What are the MCC and MNC codes in Uganda?
Every mobile network in Uganda shares Mobile Country Code (MCC) 641 — the three-digit prefix that opens every PLMN broadcast by a Uganda SIM. The country's international dialling prefix is +256, which is distinct from the MCC: 641 identifies the country inside the network, while +256 routes voice calls. Under ISO 3166 Uganda is coded UG / UGA / 800. This page lists 15 mobile networks across 16 PLMN codes operating in Uganda, with each network's MNC, full PLMN, operator, status and market share.
