i actually am currently using local phone for myself, but doesn't that only work from a phone that I save to my profile? I'm looking for a number I can give to anyone to be able to reach me. Is that possible to be done with local phone

just to make sure I understand correctly. I open a number on ipkall, i link that globalphone, and globalphone calls my Israeli cell? And if I want my regular phone number to ring in Israel I forward that to the ipk?

Why do you need ipkall? Can't you just get a Free DID # from Call Centric and have them FWD it?

What I do is have google voice take over my sprint phone number (essentially porting my number to google). Now when I login i can select which phones ring and whicn phones don't. So for example since I have unlimited international data on my sprint phone, but NOT calling ($2/minute avg for calling), I don't want my number to ring my normal phone - so i turn it off.

Then I add a skype number to google voice and have it ring that, that way I can have skype on my iphone going over the unlimited data, and I have skype forwarding to my local SIM card, so that my dumb phone rings as well as skype on my iphone, whenever someone calls my US number.

In addition I can use any computer to answer a phone call via skype.

Been doing it like this for years, works great.

Another great service worth checking out is jajah.com

Somebody's keeping tabs on me...

No that was a business line and this is for personal use. I will switch that line at a later date.

Thanks. I opened 2 accounts and both triggered a fraud alert. My Israeli ip might be the trigger.

Every account I open triggers an alert. The SIP market is very high on the fraud list. Just follow the steps they send you and you're account should be open in 24-48 hours

Now this will be good -

If there is a voip that can supply an Israeli landline #, and have it forwarded to an Israeli mobile for free.

Like this you can have all incoming calls from US forwarded to a landline, and it will save 0.02 per minute!

What would be better was if they paid you ::)

It costs them a lot of money, why would they give it for free?

Pretty absurd!
It costs more to call from an IL landline to an IL cell, than to call USA.

actually this is quite a plan! Bezeq have some plans - I currently am on it - where they give you blocks of x amount of minutes, which includes to landline and cell, and I always have many minutes remaining.
