My family is in Iran, and with the ongoing conflict, it's been incredibly difficult to stay in touch. The government has shut down the internet, isolating millions and severing communication lines with the outside world. The tension of not knowing their safety or well-being has been overwhelming.

This petition calls for major phone carriers to step up during these trying times by offering free international calling to Iran. Access to affordable and consistent communication is a human right, especially during crises when lives may hang in the balance. Allowing families to connect without the burden of fees represents a vital show of humanitarian aid that these corporations can provide right now.

Telecommunications companies like Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and others have a history of providing such services during natural disasters and emergencies. It is time they extend the same courtesy and compassion to individuals trying to reach family and friends in Iran.

We cannot let our loved ones' voices go silent because of arbitrary financial barriers, especially when technology should be bringing us closer. Demand that phone carriers provide free international calling to Iran now. Sign this petition to urge them into action—families shouldn’t be kept apart because of insurmountable call costs.
