- The national numbering plan Iran's Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) notified to the ITU in August 2026: mobile numbers are always 10 digits without the leading 0, under 900–905, 91, 920–923, 93, 990–994, 996 and a set of finer blocks within 99; the 942, 9412 and 94440 areas are non-geographic fixed and fixed-wireless numbers, not mobiles. The plan doesn't say which operator holds which range, and numbers are portable, so the range doesn't tell you the operator.

Carriers & prefixes
Mobile prefixes by carrier.
Number portability applies — a prefix only shows the original carrier.
Porting rules in full
Numbers are portable; the service started in 2016, with Paya Communications running the porting system. According to the Iranian business outlet Eghtesad Online in 2017, citing a telecoms ministry report, only the three network operators MCI (Hamrahe Aval), MTN Irancell and RighTel could offer it at the time. We haven't confirmed the deadline from a CRA text, so none is given.
