Complete List of Mobile Network Prefixes in the Philippines

 

📱 What Are Mobile Prefixes?

In the Philippines, mobile phone numbers have 11 digits, and the first four digits (e.g., 0917) are called the mobile network prefix. These prefixes were originally assigned to specific network providers (e.g., Globe, Smart, DITO) by the telecom regulator.

🧠 Notes & Practical Tips

• Mobile Number Portability (MNP) allows users to keep their number when switching networks. This means a prefix might not always match the current network — it shows the original assignment.
• Some prefixes can be used for postpaid, prepaid, WiFi devices, or IoT services, so context matters.
• For live verification of a number’s current network, many telcos and third-party apps offer “Know Your Network” services.
