Iran Telecom has the biggest coverage throughout Iran, most customers (about 30 millions) and it's the most long established network (statally owned).
Unfortunately it's not easy to understand much on their website on the English version. It doesn't explain anything about prepaid or postpaid plans, so
by now we preferred not to list any more detailed information about this operator. If some Persian friend would like to help us it would be more than welcome.
Only in recent years private networks started their services, mainly Taliya and MTN. MTCE exists since longer time (2002) but
seems to be available only around Esfahan area. There's a fifth operator, TKC, which is available only on Kish Island, so we didn't find
of any interest to list it here in details.
