didww.com; They are cheap ($3/month for an Israeli DID, flat -- some 
providers charge per incoming minute). They don't always have Israeli 
numbers on stock, though. Also, they are an Israeli company so they'll 
probably be able to accommodate your payment.

grnvoip.com / ezcall is reasonable everywhere if you use their premium 
routes (which is still cheap), and specifically in Israel their 
"regular" routes are just as good and cheaper still (8c/minute mobile, 
<1c/minute landline).

Prepay is the way to go for that. grnvoip will only accept calls coming 
in from an IP you give them in advance (up to 3, IIRC). I've heard good 
things about voipjet as well, but they stopped accepting individuals; if 
you can do this from within your company, they would also be an option.

Not affiliated with either of these companies, but I have been using 
their services for a year, and am very satisfied with their price, and 
reasonably satisfied with the quality of their service.
