## FAQ

**How do I get an Israel phone number for SMS verification?** Pick Israel in the catalog, then the app. A private +972 number is reserved for 20 minutes and the code appears in your dashboard, usually within seconds. You pay only if the code arrives; otherwise the held amount returns to your balance automatically.

**Does an Israeli virtual number work with WhatsApp?** Use the physical SIM pool. WhatsApp checks that the number is a real mobile line, and Israeli SIM numbers pass that check. Enter the number as +972 5X-XXX-XXXX in WhatsApp and read the code in your dashboard.

**Why are Israeli numbers cheaper than German or Australian ones?** Israel does not require ID for prepaid SIMs, so the pool is large and prices stay low: Microsoft / Outlook was $0.02 and LinkedIn $0.03 at the last price snapshot. Prices in countries with mandatory SIM registration, such as Germany or Australia, run higher.

**Can I use a +972 number for Wolt or Yango in Israel?** Yes. Both send OTP codes to Israeli mobiles only and validate the +972 5 prefix first. An Israeli verification number passes that check; the code lands in your dashboard and you are charged only when it arrives.

**How much does a Israel number cost?** From $0.02 per delivered code (Microsoft / Outlook) at the last price snapshot. Strict apps and physical-SIM lines cost more; the exact price of each app on a Israel number is shown before you confirm and frozen until the SMS arrives.

**Do I need to be in Israel to use a +972 number?** No. Everything happens online: the number is reserved in your SMS Nitro dashboard and the SMS is read there, so your own location and SIM do not matter.

**Are Israeli numbers physical SIM or virtual?** Both pools exist. Physical-SIM Israel numbers are real carrier lines and pass strict checks (WhatsApp, Google, banks); virtual ones are cheaper and fine for most sign-ups. The pool is labeled before you confirm.

**What if the SMS to my Israel number does not arrive?** You are not charged. The held amount returns to your balance automatically and you can take another Israel number, or switch country, right away.

**How long can I use the Israel number?** The number is reserved for 20 minutes. Every SMS sent to it in that window appears in your dashboard, and you pay only when the first code arrives.
