What are the MCC and MNC codes in Germany?
Every mobile network in Germany shares Mobile Country Code (MCC) 262 — the three-digit prefix that opens every PLMN broadcast by a Germany SIM. The country's international dialling prefix is +49, which is distinct from the MCC: 262 identifies the country inside the network, while +49 routes voice calls. Under ISO 3166 Germany is coded DE / DEU / 276. This page lists 36 mobile networks across 42 PLMN codes operating in Germany, with each network's MNC, full PLMN, operator, status and market share.
By reported market reach, the largest networks in Germany are Telekom (66%), O2 (27.9%), Vodafone (25.1%).
