remember seeing someone by the name of Yair on this list awhile ago -
who said he was an Israeli regulator.<br>
If he is still on the list maybe he can answer my question.<br>
<br>
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"<br>
<br>
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!<br>
It seems to me that this puts the foreign companies at a unfair
disadvantage!<br>
