Jawwal could not offer 3G until 23 January 2018. It had waited years for Israeli authorities, who control the radio frequencies, to allocate it more spectrum.

Ooredoo Palestine, launched as Wataniya Mobile in 2009, is the country's second mobile network. It ended Jawwal's ten years as the only option.

Questions about +970

Which country is +970?

+970 belongs to Palestine: the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

What is +970?

+970 is the code you dial before a Palestinian number when you call from another country. It replaces the trunk 0 at the start of the number.

What is the difference between +970 and 00970?

The + stands for your exit code. 00 is the exit code in Palestine, Europe, and most of the world, so 00970 and +970 reach the same number there. From the US and Canada, dial 011 970 instead.

Do I drop the 0 after +970?

Yes. The 0 is the Palestinian trunk prefix and works only inside Palestine. Dial +970 2 223 4567, not +970 02 223 4567.

Can I text a +970 number?

Yes. Write the number as +970 2 223 4567 without its first 0, and your phone sends the text abroad at your carrier's international rate.
