What are the MCC and MNC codes in Lesotho?
Every mobile network in Lesotho shares Mobile Country Code (MCC) 651 — the three-digit prefix that opens every PLMN broadcast by a Lesotho SIM. The country's international dialling prefix is +266, which is distinct from the MCC: 651 identifies the country inside the network, while +266 routes voice calls.
