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).
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 Arbaeen pilgrims—with exceptional discounts—you can significantly reduce the cost of your internet usage, calls, and texts.
You can purchase and activate your desired package through the following free methods (whether in Iran or Iraq):
- MyIrancell app
- *1111*4#
- Irancell website
free messaging, voice, and video calls with Rubika

Please note: While using Irancell’s roaming services in Iraq, data usage for purchasing a package through the MyIrancell app and Irancell’s website is free.
By using Irancell’s roaming services, you can stay connected with your loved ones via the Rubika app free of charge until the end of the month of Safar, and enjoy a 25% discount on phone and text consultations through the “Doctor Doctor” service, exclusively for Arbaeen pilgrims.
You can also use the Rubika app to stay connected with your loved ones at no cost.
Considering the high cost of standard roaming rates, it is recommended to use internet or combo packages to save on expenses. To check your remaining package balance, you can dial *1111*6# from your Irancell line or visit the MyIrancell app.
Important Tips While in Iraq
- It’s recommended to top up at least 100,000 Tomans on your prepaid SIM card before entering Iraq.
- If you encounter issues making calls during your trip, first ensure your SIM card has sufficient credit.
- Postpaid users are advised to increase their credit limit based on their expected usage.
Ways to Recharge or Pay Bills (Both in Iran and Iraq)
- Use the MyIrancell app
- For prepaid lines: buy a recharge card and dial *141*RechargeCode#
- Dial *7# to recharge or pay bills using a bank card
Notes:
- Turning on your mobile phone does not incur any charges.
- After returning to Iran, remaining data from your roaming packages will expire and cannot be used.
When roaming data is turned on, mobile apps will consume data at roaming rates. Make sure unnecessary apps are closed. To avoid unnecessary charges while in Iraq, make sure to disable automatic downloads of videos, photos, and voice messages in your messaging apps. Also, ensure that any unused apps are turned off.

Call Host
If you do not have enough credit in your SIM card to receive a call in Iraq, your friends and loved ones in Iran who have Irancell SIM cards can pay for your roaming calls; the IVR system will prompt the person getting the call. When using the call host service, the caller must pay the cost of the call for the person receiving the call (the person who is in Iraq), which is 30,000 Tomans, in addition to paying their own fee.

Dear Subscriber, Please note that star-marked packages can only be activated once. If you attempt to activate them more than once, the package will not be reactivated and any payment made will be refunded to your account.
