Palestine Cellular Communications Company (Arabic: شركة الاتصالات الخلوية الفلسطينية), trading as Jawwal (Arabic: جوال), is a Palestinian communications company providing cellular and wireless communications. Jawwal operates in the West Bank and Gaza Strip as part of Paltel Group.[1][2]
History
[edit]Jawwal was established in 1999 and obtained the first mobile license in the Palestinian territories, operating with GSM communications.[3] The service first launched in Gaza on August 15, 1999 and then to the West Bank on October 2 the same year.[4]
