MCC code list: mobile country codes by country

A Mobile Country Code (MCC) is a three-digit number that identifies the country a mobile network belongs to, defined by ITU-T recommendation E.212. This reference maps every MCC in the dataset to its country — 244 country assignments across 232 distinct MCCs and 227 countries, from 202 (Greece) up to 750 (Falkland Islands). Each country links to its full operator and MNC list.

How to read the list

The MCC is not a dialling code and does not follow the same numbering as international prefixes — see MCC vs country calling code. Instead, the first digit of an MCC marks a broad world zone assigned by the ITU:

• 2xx — Europe
• 3xx — North America and the Caribbean
• 4xx — Asia and the Middle East
• 5xx — Oceania and Australia
• 6xx — Africa
• 7xx — South and Central America
• 9xx — worldwide and shared services (satellite, test, non-geographic)

A single country can hold more than one MCC — the United States uses 310–316, and the United Kingdom uses 234 and 235. Conversely a few MCCs are shared across neighbouring territories. To turn any MCC into a full network, append a Mobile Network Code (MNC) to form a PLMN; see MCC, MNC and PLMN explained for the full anatomy.

Looking up a specific code

This list resolves an MCC to a country. To go further — from a country to its carriers, or from a full MCC+MNC code to a single operator — open the country page, search the registry, or call the free JSON API. Worked country examples: MCC 310 (United States), MCC 234 (United Kingdom) and MCC 460 (China).

MCC assignments follow ITU-T E.212. Codes are zero-padded strings where padding is significant. This table lists distinct country assignments in the dataset and excludes non-geographic 9xx allocations. Explore the raw rows in the registry.
