I am going out of my mind!
I even pulled my orange phone out of the drawer, and wasted a few dollars trying to dial that way!
I am trying to call the following number:
1-801-700-700
can someone tell me how to dial this from the US?
011 972 801 700 700?
011 972 1 801 700 700
+ 972 1 801 700 700???
nothing works.
there has to be a way!!! thanks in advance

so many views but not a single bit of advice?
please? we are really on a time crunch here and I cant figure out how to dial.
does anyone know a number for "bezeq" 411 (in israel, you dial "144") from the US?
I called sprit and verizon for international directory assistance and that was pointless...
please!!

have you tried Bezeq's online 411? It works best in Hebrew FWIW. The English won't usually get you far.

On the other matters I have no idea, sorry! I know that it isn't generally possible to call a US 800 number from outside of the US, maybe this is the same type of situation?

AFAIK, you can't do it. My friend needed to speak to an Israeli company after she left the country. She ended up calling my Israeli line and I conferenced her with the company because there was no way for her to dial the 800# directly.

I have come across messages that it wasn't possible more than once. My understanding was that it depends on the 800 service they purchase.
 Wikipedia agrees with me.

Unless the rules are different or she has a VOIP phone or calling card that makes it seem like she is in Israel, it may not be possible for her to call an Israeli toll free number.

As I wrote before, I don't think it is possible. You can do what my friend did and call someone else in Israel and ask them to call HOT and conference you. Or you can ask someone in Israel to call HOT and ask them if they have a non-800 phone number.

Some companies like Bezeq and Meuhedet have a non toll free number especially for this reason. You can check their website to see if they have one.

thanks liba! you are a total lifesaver! A little strange that on their english phone number site (presumably the place where people who live in america would look first - no?) they specifically dont mention this number! http://www.hot.net.il/HOT.aspx.....ng=he
I will call first thing tomorrow morning (I.e. in a few hours for me  )
