They must be smuggled inside the country and the dictatorship can say anything they want and charge if they get caught so they must be very few in numbers

Those who have one surely keep that fact secret.
There are ~100,000 users, about 0.1% of the population: https://www.newsweek.com/starlink-usage-iran-skyrockets-brea...
Compare that to the number of cell phone users which is very close to 100%. All estimates of the number of mobile subscribers or number of mobile phone numbers are greater than the total population.
