Internet Access Cards

I haven't had a chance to post new pictures from my last trip to Iran for quite a while. So here you again. By the way, you can find all of them in photos section.


Internet cards, very similar to long distance phone cards, are the being sold everywhere in Iran. Privately-run ISPs distribute them. Each card includes a secret username and password and a phone number to call. There have different prices, based on their time limit. i'm not sure about their prices though. (Anybody knows it?)

The rates vary; they depend on whether it's used during night or day. The prices are around 3500 Rials/hour for daytime, and 2500 Rials/hour for nighttime. If you subscribe to an ISP, the rates are considerably lower; however, I've heard cards are popular since the user cannot be traced while connecting to the Internet using them.

Sorry, in the previous message I meant "SMS From Iran to europe and North America and vice versa". It wasn't clear.
