English speakers whose callers speak Hebrew:
- olim and expats,
- remote workers with an Israeli line,
- and small businesses in Israel whose customers phone in Hebrew (a clinic, a tradesperson, a studio, a shop).
The problem is rarely your Hebrew.
It is that a missed call from a Hebrew-speaking customer ends in a voicemail nobody leaves,
and you never learn what they wanted.
Onimli works on Israeli mobile lines:
- activation uses your carrier's no-answer forwarding, so it depends on your carrier and plan,
- and the setup ends with a real test call that confirms it works on your line.
If the forwarding code is rejected, the error message tells you what to fix.

FAQ
Does the assistant speak English?
The conversation with callers, the summaries and the dashboard are in Hebrew.
That is the point: your Hebrew-speaking callers are answered in their language.
These English pages exist so you can decide with full information.
Do I need to install an app?
No. Activation is a carrier forwarding code that sends unanswered calls to the assistant.
The setup screen shows the instructions for your carrier,
and a test call from a second phone confirms that the forwarding works on your line.
Which carriers and plans are supported?
Any Israeli line whose carrier and plan allow no-answer call forwarding.
Because that varies by carrier and plan, Onimli does not promise support in advance: the free trial and the test call are the proof.
Can it book appointments for me?
No. It takes the message and can give the caller your booking link, but it does not book on your behalf.
If you need a receptionist that books, that is a different family of product (see the table above).
Will callers know it is AI?
The assistant opens in the name you configure and asks for a message.
It never pretends to be human and explicitly says it is an automated service if asked.
