Can anyone help me register WALLA mail?

It seems that I need SMS verification of Israel in order to use it, but obviously I don't have one, and it doesn't let me use those temp SMS services online...........
Can someone help me?
Thanks!

There are a few Israel-based members here who may be able to help you.

Can I ask why the interest in Walla? I have studied Hebrew, I've considered a Walla account myself too, but these days most "international" email providers handle right-to-left writing and the Hebrew alphabet quite well, so in the end I didn't see the point in getting an account there. Outlook and Gmail handle Hebrew alphabet very well.

PS I may recommend, if you really want Walla and need an Israeli mobile nr to sign up, to either send a PM to an Israeli forum member here, or to ask for help in the Reddit community about Israel. That community is very active, with many people who can probably help you.

Walla has English (left-to-right) interface once you registered.

Registration to Walla is intended to Israeli residents (Israeli phone, Hebrew Captcha) to prevent spam and hacking attacks from Iran and some anti-Israeli hacker groups. You can workaround it if you have Israeli phone number and can read Hebrew cursive.

Walla itself is not better then any other email service, so, not clear why non-Israeli users want to use it. Gmail/Outlook is better unless you want your email to be under Israeli government indirect control (the same as Gmail is under US government indirect control because Google is under US jurisdiction)

P.S. I have few Walla accounts.
