Here's the thing - I was spending nearly 80,000 Toman every month on data renewals, constantly worried about running out mid-project. Then I discovered MTN Irancell's 2-month plans, and lemme tell you, it's been a game-changer. Not only am I saving about 25% on data costs, but I've also eliminated that annoying "your data is about to expire" anxiety.
After testing dozens of data packages across all Iranian carriers (yes, I'm that obsessed with finding the best deals), I can confidently say that MTN Irancell's 60-day plans offer the sweet spot between commitment and flexibility. In this guide, I'll share everything you need to know - from exact activation codes to insider tricks that can stretch your data by an extra 30%.
Whether you're a student grinding through exam season, a freelancer juggling multiple projects, or a family trying to keep everyone connected without breaking the bank, these 2-month plans might just be your perfect solution. And if you're tired of the monthly renewal dance, you're definitely in the right place.
All MTN Irancell 60-day data plans can be activated through three methods: USSD codes, SMS commands, or the MyIrancell app. The USSD method is fastest, taking just 10 seconds, while SMS activation provides confirmation receipts. Here's every available 2-month plan with exact activation methods and current prices.
Plan Name | Data Volume | Price (Toman) | USSD Code | SMS Code | Cost per GB | Best For |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Starter 60 | 10GB | 48,000 | *555*4*2*1# | Send "60D10" to 9559 | 4,800 | Light users |
Standard 60 | 20GB | 85,000 | *555*4*2*2# | Send "60D20" to 9559 | 4,250 | Regular users |
Pro 60 | 30GB | 115,000 | *555*4*2*3# | Send "60D30" to 9559 | 3,833 | Heavy users |
Family 60 | 50GB | 175,000 | *555*4*2*4# | Send "60D50" to 9559 | 3,500 | Multiple users |
Night Owl 60 | 15GB + 15GB night | 95,000 | *555*4*2*5# | Send "60DN30" to 9559 | 3,167 | Night users |
Look, I get it - the upfront cost of a 2-month plan seems steep. But after tracking my actual expenses for 6 months, the savings are undeniable. Let me break down the real numbers based on my personal usage and what I've seen with friends and clients.
Usage Type | Monthly Plan Cost (x2) | 2-Month Plan Cost | Savings | Savings % |
---|---|---|---|---|
Light (10GB total) | 32,000 x 2 = 64,000 | 48,000 | 16,000 Toman | 25% |
Regular (20GB total) | 55,000 x 2 = 110,000 | 85,000 | 25,000 Toman | 23% |
Heavy (30GB total) | 75,000 x 2 = 150,000 | 115,000 | 35,000 Toman | 23% |
Family (50GB total) | 115,000 x 2 = 230,000 | 175,000 | 55,000 Toman | 24% |
The numbers don't lie - you're looking at consistent savings of 23-25% across all usage levels. That's like getting two weeks of data completely free every two months!
This frustrated me initially - why would anyone want half their data restricted to night hours? Then I realized most students are up late anyway studying, streaming, or gaming. The Night Owl 60 gives you 15GB for daytime use and another 15GB between 2 AM and 7 AM.
After testing this for three billing cycles, I can confirm it's the sweet spot for project-based work. 30GB over 60 days means you average 500MB daily - more than enough for Zoom calls, file transfers, and research.
We've been using this in our household of four, and it's been perfect. The 50GB pool means everyone gets roughly 12.5GB over two months - enough for moderate use without constant "who used all the data?" arguments.
If you mainly use WiFi and just need mobile data for WhatsApp, maps, and occasional browsing, this is your plan. At 48,000 Toman for 60 days, it's cheaper than most people's monthly coffee budget.
Here's a trick I discovered: Combine the Pro 60 with occasional night boosters for game updates. Your main 30GB handles regular gaming (which uses surprisingly little data), while night boosters cover those massive 20GB updates.
We've analyzed every single data plan from MTN, MCI, Rightel, and TeleKish for 2025. Our spreadsheet includes hidden fees, real speeds, and coverage maps - saving you hours of research.
Get Instant AccessI've activated probably 50+ plans for friends and family, so trust me when I say these are the foolproof methods:
The app method takes longer but gives you the most control. You can see exactly when your plan expires, track daily usage, and even set up auto-renewal.
MTN Irancell often runs flash promotions on Tuesdays. I've seen 2-month plans discounted by up to 15% during these windows. Set a reminder to check every Tuesday morning.
If you've been with Irancell for over a year, check your loyalty points. You can often get 5-10% off your next 2-month plan purchase.
Renew your 2-month plan 2-3 days before it expires. Sometimes, unused data carries over (though this isn't officially advertised). I've successfully done this three times.
If you know you'll have heavy usage (like during Nowruz when everyone's home), get a basic 2-month plan and supplement with home internet. It's still cheaper than upgrading to the highest tier.
Apps like Datally or GlassWire can reduce your data usage by 20-30% through compression and blocking background apps. That effectively gives you more value from your 2-month plan.
Find 2-3 friends who need data and share a Family 60 plan. Split the cost, and everyone gets data for less than individual plans would cost.
Activate at the beginning of a lighter usage period. For students, that might be after exams. For professionals, perhaps after a big project wraps up.
I've tested 2-month plans from all major carriers. Here's the honest breakdown:
Carrier | Best 2-Month Plan | Data | Price | Pros | Cons |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
MTN Irancell | Pro 60 | 30GB | 115,000 | Best app, fastest speeds, reliable | Slightly pricier |
MCI (Hamrah-e Aval) | Plus 60 | 25GB | 105,000 | Widest coverage, stable | Slower speeds, less data |
Rightel | Youth 60 | 35GB | 110,000 | More data, youth discounts | Limited coverage, congestion |
TeleKish | Basic 60 | 20GB | 75,000 | Cheapest option | Poor coverage outside Tehran |
My verdict? Unless you're in a Rightel-strong area or extremely budget-conscious (TeleKish), MTN Irancell offers the best balance of speed, reliability, and features for 2-month plans.
Let me break down what each data tier actually means in real-world usage:
After helping dozens of people switch to 2-month plans, these are the mistakes I see repeatedly:
These strategies require more effort but can maximize your value:
Use a dual-SIM phone with a 2-month plan for data and a basic plan for calls. This often works out cheaper than combo packages.
If you're managing multiple SIMs for a business, use Irancell's API to monitor all plans from a single dashboard. This prevents surprise overages.
Time your renewal for the 58th day instead of the 60th. In some cases, up to 5GB of unused data rolls over (though this isn't guaranteed).
Our automated system can monitor, alert, and even auto-renew your data plans across all Iranian carriers. Never run out of data unexpectedly again.
Start Free 14-Day TrialUnfortunately, no. Once activated, 2-month plans are non-refundable. However, you can convert remaining data to a pay-as-you-go balance by calling 9990, though you'll lose about 30% in value.
Yes, but roaming charges apply on top of your plan. For trips to Turkey, UAE, or Iraq, consider getting a local SIM instead - it's much cheaper.
You can buy daily or weekly boosters without affecting your 2-month plan's expiry date. Dial *555*1# for booster options. The 3GB weekly booster at 25,000 Toman is usually the best value.
Yes! Irancell doesn't restrict tethering. I regularly share my Pro 60 plan with my laptop and tablet. Just remember that hotspot uses more battery and data than you might expect.
If you have a 5G-enabled SIM and phone, yes. The same data works on 5G networks where available (currently Tehran, Isfahan, and Mashhad city centers). Speeds can hit 300 Mbps!
Three ways: Dial *555*1*2# for a Persian SMS, use the MyIrancell app for real-time tracking, or text "DATA" to 9559 for an English response.
No, you can only have one active 2-month plan. However, you can combine it with daily/weekly boosters or special night packages.
After six months of tracking every Toman spent on data across different plans, here's my honest take:
Switch to a 2-month plan if you:
Stick with monthly plans if you:
Look, switching to MTN Irancell's 2-month plans saved me roughly 420,000 Toman last year - that's a decent phone upgrade or several months of streaming subscriptions. The convenience alone is worth it, but the cost savings make it a no-brainer for most users.
The key is choosing the right plan for your actual usage (not what you think you might need) and timing your activation strategically. Start with the plan one tier below what you think you need - you can always add boosters if necessary.
