What are the MCC and MNC codes in Somalia?
Every mobile network in Somalia shares Mobile Country Code (MCC) 637 — the three-digit prefix that opens every PLMN broadcast by a Somalia SIM. The country's international dialling prefix is +252, which is distinct from the MCC: 637 identifies the country inside the network, while +252 routes voice calls. Under ISO 3166 Somalia is coded SO / SOM / 706. This page lists 12 mobile networks operating in Somalia, with each network's MNC, full PLMN, operator, status and market share.
