What is the combination of MCC and MNC?

In order to uniquely identify a mobile subscribers network the MCC is combined with a Mobile Network Code (MNC). The combination of MCC and MNC is called HNI (Home network identity) and is the combination of both in one string (e.g. MCC= 262 and MNC = 01 results in an HNI of 26201).

What is a mobile network code (MNC)?

Mobile Network Codes (MNC) are used by wireless networks using the IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) format. The code is made up of a 3 digit Mobile Country Code (MCC) followed by the 3 digit Mobile Network Code.

Which mobile networks are identified with an MCC/MNC tuple?

Some but not all CDMA, iDEN, and satellite mobile networks are identified with an MCC/MNC tuple as well. For WiMAX networks, a globally unique Broadband Operator ID can be derived from the MCC/MNC tuple. TETRA networks use the mobile country code from ITU-T Recommendation E.212 together with a 10-bit binary mobile network code.

Is the ITU-T list of MCC/MNCs complete?

ITU-T also publishes complete lists: as of January 2019 list issued on 15 December 2018 was current, having all MCC/MNC before 15 December 2018. Unfortunately, the official list is often incomplete as national MNC authorities do not forward changes to the ITU in a timely manner.
