What are the MCC and MNC codes in Tanzania?
Every mobile network in Tanzania shares Mobile Country Code (MCC) 640 — the three-digit prefix that opens every PLMN broadcast by a Tanzania SIM. The country's international dialling prefix is +255, which is distinct from the MCC: 640 identifies the country inside the network, while +255 routes voice calls. Under ISO 3166 Tanzania is coded TZ / TZA / 834. This page lists 13 mobile networks operating in Tanzania, with each network's MNC, full PLMN, operator, status and market share.
