Iran’s Fastest Mobile Internet

4G stands for fourth generation of mobile telecommunications technology which enables users to enjoy a higher speed and a more pleasant experience in using Internet. When you play games, watch videos, download and search in the Internet you will definitely feel the difference.

4G networks support B3 band – 1800 Mhz frequency and B7 band – 2600 Mhz frequency. So the handsets supporting these frequencies will enable access to 4G network. You can find the information about your handset on its manufacturer's website or in its manual.

4G-enabled handsets can easily be identified by a red 4G label mentioned on their package, manual, etc. You can also visit our “Does my handset support 3G/4G/4.5G?” page to check if your handset supports 4G.

When you are in the areas covered by 4G and if your handset supports 4G, the signs of either 4G or LTE will be displayed next to the signal bars on the screen.

LTE is actually the other name for 4G which stands for Long Term Evolution. Device manufacturers use both terms interchangeably. For example, in your handset’s Settings menu or when you are using 4G in iPhone you see LTE on your screen, while in Android devices both 4G and LTE might appear.

When you’re purchasing using your SIM card airtime, you’ve already paid the 9% Value Added Tax so this amount won’t be deducted from your package price. While buying from bank gateways, VAT will be added to the package price. For instance if your SIM card airtime is zero and you want to buy an internet package to the price of 9.175 Toman, you need to buy a 10.000 Toman voucher to have 9.175 Toman in your account. The difference amounting to 825 Toman will be deducted from your account as the VAT. So if you wish to buy the internet package from your airtime, you need to have 9.175 Toman in your account. Now if you want to buy the same package through bank gateways, you need to pay 9.175 Toman plus 825 Toman VAT that would be a total of 10.000 Toman. Therefore, you’d pay the same amount regardless of the method you choose to buy a package.

The costs are calculated on kbps basis and the length of time you are connected to Internet is not the basis for cost calculation.

No, in general at any time of the day for postpaid SIM Cards, each Kb data transfer costs 0.05 Tomans and for postpaid SIIM Cards each Kb data transfer costs 0.075 Tomans. However, the costs may differ during day and night based on the purchased packages.
