    just stick 00 in front before the 972
    972 is the intl dialling code for Israel)

    (simlar to the 0061 you use for yr Aussie freind)
    My website has lots of info and photos from various Greek and Canary Islands esp. about walking. My profile has the site address cos not allowed to put it here.

  • It's a good idea to use the international format on mobile phones (eg prefix all UK numbers with +44 instead of 0). That way, when you take your phone abroad, the entries in your phone book will still work.
