Xtra Plans

If you have an Xtra plan and texting to a USA or Canada number is not working, please make sure that the number you put in has a +1 before the area code.

If you are still having issues, please contact technical support at 0722243300 or +17182890195. 
 

Direct Plans

If you have Direct, you can’t text to the USA Virtual Number, it’s only a call-forwarding number. You can send texts to the Israeli phone number, if it has texting.
