The revenues from import duties on cellphone handsets increased by 600 percent in the year to March 2007 compared to figure for the preceding year.

The director of Iran Telecommunication Manufacturing Company (ITMC) said that domestically-made mobile phone handsets would enter the market in a few days.
Initially, the first domestically-made cellphone handsets would enter the market in June but this was delayed due to bureaucracy and high tariffs on SKD (semi-knockdown) devices.
