Calling Iran from Canada: what to know

Iran answers on the country code +98, with the capital in Tehran and most business concentrated around Tehran, Mashhad and Isfahan. The working language for business is Persian (Farsi), and local offices generally keep hours of 8:00 to 16:30 Saturday Wednesday; Thursday morning only; Friday is the weekend.

From Canada the outbound access code is 011, so a manual dial reads 011 then +98 then the local number. Intercalling removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between Canada and Iran.

Most mobiles in Iran sit on operators such as MCI (Hamrah-e Avval), Irancell, RighTel. Iran runs Saturday Wednesday work week (Thursday half-day, Friday off).

Iran runs on UTC plus 3:30, and it does not observe daylight saving, so the time difference stays constant through the year.
