Phones become even more important when you are traveling in a foreign county. You might need your phone more than ever to check the guidelines, search for places to visit, navigate your destinations by map, share your experience on social media, and use google translate to communicate with the locals. More importantly, you will need the internet on your phone to have access to the internet and stay in touch with your friends and family back at home. You will need to register your mobile phone in order to use it without any problems. Registering mobile phone in Iran will be one of the very first conflicts you might face. In this article, we will provide you with all the steps to see how to register a phone in Iran.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can You Use Your Phone in Iran<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While traveling around you have two options to use your phone. One way is to pay the roaming fees which is almost expensive and use your own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tappersia.com\/iran-sim-card\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iran sim card<\/a>; besides, you might not have access to mobile data and you can only use WiFi. Or you can buy an Iranian Sim Card and in case of using it for more than a month, you will need to register your cellphone. As a custom fee, you will need to pay a small fee for the process. But if you are not planning to stay more than 30 years, you don&#8217;t need to register your phone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Should I Register My Phone in Iran?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the implementation of Iran\u2019s National Mobile Registry Plan back in October 2017, people must register all new mobile phones to be eligible for use in Iran. This law is to fight smuggling phones to Iran. As a result, all the people who want to use their phones for more than one month in Iran will need to register their phones as a way to pay the customs fees. The good news is that foreign tourists visiting the country can use Iranian SIM Cards on their phones. However, you need to register your phone if you are going to stay more than 30 days.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might be wondering how actually the 30 days count! Well, the 30 days would start from the moment you put the local SIM Card on your phone and turn it on for the very first time. That being said, <\/span><b>your phone will stop working 30 days after it is turned on for the first time with an Iranian SIM Card<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This means even if you stay in Iran for less than a month and plan to come back later and use the same phone, you can\u2019t use it. In order to use it, you have to register through the <a href=\"https:\/\/hamtainfo.ntsw.ir\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HAMTA<\/a> website.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tappersia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/how-to-register-mobile-phone-in-Iran.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-45370\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tappersia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/how-to-register-mobile-phone-in-Iran.jpg\" alt=\"how-to-register-mobile-phone-in-Iran\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re among travelers who plan to use your mobile phone for more than 30 days or if you are traveling here for a second time with the same cell phone, you must register your mobile phone in Iran. Besides, you have to pay a registration fee which is based on the model and ROM of your mobile.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Note that the new law issued on August 9, 2020, indicates that only sim cards being activated for more than 20 days can be registered. That is to say that after buying and activating a sim card, one cannot register it not until 20 days passed from activation. The law for registering before 30 days stays input; meaning that you will need to register a sim card between 20 to 30 days of activation.\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bear in mind that, you can register your phone either yourself, Tappersia&#8217;s operation team help, or by mobile operator shops. If you are looking to go to an operator&#8217;s shop, take your passport with you and they will take care of everything.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What You Need to Register your Phone in Iran\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your phone\u2019s IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) \u2013 A 15 digi<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tappersia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMEI-checker-to-register-mobile-phone-in-Iran.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-45372 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.tappersia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/IMEI-checker-to-register-mobile-phone-in-Iran.jpg\" alt=\"IMEI-checker-to-register-mobile-phone-in-Iran\" width=\"448\" height=\"270\" \/><\/a>t number that you can find in the phone\u2019s box or on the phone settings under \u201cPhone status-IMEI information\u201d OR\u00a0 get by dialing *#06#<\/span><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sim card phone number you bought in Iran(purchased with your own passport ) \u2013 a code will be sent to your phone number in order to proceed with the registration<\/span><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your passport number and your visa extension code (the 16 digit code that comes with your visa extension document)<\/span><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>WiFi to access the website and to be able to pay the fees.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online Mobile Registration; A Step by Step Instructions<\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately, the process is in Persian but no worries.
