What it does
When you can't pick up — driving, in a meeting, with a client — the call forwards to Onimli's assistant instead of voicemail.
- The assistant answers in fluent Hebrew,
- in one of six Hebrew voices, or in your own voice: record about a minute in the app («הקול שלך», both plans),
- opens in the name you configure and explicitly identifies itself as automated if asked,
- asks who is calling and what they need,
- and politely declines telemarketing calls when they are identified during the conversation.
After the call you receive a WhatsApp or email summary:
- who called,
- what they wanted,
- and the number to call back.
Listen to the original, full recording of a customer testing Onimli in Hebrew, published with his permission.
The name used in the call is fictional:

A real test conversation and its summary
A customer called to test the assistant himself and gave permission to publish this recording.
Using the fictional name Avi, he describes a broken roller shutter cord in Rishon LeZion,
asks about the price and requests an urgent callback today.
The full original Hebrew recording — about 1 minute 17 seconds, with no cuts or edits.

Summary of the call: אבי, שם בדוי, מבקש לתקן תריס שהחוט שלו נקרע בראשון לציון,
שואל על המחיר ומבקש שיחזרו אליו היום בדחיפות.
English explanation: Avi, a fictional name, needs a roller shutter cord repaired in Rishon LeZion and asks about the price.
- Requested action: call him back.
- When: today, urgently.
This English explanation is provided on this page; it is not an automatic translation feature of the service.
The assistant collected the location, name and urgency of the request.
It did not provide a quote or book an appointment.
This is one example; check the response against the needs of your own calls.
Why it exists
Onimli focuses on a common problem for people and small businesses in Israel:
understanding who called while you were unavailable and deciding whom to call back.
It offers Hebrew answering and written summaries with published prices and a trial,
so you can check whether this limited task fits your needs.
How it works
- Sign up online (Hebrew) — no credit card for the trial.
- Dial the carrier code provided for your Onimli answering number. Carrier support varies, so activation is confirmed with a test call. If the code is rejected, see our call-forwarding troubleshooting guide and carrier-specific findings.
- From then on, calls you answer never touch the service; calls you miss get answered, summarized, and sent to your WhatsApp.
Plans and pricing
A month, before VAT. Yearly: ₪2,490 + VAT and ₪4,990 + VAT.
Dedicated answering numberSome carriers: free in the trial, then ₪20/month
Your own questionsUp to 2 per caller, in both plans
In full
| Plan | Price | Included |
|---|---|---|
| Business | ₪249/month + VAT or ₪2,490/year + VAT | Up to 150 answered calls/month (about five a day), greeting in a name you choose, your own opening line, up to 2 custom questions per caller, written summaries, telemarketing refusal |
| Business Plus | ₪499/month + VAT or ₪4,990/year + VAT | Up to 300 answered calls/month (about ten a day), a different name and questions per line, and a lead workspace |
A call longer than 5 minutes counts as two calls: every 5 minutes started counts as a call.
Some carrier setups require a dedicated answering number: free during the trial, then ₪20/month on top of the plan.
Check the current pricing and terms in Hebrew before choosing a plan.
Limitations and who it is for
The assistant and service interface are in Hebrew.
Onimli does not translate Hebrew calls into English.
Names, numbers and requests can be misunderstood, so check important details before acting on a summary.
The assistant does not book appointments in your calendar.
If you need
- English-speaking reception
- emergency handling
- or complex decisions during the call,
this service is not a suitable replacement for a human.
Your carrier connection still needs its own successful test call.

FAQ
What is Onimli (עונים לי)?
Onimli (Hebrew: עונים לי, "they answer me") is an Israeli service
where an AI assistant answers the calls you missed, in natural Hebrew.
It asks who is calling and what it is about, and sends you a written summary on WhatsApp with the caller's number,
so you can decide whom to call back.
Does it require installing an app?
No.
Onimli works through conditional call forwarding ("forward when unanswered") at your Israeli mobile carrier,
so it works on any phone, including basic phones — no smartphone needed.
Support depends on the carrier and the specific plan (some routes, such as certain kosher plans, restrict forwarding),
so activation is only completed after a successful test call.
How much does Onimli cost?
Business is ₪249 per month + VAT or ₪2,490 per year + VAT for up to 150 answered calls (about five a day, roughly ₪1.7 a call):
it answers in a name you choose, asks who called and why, asks every caller up to 2 custom questions you define, and reports back —
on both plans it knows only the business name and passes questions about the business on to you.
Business Plus is ₪499 per month + VAT or ₪4,990 per year + VAT for up to 300 (about ten a day),
adding a different name and questions per line and a lead workspace.
Forwarding an urgent call to a number you choose, and “Customers”, are coming soon.
A call longer than 5 minutes counts as two calls: every 5 minutes started counts as a call.
Both plans can connect any number of extra lines to the same assistant.
Both plans include a 7-day free trial with no credit card.
