As an example, the table for Rechovot is (translated): Rechovot to area code (03): inter-urban A Rechovot to (08)-9xx xxxx numbers (Rechovot/Ramle area): local Rechovot to (08)-85x xxxx or 86x xxxx (Ashdod area): inter-urban B (go figure) Rechovot to (09)74,76,77,79,95x-xxxx (Ra'anana): inter-urban A Rechovot to all other destinations: inter-urban B [People with Hebrew-savvy browsers can find the table for their area code at http://www.bezeq.co.il/tariffs/calls/XY.htm where you replace XY with 02 (Jerusalem/Beit Shemesh), 03 (Greater Tel-Aviv), 04 (Haifa), 06 (Galil), 07 (Beer-Sheva to Eilat) 08 (Rechovot/Ashdod area) or 09 (Hertzliya/Ra'anana area) as appropriate.] Whether a call within your area code is local or inter-urban A may have a significant effect on the price of using an internet provider during the day! CALLS TO CELLULAR PHONES --- (050) and (052) area codes Price per minute in shekel. The first part is Bezeq connection, the second part is "air time" (z'man avir) of the respective cellular provider.
