Four checks for a Israel launch

Use this as an engineering handoff. Get a written carrier answer and qualified legal review where the call purpose or data handling requires it.

  1. 01

    Define consent, suppression, and complaint handling for the call purpose.

  2. 02

    Verify local CLI registration and cross-border route behavior.

  3. 03

    Document how recordings, transcripts, and phone numbers are protected.

  4. 04

    Pilot Hebrew and Arabic recognition with real names and addresses.

What still needs a carrier answer

Confirm local number eligibility, caller identity, solicitation rules, and recording requirements with an Israeli carrier and counsel.
