What are the MCC and MNC codes in Australia?
Every mobile network in Australia shares Mobile Country Code (MCC) 505 — the three-digit prefix that opens every PLMN broadcast by a Australia SIM. The country's international dialling prefix is +61, which is distinct from the MCC: 505 identifies the country inside the network, while +61 routes voice calls. Under ISO 3166 Australia is coded AU / AUS / 036. This page lists 56 mobile networks across 61 PLMN codes operating in Australia, with each network's MNC, full PLMN, operator, status and market share.
