London, UK (PRWEB) June 11, 2014 -- Rental mobile charges in the Middle East region vary between USD 0.25 (Iran) and USD 681 (the UAE). Meanwhile, the average monthly rental charge of all postpaid plans stands at USD 51.62. The per minute charge for a voice call is no over USD 0.15 in the Middle East region except in Lebanon, where it is USD 0.25 in peak hours.

The average prices for SMS and MMS in the region stand at USD 0.05 and USD 0.14, respectively.
Some mobile operators in the region levy lower international call charges to the US rather than to any neighbouring country. IDD bundles are following an increasing trend and can provide discounts of far above 50% on the per minute rate. Roaming charges in the Middle East region attract an average of USD 2.25 and USD 1.25 per minute when calling back home from the roaming destination in the US and Saudi Arabia, respectively. On the whole, roaming in a neighbouring country like Saudi Arabia tends to be far cheaper.
