What are the MCC and MNC codes in Nigeria?
Every mobile network in Nigeria shares Mobile Country Code (MCC) 621 — the three-digit prefix that opens every PLMN broadcast by a Nigeria SIM. The country's international dialling prefix is +234, which is distinct from the MCC: 621 identifies the country inside the network, while +234 routes voice calls. Under ISO 3166 Nigeria is coded NG / NGA / 566. This page lists 11 mobile networks operating in Nigeria, with each network's MNC, full PLMN, operator, status and market share.
