Cellcom Israel Ltd. Announces Entry to Financial Services Market

NETANYA, Israel, July 7, 2010--     Cellcom Israel Ltd. (NYSE: CEL) (the "Company") announced today its entry
to the financial services market including through an innovative "mobile
wallet". The first step includes a cooperation agreement with Citibank group,
or Citi, that will enable a service of money remittance from Israel abroad by
customers of all cellular operators in Israel, through Citi's platform and
worldwide distribution channels. Additional added value services will be
provided to the Company's mobile wallet customers through a cooperation of
the Company with Isracard group, a leading Israeli credit card company.

    Mr. Amos Shapira, the Company's CEO, commented on the new remittance
service: "The mobile phone is the world's most common computerized retail
point of sale. It is this added value that Citi and the Company intend to
bring to the financial services market." Mr. Shapira further noted that the
Company's entry to the financial services market is consistent with the
Company's business strategy to create growth opportunities and provide added
value to its customers while leveraging the mobility advantage and the
Company's core business and competencies through new synergies. "Leveraging
Citi's international banking and financial capabilities, expertise and
infrastructure and the mobility advantage provided by the Company, together
with its familiarity with the Israeli consumer and close relationship with
its customers, the remittance services are expected to have a non significant
effect on the Company's expenses," added Mr. Shapira.

    The mobile wallet is expected to be launched by the end of 2010.

    The Company also intends to launch an internet based payment service and
is reviewing the launch of additional financial services, such as bill
payments and product purchasing through the mobile phone.

services and the impact of the money remittance services on the Company's
expenses, are subject to uncertainties and assumptions regarding market
