MyCountry Number is the best way to receive your incoming international calls with a local in-country phone number that rings to any phone you choose here in the U.S. When you sign up for MyCountry Number, Americatel will assign you a phone number in your home country. You can choose to receive all calls to that number on any U.S. phone, even cell phones.
With MyCountry Number friends and family in your home country can call you here in the United States for the cost of a local call for them and at no additional cost to you, except a low monthly fee for unlimited incoming calls.
We are working to expand the MyCountry Number service to many other destinations. MyCountry Number is currently available in the following countries:
Iran, Tehran
The “cost of a local call” is the price your family or friend must pay to make a local call in their country of residence. This price is determined by that person’s telephone service provider. In many cases the cost is low or even part of a service package.
In this case, family and friends can either choose to call you at your MyCountry Number or they can always call your US number. Usually the price of in-country long distance will be cheaper for them than calling internationally to the US.
There is no special equipment for you or the people who call you at your MyCountry Number. There are also no installation charges.
Because we need to first assign you a local in-country telephone number, and then route calls from your MyCounty Number to a U.S. cell phone or landline number of your choosing, MyCountry Number takes approximately 24 hours to set up.
For a fixed monthly fee, you can receive unlimited calls from loved ones in your home country. You will be billed directly by Startec for this service.
Iran $14.99 per month
