Dial Palestine directly through your phone carrier using country code 970 — convenient, but international rates can add up fast.
Prepaid calling cards let you reach Palestine at lower rates, though you'll juggle access numbers and PINs each time.
MeraTalk connects you to Palestine over the internet with HD-clear audio, low rates, and no hardware to set up.
Both. 970 is the country code for Palestine, and 970 is also a North American area code for western and northern Colorado.
The form of the number tells you which. A number written +970 followed by the national number is Palestine. A ten-digit number beginning 970 with no plus sign, dialled as 1 970 XXX XXXX, is in western and northern Colorado. It was split from area code 303 in 1995 and covers Fort Collins, Greeley, Aspen and Vail. An overlay, area code 748, was activated on 7 July 2025.
Dial 011, then 970, then the number, dropping the leading 0.
On a mobile you can replace the exit code with a + sign and dial +970 directly, which works from any country without knowing the local exit code.
Full dialing sequence
Start by dialing your own country's international access code. From the US or Canada this is 011; from most of Europe it's 00. This tells your network you're making an international call.
Immediately follow with Palestine's country code — no spaces or dashes. This routes your call to Palestine's telephone network. On smartphones, replace the exit code with a + sign.
Add the city or regional code for your destination in Palestine. If the local number starts with a 0 (trunk prefix), drop it — the country code replaces it when dialing internationally.
Enter all remaining digits of the local number exactly as written. For mobile numbers, include every digit — no abbreviations. Press call and your carrier does the rest.
A strong, stable internet connection is the foundation of every clear call — use Wi-Fi or solid data whenever you can.
A quality headset sharpens both ends of the conversation, making your calls to Palestine clearer and more comfortable.
Keep the time difference in mind — UTC+2 — so you reach people at a reasonable hour and not in the middle of the night.
The price of calling Palestine swings widely depending on whether you use a carrier, a calling card, or VoIP — and VoIP usually wins.
How to get started with MeraTalk
Phone numbers in Palestine follow set ranges after the 970 country code, distinguishing mobiles, landlines, and special services.
Two prefixes are reserved exclusively for Palestinian operators.
+970 is the country code reserved for Palestine, but it is not always the one that works. The telecommunications network in the West Bank and Gaza depends substantially on Israeli infrastructure, so from most countries +972 — Israel's code — often reaches a Palestinian number more reliably, and for a number allocated directly by an Israeli company it is the only option.
The reverse is also true: some countries block the +972 access code, and from those +970 is the only way through.
If a Palestinian number will not connect, this is almost always why — try the same national number under the other country code before assuming it is wrong.
Palestine is identified by different codes depending on context:
Only +970 is a dialling code. PS, PSE and 275 identify the territory in data and documents, not on the phone.
Palestinian area codes by city, with the full number as you dial it from abroad.
The West Bank shares the codes 2, 4 and 9 between cities, with the digits that follow distinguishing them — Ramallah is 2 29X, Hebron 2 22X, Bethlehem 2 27X. Gaza uses 8 throughout. The leading 0 is dropped from abroad.
