Israeli phone numbers starting with 500

[Yuval Inov]

Based on the "Israel Numbering Plan" file that is on "data.gov.il", it doesn't seem possible for a valid phone number to start with "+972500". After the prefix "+97250", only digits in the range "[1-9]" seem to be possible (with "1" being for M2M Services).

The online demo indicates that the number  "+972500000000" is marked as valid by "isValidNumber" and "isValidNumberForRegion".

Is this intentional? If so, what is the reasoning? Thanks.

Country: "Israel"

Example number: "+972500000000"

Hi,

Thank you for using libphonenumber!

We agree that the Israel Numbering Plan does not mention prefix 500 but it is mentioned in the Pelephone's IR 21 document.

Thanks & Regards,

Kavitha
