Palestine Cellular Communications Company, doing business as Jawwal (Arabic: جوال‎), is the first mobile network operator in Palestine,[1] employing almost 887 people.[2] Jawwal was established in 1999, and is owned by Paltel.[3] As the leading mobile operator, Jawwal has succeeded in the Palestinian market by reaching more than 2.45 million subscribers as of 2012.[4]

Since its launch, Jawwal is represented in its market share of 81.5% of the Palestinian market.[5] In 2004, it also obtained the "Environmental Quality Management" certificate ISO14001.[6] In addition, Jawwal offers international roaming services with more than 391 operators in over 160 countries and has coverage up to 98% of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.[7]

Network

Jawwal has struggled with the limited frequency allocated to Jawwal by the Israeli authorities. Jawwal started offering 3G services commercially on 23 January 2018.[8] Network speeds 4G LTE are not available.[9]
