What are the MCC and MNC codes in Norway?
Every mobile network in Norway shares Mobile Country Code (MCC) 242 — the three-digit prefix that opens every PLMN broadcast by a Norway SIM. The country's international dialling prefix is +47, which is distinct from the MCC: 242 identifies the country inside the network, while +47 routes voice calls. Under ISO 3166 Norway is coded NO / NOR / 578. This page lists 23 mobile networks across 30 PLMN codes operating in Norway, with each network's MNC, full PLMN, operator, status and market share.
