on UTC plus 2, and it shifts for daylight saving, so confirm the current difference before an early or late call.
