Pelephone (Hebrew: פלאפון pronounced: /pelefon/) is an Israeli-based telecommunications company, founded in 1986 as a joint venture between Motorola and Tadiran though today it is fully owned by Bezeq. It was the first company to offer mobile phone services in Israel. Due to this, the brand-name "Pelephone" has become the ubiquitous term for mobile phones in Israel (even for those of other service providers).

The company currently employs about 4,500 empolyees, and has over two million active customers.

The literal meaning of the word in Hebrew can be translated as wonder-phone or magic-phone.

The network started as AMPS/NAMPS in the 800/850Mhz band. In the mid-to-late 1990's it converted to IS-95 CDMA and later added CDMA2000/EV-DO capabilities as well.
