It seems like we live in a phone-addicted society. You can find them in almost every home, every office and with the mobility factor going on today – in every pocket or purse. Phones are everywhere, so it seems like a good idea to learn some vocabulary about phones and using them.<\/p>\n

To begin with, let’s first look at some simple phrases to help us out:<\/p>\n

I want to call… – \u05d0\u05e0\u05d9 \u05e8\u05d5\u05e6\u05d4 \u05dc\u05b0\u05d8\u05b4\u05dc\u05b0\u05e4\u05bc\u05b5\u05df \u05dc\u05b0…<\/span>
\nThe number is … – \u05d4\u05de\u05b4\u05e1\u05b0\u05e4\u05bc\u05b8\u05e8…<\/span>
