Armenia has three carriers: Team Telecom (formerly VivaCell-MTS, largest nationwide coverage), Ucom (Rostelecom Armenia subsidiary, 5G in Yerevan), and Beeline Armenia (Veon). Plugs are Type C and F (standard European), 220V. 4G coverage reaches Yerevan, Gyumri, Vanadzor, Sevan, Dilijan, and most tourist monasteries (Tatev, Geghard, Garni, Echmiadzin). On roads toward Stepanakert (Nagorno-Karabakh) and the Iranian border, coverage drops in deep valleys.
