Until the 1990s, telephone numbers in Israel had 6 digits (except in its early days), and until the 2000s, there were 8 area codes allocated to Bezeq, by region. Currently numbers have seven digits and Bezeq controls 6 area codes - 04 and 06 (Haifa and northern areas) were merged, as well as 07 (south) and 08 (Shfela).

Over the last few years with the influence of VOIP, long distance has been deregulated in Israel. According to the Israel Ministry of Communication one may port a VOIP number to land line carrier and vice versa giving some one the option to say have a northern number in the south of the country however one is still not allowed to port a number say from the north to the south of the country with the same kind of line (e.g., VOIP to VOIP or land line to land line). Mobile number portability between cellular providers was introduced in late 2007.
