Pelephone ( Hebrew פלאפון; literally miracle phone ) is an Israeli cell phone company . It was founded in 1986 as a joint venture between Motorola and Tadiran , but is now a 100% subsidiary of the telecommunications company Bezeq . Since Pelephone was the first to offer mobile communications in Israel, the word became colloquially the generic name for mobile phones (comparable to Natel in Switzerland ).
The company employs around 4,200 people and has around 2.4 million customers. The network originally started with the analog American AMPS standard and used the 800 and 850 MHz bands. In the 1990s, the IS-95 standard was changed, which is based on code division multiplexing , and the CDMA2000 3G technology was later expanded. The UMTS network has been in operation since 2009, and was upgraded to the HSPA + standard in 2010 .
