If I understand the above correctly, it's very expensive to call such a number. In such a case, some part of those 50p could be used to cover 24 cents of Yackie incoming rate. You ask who pays then - CPPays

No, the tariff from landlines may be from 10p to 30p, but from mobile networks about 50p. I actually have one of these 07031 numbers [unless it expired when I wasn't looking], left over from when I thought it might be a cheap way to forward calls, based on a tariff mistake someone told me about, but in fact Orange barred the number.
They can be forwarded to international mobiles for example, so will be useful to some, but still some are more expensive than the actual destination.
So, if the Israel number of the SIM was able to be called, and thus avoided the Yackie forwarding charge, then you could have a point, but that seems unlikely at the moment, so gains no advantage over a UK mobile diversion to the landline number, from inclusive minutes.
