Get your phone number in Iran

Although this post might look like a commercial, I believe it is valuable enough to mention.
Those fellows who were using Skype for their voice communications might be familiar with Skype-in service. With skype-in, you can buy your own local phone number and have it diverted to your skype messenger (for free) or any phone number in the world (at cost). Since the voice traffic is transmitted over the internet, it is cheaper than conventional international calls. The beauty of this service is the convenience it brings to people who wish to call you; they just use your local number without worrying about where in the world you are.
The unfortunate thing is Skype-in is not available in many countries so not everyone may benefit from this service.
I've recently discovered that a company has started offering same service in Iran. After the huge upgrade to Tehran's telephony infrastructure, there are enough directory numbers for everyone living outside of Iran to have their very own phone number.
