Cheap Calls to Israel

Internet search done Sept 2007

Unless noted, rates are per minute, rounded up to one minute, with no monthly fee.

CC indicates dial-around services: you dial a local or 800 number to connect to the service, then dial the Israel number. Rates do not include the local call.

PC services use the internet for the first segment: you dial from your PC, using the PC's microphone and speaker.

Most of these services also offer cheap rates in the other direction.
