NCRI – The social media company Telegram denied remarks made by Iranian Communications Minister Mahmoud Vaezi based on the launch of its voice phone service in Iran hinging on the consensus of operators.
“Establishing Telegram’s voice communication is conditioned on mobile phone operators in Iran,” Vaezi had claimed. Telegram responded to a question in this regard on its website, saying we are providing our voice service across the globe and in our opinion Iran is no different from any other country in the world. This service will be launched in due time in Iran, the company added.
IT experts believe Telegram’s step by step free voice service launches in Europe, the U.S. and Asia is based on resolving possible glitches, and not aimed at having negotiations between Telegram and the Iranian regime. Technically speaking, voice connection in applications such as Telegram has nothing to do with mobile phone operating systems.
