(Redirected from Mobile country code)
This is a 'list of Mobile
Country Codes (MCCs)' defined in
ITU E.212 ("Land Mobile Numbering Plan") for use in identifying mobile stations in
wireless telephone networks, particularly
GSM and
UMTS networks. A MCC is often used in combination with a
Mobile Network Code (as a "MCC / MNC tuple") in order to uniquely identify a network operator.
The MCC is part of the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (
IMSI) number, which uniquely identifies a particular subscriber, and is stored on a (usually) removable
SIM card. The current MCC (i.e. the country in which the modem is ''now'') may also be obtained from a GSM/UMTS wireless modem using the AT command AT+COPS:
National codes
Notes
★ 000-099, 100-199, and 800-899 are 'Reserved codes.'
★ 901 is used for International Shared Codes, for allocations to trans-national networks (e.g. satellite). (See below table.)
International Shared Codes
The ITU designates MCC 901 as a container for super-political telephone services. The following are the network codes for super-political providers under MCC 901:
Note
★ 901 08 is reserved for station identification where the mobile does not have a subscription IMSI (i.e. no SIM installed), for the purpose of making emergency calls without paid wireless service (which must be permitted in some jurisdictions).
