I was using HOT's 077 number for four years. Fax works and the call
quality was excellent. However, the tech support are idiots and there
were a lot of times when we had no phone service, sometimes days. We
ditched them for Bezeq a year ago. More reliable, better tech support,
negligible price difference. Note that we do not have a television, so
the package deal was only telephone and internet.
