To make it easier for pilgrims to use SIM card services, especially high-speed internet, special discounted rates have been provided for roaming services with Iraqi operators (Zain and AsiaCell). To activate roaming services, dial *1111*1# from your Irancell SIM card before you leave the country or visit the MyIrancell super app.
Unlike foreign SIM cards, using Irancell’s roaming services allows you to access banking services, make transactions and card-to-card transfers, receive banking SMS messages, top-up your SIM card online, purchase data or combo packages, and pay postpaid bills while traveling abroad.
By purchasing and activating internet and combo packages specifically designed for Iraq—with exceptional discounts—you can significantly reduce the cost of your internet usage, calls, and texts. You can purchase and activate your desired package via MyIrancell or the Irancell website (both in Iran and in Iraq) until July 11, 2025.

Due to the high costs of using roaming at standard rates, it is strongly recommended to use data or combo packages to save on expenses.
To check your remaining package balance, dial *1111*6# from your Irancell line or visit the MyIrancell app.
Important Notes While in Iraq:
- It is recommended to have at least 100,000 Toman credit on your prepaid SIM card before entering Iraq.
- If you face any issues making calls during your trip, first ensure that your SIM card has enough credit.
- Postpaid users are advised to increase their credit limit as needed.
Roaming Internet Settings:
To use mobile internet with a specific operator abroad, you need to activate roaming internet services. For setup instructions, visit the roaming page and check the “Everything You Need to Know About Roaming” section.
Notes:
- You can top up your SIM card for free by dialing *7# or via the MyIrancell app.
- Turning on your mobile phone does not incur any charges.
- Once you return to Iran, roaming packages can no longer be used, and any remaining data will expire.
- Once roaming internet is enabled, data used by your mobile apps will be charged at roaming rates. Hence, make sure to close any apps you don’t wish to use while roaming.
