yes and not...
it's muck more complicated... it's not exacatly 10 based, since you need 2 
"400" to get a "800"... it's done using letters of the hebrew alphabet. 

For example: 
a=1, b=2, and then k=10, l=20 m=30,  etc. the last letter of the hebrew 
alphabet is equivalent to 400.  But this is too offtopic here. :)

.. and again, I don't care about about this in kppp, since all telephony 
systems work in a "normal" 10 based numbering system. This is what they 
expect. Since the dialects in subject are compatible, I can translate them. 
We can also quite easily say "we do not support this, sorry".

(In Israel we do use sometimes hebrew numbering, but not on phone numbers just 
because of the technical issues I mentioned before. I cannot speak about 
other cultures.)
