Mobile country code#International operators
{{Short description|Number identifying a country in mobile networks}}
{{Use dmy dates|date=December 2021}}
The ITU-T Recommendation E.212 defines mobile country codes (MCC) as well as mobile network codes (MNC).
The mobile country code consists of three decimal digits and the mobile network code consists of two or three decimal digits (for example: MNC of 001 is not the same as MNC of 01). The first digit of the mobile country code identifies the geographic region as follows (the digits 1 and 8 are not used):
- 0: Test networks
- 2: Europe
- 3: North America and the Caribbean
- 4: Asia and the Middle East
- 5: Australia and Oceania
- 6: Africa
- 7: South and Central America
- 9: Worldwide (Satellite, Air—aboard aircraft, Maritime—aboard ships, Antarctica)
An MCC is used in combination with an MNC (a combination known as an "MCC/MNC tuple") to uniquely identify a mobile network operator (carrier) using the GSM (including GSM-R), UMTS, LTE, and 5G public land mobile networks. Some but not all CDMA, iDEN, and satellite mobile networks are identified with an MCC/MNC tuple as well. For WiMAX networks, a globally unique Broadband Operator ID can be derived from the MCC/MNC tuple.{{cite web|title=Use of the IEEE 802.16 Operator ID with IEEE Std 802.16 Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks|url=https://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/tut/bopid.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110606045509/http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/tut/bopid.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=6 June 2011|publisher=IEEE|access-date=14 May 2015}} TETRA networks use the mobile country code from ITU-T Recommendation E.212 together with a 14-bit binary mobile network code (T-MNC) where only values between 0 and 9999 are used.{{cite web |title=ETSI EN 300 392-1 V1.6.1 (2020-04): Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA); Voice plus Data (V+D); Part 1: General network design |url=https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_en/300300_300399/30039201/01.06.01_60/en_30039201v010601p.pdf |publisher=ETSI |date=2020 |access-date=2024-01-25}} However, a TETRA network may be assigned an E.212 network code as well.{{cite web |title=ETSI TR 102 300-5 V1.4.1 (2015-06): Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA); Voice plus Data (V+D); Designers' guide; Part 5: Guidance on numbering and addressing |url=https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_tr/102300_102399/10230005/01.04.01_60/tr_10230005v010401p.pdf |publisher=ETSI |date=2015 |access-date=2024-01-25}} Some network operators do not have their own radio access network at all. These are called mobile virtual network operators (MVNO) and are marked in the tables as such. Note that MVNOs without their own MCC/MNC (that is, they share the MCC/MNC of their host network) are not listed here.
The following tables attempt to provide a complete list of mobile network operators. Country information, including ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes is provided for completeness. Mostly for historical reasons, one E.212 MCC may correspond to multiple ISO country codes (e.g., MCC 362 corresponds to BQ, CW, and SX). Some operators also choose to use an MCC outside the geographic area that it was assigned to (e.g. Digicel uses the Jamaica MCC throughout the Caribbean). ITU-T updates an official list of mobile network codes in its Operational Bulletins which are published twice a month. ITU-T also publishes complete lists: as of January 2024 list issued on 15 November 2023 was current, having all MCC/MNC before 15 November 2023. The official list is often incomplete as national MNC authorities do not forward changes to the ITU in a timely manner. The official list does not provide additional details such as bands and technologies and may not list disputed territories such as Abkhazia or Kosovo.
