phonestar cheap calls to Israel
How do I save a packet calling Israel?
Here's what you do:
- Call phonestar's Israel service number 0844 605 0505 .
- When you're connected you'll hear a voice prompt asking you to key in the full international number you'd usually use, starting with 00 in the normal way
So, to call someone in Jerusalem you'd dial 0844 605 0505 then (for example) 00972 2 123456. - To end your call, hang up in the usual manner. The phonestar call will be charged to your normal bill at only 1p per minute — any day, any time.
- Your phonestar call shows up on your bill in the normal way, but the number dialed will show as 0844 605 0505 . And rather than paying 59p per minute to call Israel using BT, you'll have paid 1p.
Why not try it right now?
There's no need to sign up for this phonestar service, and there aren't any passwords or PINs to remember. There's absolutely no fee or service charge.

So how do we do it so cheaply?
You may be thinking "So where's the catch then?"
Actually, there isn't one!
We can charge you just 1p a minute because we divert our international calls via the phonestar internet system thereby bypassing BT's international telephone network.
That's why phonestar international calls work even when international call barring is activated on the phone — in effect, you're dialing a UK number!

Can I call a mobile in Israel, though?
