Palestine Cellular Communications (JAWWAL)
A Customer Base Exceeding 290.000 Subscribers

JAWWAL was awarded the concession to build and operate the first Palestinian GSM 900 network in the summer of 1999. With a total investement exceeding $140 million, JAWWAL established the infrastucture and operating systems needed to cover over 90% of all inhabited areas of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

JAWWAL’s customer base exceeded 290,000, split 93% prepaid users and 7% postpaid subscribers, and constitutes 46% of the Palestinian cellular market. JAWWAL’s client outreach is channeled through 15 showrooms covering all major cities as well as through the inbound and outbound call centers.

Recognizing the adverse operating environment caused by the political situation, JAWWAL has committed itself to maintaining the best industry standards and to continuously roll out new services and applications. Among the new technologies to be rolled out is JAWWAL’s GPRS network along with new business and entertainment applications.
