Privacy Policy
We limit the information collected about you to what is needed for conducting business and offering products and services that might be of interest to you. You may choose to provide individually-identifiable information (such as name, address, telephone number or e-mail address) to Cellcom in a number of ways through our web site - by sending us e-mail, applying for a job, etc.
We do not collect individually identifiable information from you unless you provide it to us, or sell the names and addresses of visitors to our site to unaffiliated suppliers, without providing information on that disclosure where the individually identifiable information is collected.
We do collect, maintain and use customer information as necessary to provide the most helpful and targeted products and services to meet customers'needs (e.g. customer care or new products or services). We also honor customers'requests to remove their names from our telephone or mail solicitation lists using reasonable efforts to delete the information from existing files. Please contact us to make such a request. When undertaking projects with other companies, we provide access to customer information with an understanding that our business partners will also treat the information with respect for privacy concerns.
Because we appreciate the trust you have placed in us, we continually look for ways to enhance that business relationship. So from time to time, we may let you know about a product or service. Using the information you have provided to us, we strive to limit our offers to those we think you would appreciate receiving. We want every contact you have with us to be a positive experience. So if you would prefer not to receive these value-added services, offers and opportunities, please contact us.
In addition to individually identifiable information, we may collect information automatically when a visitor enters the Cellcom site, such as the domain name, browser, the type of computer operating system, information about the web page from which the visitor linked to the site, and time spent on different pages within the site. We may use this information to evaluate and improve the site, and may share the information with business partners and others.
Children should consult with their parents or guardian before furnishing any data to us. We believe that parents should supervise their children's on-line activities and may consider using one of a number of available parental control tools that provide a child-friendly on-line environment and can prevent children from disclosing individually identifiable information without parental consent. If a child has provided individually identifiable information without the consent of a parent or guardian, that parent or guardian should just contact us to request that the information be deleted from our records.
Cellcom strives to only form partnerships with companies with an understanding that our business partners will treat our customers with respect with regard to privacy concerns. However, Cellcom is not responsible for content or privacy policies of other sites. You should keep this in mind when accessing sites through links on Cellcom's website.
We will constantly strive to improve the services we may offer, and may update this privacy statement from time to time in connection with that effort. We reserve the right to expand our capabilities for information collection and use, and may change our policies along with this privacy statement at any time.

- For Cellcom's Unlimited Plan, Cellcom reserves the right to switch customer to another data plan if less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the customers overall data usage are used in Cellcom's licensed market during any three-month period during the term of this agreement. Data speeds on the Unlimited Plan will automatically slow to 200 – 500 Kbps when each line reaches its high-speed data allotment. Video Quality: For content we can identify as video, the maximum video quality will be 480p for smartphone on the Bronze and Silver plan and all other devices, and 720p for smartphones on the Gold plan. Video is capped at this amount regardless of network device is accessing (for example 4G LTE). Ability to stream, video resolution, speed, and other data usage are not guaranteed, may vary, and be impacted by a variety of other factors.
- For Cellcom's Advantage Plan and Business Unlimited Plan, after 22GB per line per billing cycle for smart and basic phones, 10GB per line per billing cycle for mobile broadband, tablets and connected devices, and 1GB per line per billing cycle for connected wearables, data speeds will be slowed to 200 Kbps to 500 Kbps. Cellcom reserves the right to switch customer to another data plan if less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the customers overall data usage are used in Cellcom's licensed market during any three-month period during the term of this agreement.
- For Cellcom’s Advance Pay Unlimited Data Plan for smartphones, data will stream at speeds of 3 Mbps for both 6GB and 18GB options until 6GB or 18GB, respectively, of data per line per replenishment date is used. Once 6GB or 18GB, respectively, per line per replenishment date is used, data speeds will be slowed to 100 Kbps to 500 Kbps. Autopay is required for the discounted data rates of $5 per month on the Advance Pay Unlimited Data Plan.
- For Cellcom’s Residential Internet Plan, data speeds will automatically slow to a maximum of 1 Mbps down and 512 Kbps up for the remainder of the bill cycle when each line reaches the plan data amount. Cellcom reserves the right to limit throughput speed or immediately terminate Customer’s service, without notice, if: (i) less than seventy-five percent (75%) of overall data usage are used in Cellcom’s licensed market during any three-month period; or (ii) the Customer, in Cellcom’s sole discretion, is using the service in a manner that is prohibited by the Acceptable Use Policy.
- Affiliated Prioritization.
- Not applicable. Cellcom does not engage in any practice that directly or indirectly favor traffic to benefit an affiliate.
- Paid Prioritization.
- Not applicable. Cellcom does not engage in any practice that directly or indirectly favors some traffic over other traffic in exchange for consideration, monetary or otherwise.
- Congestion Management.
- Congestion is an Internet access service problem that can slow web browsing, downloading, and other activities of the customers during certain peak usage periods. During periods of congestion they may experience conditions such as longer times to download or upload files, slower Web surfing, and/or slower movements during online game playing. This congestion may be caused by capacity limits and bottlenecks in a service provider's own network or by limitations in the capacity of backhaul facilities and services that many service providers must purchase from unrelated entities.
- Cellcom manages its network using a protocol-agnostic method. This means congestion is not managed based on online activities, protocols, or applications. In the event of congestion, all traffic is classified as "best effort." If significant congestion problems arise in the future, Cellcom most desired approach is to determine the source of the problem, and to increase the capacity of the affected portions of its network and/or of its connections with the Internet where warranted. However, network and other facilities upgrades often cannot be accomplished instantaneously because of the need to interconnect with multiple, unrelated entities.
- Application-Specific Behavior.
- Cellcom does not have its own third-party application certification criteria or procedures, nor does it restrict the use of applications on its network unless they are unlawful or unless there is a reasonable belief that such applications will cause harm to its network. Cellcom will expeditiously inform an application developer of any decision to deny access to Cellcom's network for a particular application of such developer.
- Device Attachment Rules.
- Cellcom does not have its own third-party device certification criteria or procedures, nor does it restrict the use of devices on its network unless they are unlawful, there is a reasonable belief that such devices will cause harm to its network, or the device in incompatible with Cellcom's network. Cellcom will expeditiously inform a device provider of any decision to deny access to Cellcom's network for a particular device of such provider.
- Customers may use any lawful, compatible, type-accepted (if necessary) and commercially available device which they desire on Cellcom's network, provided such device does not harm the network.
- Security.
- Cellcom does not normally monitor the traffic of its customers. It undertakes no obligation to monitor or protect such customer traffic from spam, viruses, denial-of-service attacks, or other malicious, unlawful or unwanted activities.
- Our network employs metrics which determine whether there is a Denial of Service or similar attack hitting the network. During the time of such attacks inbound and outbound traffic filtering techniques will be employed to avoid network congestion and other network degradation. If any network traffic appears to be a malicious attempt to disrupt the network, such as by e-mail spamming or otherwise, corrective action will be taken and network information may be transmitted to the appropriate law enforcement agency for investigation and possible criminal prosecution under various computer hacking laws.
- A customer that is subjected to a denial-of-service attack, or similar malicious, unlawful or unwanted activity, is urged to notify Cellcom as soon as possible. Cellcom will work with the customer, other service providers, federal and state regulators, and/or law enforcement to determine the source of such activity, and to take appropriate, and technically and economically reasonable efforts to address the matter.
Performance Characteristics
- Service Description.
- Cellcom uses three different network technologies.
- 3G – CDMA EVDO Rev A – The expected access speeds in the CDMA Rev A network range from (.4) Mbps to (.7) Mbps, however, during peak times, typically late afternoons and evenings, the average speed may be reduced. The connection speed is comparable to basic DSL (up to 700kbps), which is about 15 times the speed of a dial-up connection. While on the Cellcom 3G network speeds may be up to 700kbps. During peak times, typically late afternoons and evenings, the average speed may be reduced. See www.cellcom.com/map for 3G coverage details.
- 4G – LTE (Long Term Evolution) – The expected access speeds in the LTE network range from (5) Mbps to (12) Mbps, however, during peak times, typically late afternoons and evenings, the average speed may be reduced. These speeds can only be realized when using a Cellcom-approved LTE device with an active Cellcom LTE SIM card while within the Cellcom LTE network. See www.cellcom.com/map for LTE coverage details.
- 5G – NR (New Radio) – The expected access speeds in the 5G network range from (5) Mbps to (4) Gbps, however, during peak times, typically late afternoons and evenings, the average speed may be reduced. These speeds can only be realized when using a Cellcom approved 5G capable device with an active Cellcom LTE 2.0 SIM card while within the Cellcom 5G network. See www.cellcom.com/map for 5G coverage details.
- Latency.
- Latency, also known as delay, is the amount of time from when a data packet is sent to when it is received. For broadband Internet access services, latency is usually expressed as the round-trip time in milliseconds ("ms") that it takes for a data packet to travel between two end points on the Internet (from point A to point B and then back to point A). Some applications, such as email, can tolerate a substantial amount of latency without any noticeable impact on the application's performance, while other applications, such as real-time video conferencing, require lower latency to function properly.
- Although latencies can vary due to several factors, Cellcom's broadband Internet access service customers can typically expect the following latencies when accessing the internet:
Technology Time in Milliseconds Technology Suitability of the Service for Real Time Applications 3G 78 to 116 No 4G 63 to 106 Yes 5G 21 to 131 Yes
- Impact of Non-Broadband Internet Access Service Data Services.
- Cellcom does not offer any non-broadband Internet access service data services that affect the last-mile capacity available for, and the performance of, broadband Internet access service.
