History

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]

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.[5] 4G LTE and 5G services are unavailable.[6]
