[59066] A wave of advertisements for selling internet data volume in popular Telegram channels in Iran

Rise in advertising of internet services on Telegram in Iran

On May 13, 2026, a significant wave of advertisements offering the sale of data volume at discounted prices was noticeable in various Telegram channels in Iran. The publications focus on providing network access solutions, while hinting at bypassing blocks ("You will no longer need to pay for a filter").

According to کانال هواداران استقلال and اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری, gigabyte-volume packages are being offered at a price ranging between 100 and 150 thousand Tomans. The channels, which present themselves as parties providing "direct and non-mediated" sales, promise 24/7 support and a refund in case of dissatisfaction, and direct users to a dedicated bot (@premiumzone6bot).

At the same time, the channel هات نیوز | فوری 🔴 published another offer, proposing a price of 250 thousand Tomans per gigabyte. According to the channel, this is a limited-time offer for 24 hours only, regardless of the amount of volume purchased, and it directs interested parties to contact a specific Telegram account (@TROYASL).

These are advertisements aimed at the general public dealing with internet restrictions in Iran, where the channels use marketing tactics of "last chance" and "special price" to drive users to take action. It should be noted that these channels are characterized by mixed content, which sometimes includes political and military updates alongside aggressive commercial advertisements.
