why would u want a toll free?
It is rather cheap to call a regular number

Do any of you know if there's any provider in Israel that
can offer me
an Israeli Toll-Free that is accessible from Paltel mobile and
proper? If so, please contact me off-list.

remember seeing someone by the name of Yair on this list awhile ago -
who said he was an Israeli regulator.
If he is still on the list maybe he can answer my question.
When visiting Israel I noticed that some calling cards can be accessed
by a 1-800 number and some others by a 1-809 number. Both were toll
free when calling from a Bezeq number. However when I called from my
rented Cellcom mobile the 1-800 number was charged as 22 agorot and the
1-809 about 3 times as much (full air time). When I asked the cell
phone company why this is - they replied that the Ministry of
Communications had forced the cell phone companies to charge 22
agorot for a1-800 but they did not mandate a fixed charge for a 1-809
which is also "tollfree"
The interesting thing is that the 1-809 is used by foreign calling card
companies as an access number - and I assumed that it was toll free as
advertised!
It seems to me that this puts the foreign companies at a unfair
disadvantage!
