Get a Palestine virtual phone number
A +970 virtual number lets NGOs, tech teams, and businesses reach contacts across the West Bank and Gaza — and lets the Palestinian diaspora stay connected to family and business at home — without local infrastructure or a physical office in the territories.
What a +970 virtual number is
+970 is the international dial code for the Palestinian territories — the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The ITU allocated it as the numbering resource for the Palestinian telecom sector. Today the Palestinian Ministry of Telecommunications and Digital Technology (MTIT) runs it. In practice, some Palestinian numbers still route via +972 too. That's a legacy of the shared telecom history in the region — but +970 is the code set aside for Palestinian-administered numbers.
- West Bank fixed-line codes — 02 for Ramallah/Al-Bireh, Bethlehem, Hebron, and Jericho. 09/04 for Nablus and Jenin.
- Gaza fixed-line codes — 08 for Gaza City, Khan Yunis, Rafah, and North Gaza.
- Mobile numbers are non-geographic. Jawwal numbers start with 059. Ooredoo Palestine numbers start with 056. They dial the same way whether the line is in the West Bank or Gaza.
- Length. National numbers run 8–9 digits total, following the pattern +970 [area/mobile code] [subscriber number].
Mobile-format numbers work best for most virtual line setups. They reach anyone in the West Bank or Gaza from a single line — no city code to pick.

Why a +970 virtual number earns its keep
NGOs, IT teams, and the Palestinian diaspora all have real reasons to want a local +970 line — without opening a physical office.
NGO & humanitarian field presence
The West Bank and Gaza host one of the world's highest concentrations of international NGOs and UN agencies. A local +970 line makes program hotlines easy to reach — for field staff and for the people they serve.
Diaspora connection
Palestinians abroad keep close family, property, and business ties back home. A +970 line gives diaspora-run businesses a local number that relatives can call at standard local rates.
Ramallah tech & IT-outsourcing support
Ramallah has a small but active tech scene. Route a local support line to your global team, wherever they sit.
No local entity required
Run a Palestinian contact line for calls and SMS. No registered local entity. No physical office.

Choose the right kind of Palestine number
Mobile-format (059/056-style)
Most popularNon-geographic. Reachable the same way from anywhere in the West Bank or Gaza. The most common choice for teams serving both regions.
West Bank city-format
A number that looks tied to a specific West Bank city — for example Ramallah's 02 prefix. Good when you want a clearly local presence in one city.
SMS-enabled number
Two-way SMS for appointment reminders, program updates, and verification codes. Where local carriers support delivery.
Toll-free / inbound business
Free for callersOne free-to-caller line for inbound Palestinian calls. Where available.
What coverage looks like across the Palestinian territories
This is the coverage picture at the structural level, not a guaranteed list of every local exchange. Network conditions in the West Bank and Gaza shift over time.
- West Bank
Fixed-line area codes are assigned by city or governorate — Ramallah/Al-Bireh, Bethlehem, Hebron, Jericho, Nablus, Jenin, and others. Jawwal and Ooredoo Palestine provide mobile coverage.
- Gaza Strip
Area codes are assigned by city: Gaza City, Khan Yunis, Rafah, North Gaza. The same two national operators run mobile service here. Network conditions and available technology can differ from the West Bank — see the note below.
- Network generation note
Palestinian mobile operators face spectrum and network-upgrade constraints that go through a shared regulatory process with Israeli authorities. This is a long-standing part of the region's telecom setup. As a result, 3G and 4G rolled out at different times across the West Bank and Gaza. If your project needs a specific network generation (LTE-only, for example), check current local capability first.
- Diaspora / NGO relevance
Mobile numbers aren't tied to a city. One virtual mobile-format line reaches both the West Bank and Gaza.
