Hi @Sara173,

Welcome to the EE Community

Are you on Pay as you go mobile or a pay monthly mobile contract? Pay as you go you would need to top up before being able to make the call so you can make the payment and then make the call.

Pay monthly you would not need to make payment before being able to make the call, rather the call charges would go on your next monthly bill.

You can see the costs for calling Iran from your mobile using our Calling abroad calculator here. There are add-ons available for calling abroad on contract which may make things cheaper for you, details can also be found on that link above.

If you do have a spend cap in place on your EE mobile, this may prevent you from making the call depending on what you have the cap set at. You can read more about spend caps including how to change them here.

International calls & texts to overseas nos. from UK can be rather expensive but EE has a add-on, for £2.16 pm for those on contract or free for some legacy PAYG, that can be applied for to give these calls & texts at a fraction of the standard rates. See The CALL ABROAD Add-on for Cheap Calls/Texts from UK .
