Interesting Iranian Phone Facts
A report from 2010 shows that over 1 million mobile phones are sold in Iran every month, including both existing, and new customers.

The best-selling mobile phones in Iran during 2010 were the Nokia 6300, the Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot C905, the Samsung M8800 and the LG Shine.

In 2009, protesters in Iran called for a boycott of Nokia phones, following reports that the Finnish company sold electronic surveillance systems to the Iranian government.

As of January 2009, the mobile phone market in Iran had a 60 percent penetration rate, which is expected to grow to over 80 percent in 2012.

Tight government control over the licensing of mobile phone operators has prevented competition throughout Iran. Currently, there are two operators in Iran, including the state-owned Iran Telecommunication Company (TCI) and Irancell, which is 49% owned by South Africa's MTN group.
