What are the MCC and MNC codes in Kenya?
Every mobile network in Kenya shares Mobile Country Code (MCC) 639 — the three-digit prefix that opens every PLMN broadcast by a Kenya SIM. The country's international dialling prefix is +254, which is distinct from the MCC: 639 identifies the country inside the network, while +254 routes voice calls. Under ISO 3166 Kenya is coded KE / KEN / 404. This page lists 14 mobile networks operating in Kenya, with each network's MNC, full PLMN, operator, status and market share.
