Iran ‘lifts block on SMS texting’ July 5, 2009
Reports from Iran say that SMS text messaging services have been unblocked for the first time since disputed presidential elections.
However, Iranian news agencies say there are still technical problems.
Text messaging and social networks were widely used by protesters in mass rallies following the election.
Defeated opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi this week called on the government to end its interference in phone networks and the internet.
Correspondents say texting has been restricted since 11 June - the day before disputed elections which saw the controversial re-election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
The lifting of the restrictions has been reported by a number of Iranian news agencies monitored by the BBC, including Tabnak.ir, a conservative website believed to be associated with former Islamic Revolutionary Guards commander Mohsen Rezai.
