BitLink

A US number that rings — and texts — in Israel.

Add a US, Canadian, or UK local number to any BitLink plan for $9.99/month. Family and clients back home dial a number that's local to them — no international dialing, no calling cards — and the call rings your phone in Israel. It works on every plan, including kosher lines. And it's not just calls: the number receives US text messages too, including the verification codes American banks and services send — tested with real Chase and Google codes arriving in Israel.

For a limited time

Free for your first month.

Students and new olim: start a real Israeli eSIM line with 11GB included, free for a month. After that it continues on our Basic plan unless you cancel — we'll remind you first.

How much does a US number in Israel cost?

With BitLink, $9.99 per month on top of any plan — so a student on Student 5G pays $44.98/month total for an Israeli line plus a US number that family can call locally. The same add-on price covers a Canadian or UK number instead, and US/Canada numbers are available on the kosher plans as well. Compare that with keeping an old US plan alive just to stay reachable, which typically runs $10–$40 per month and leaves you juggling two carriers.

Do my parents pay international rates when they call me?

No — that's the point of the add-on. Your parents dial a number that's local in their country, and their carrier treats it as a local call, which on most US, Canadian, and UK plans costs nothing extra. The call then rings your phone in Israel. No calling cards, no dialing +972, no explaining international dialing to a grandparent. On your side, answering works like any normal incoming call.

Should I add a US number or port my old US number?

Ask one question: do people need to reach the number they already have saved? If yes — you've had the same cell number for 15 years and everyone from your dentist to your bank uses it — then porting it to BitLink for a one-time $49.99 keeps it alive on your Israeli line — plan on 3 to 5 business days for the port, with the old number working throughout. If you just want family to have an easy way to call, the $9.99/month add-on gives them a fresh local number right away and skips the porting process entirely. They solve different problems, and some people do both.

Will I get bank verification texts on the US number?

Yes — the add-on number receives US text messages, including the verification codes banks and services send. This has been tested with real Chase Mobile and Google verification codes arriving on a BitLink US number in Israel. That matters because many VoIP and forwarding services fail exactly here: financial institutions often refuse to text them, which is how people get locked out of accounts after a move. As with any number change, test your most important logins before retiring the old line. (One exception by design: kosher lines are voice-only, so texts to the add-on don't apply there.)

Does the add-on work with kosher plans?

Yes. A US or Canadian local number can be added to Kosher Basic or Kosher+ for the same $9.99/month, and it rings the kosher phone like any other call. Combined with Kosher+'s included 150 minutes of outbound US/Canada calling, a kosher line can stay closely connected with family abroad in both directions.

Add-on vs. keeping your old US plan alive

A lot of people land in Israel still paying a US carrier just so family can reach them. Here's the honest comparison.

Local on their end

Parents, grandparents, and clients dial a regular local number in their own country. For them, calling you costs what any local call costs.

Works with every plan

The add-on attaches to any BitLink plan — Basic through Max 5G, and US/Canada numbers on the kosher plans too.

One account, one bill

The number rides alongside your Israeli line for a flat $9.99/month, on the same USD bill — no second carrier to manage.

The details matter before checkout.

How it works

The local number is provisioned alongside your Israeli line. When someone dials it from the US, Canada, or the UK, the call comes through to your phone in Israel — they never dial internationally, and you answer as usual.

Verification texts work too

The number receives US SMS — including the security codes banks and services send. We've tested this with real Chase and Google verification codes arriving on a BitLink US number in Israel. That's a meaningful difference from many VoIP and forwarding services, which financial institutions often refuse to text. As with any number change, test your most important logins while your old line is still active.

Add-on or porting — which one?

The add-on gives you a new local number for people to call. Porting brings your existing US, UK, or Canadian number onto your BitLink line for a one-time $49.99. If everyone already knows your old number, porting keeps it; if you just want to be easy to reach, the add-on is simpler. Timing differs too: a new add-on number starts working right away, while a port takes 3 to 5 business days — with your old number working the whole time. Some people do both.

Getting it set up

Choose your plan first. Once your line is active, add the number yourself from your account — pick the country (US, Canada, or UK), choose the exact number you want from a list, and it attaches immediately, prorated onto your existing monthly bill. Prefer a human? Support on WhatsApp can set it up with you instead.
