    Network Prefixes in the Philippines


    In the Philippines, determining whether a mobile number belongs to Globe or Smart can be
    puzzling. But fear not! Our comprehensive guide is here to simplify the process. Dive into
    the world of mobile number prefixes and discover how to differentiate between networks
    effortlessly.

    Understanding Mobile Number Prefixes


    Mobile number prefixes serve as the gateway to identifying the network provider behind an
    11-digit mobile number. These prefixes, comprising the first four digits of a number, hold
    the key to discerning whether it belongs to Smart, Globe, DITO, or another telecom giant in
    the Philippines.

    For example, take the number 09181234567. Its prefix, 0918, indicates its network
    affiliation.

    Major Mobile Networks in the Philippines


    As of 2024, the major mobile networks in the Philippines are:
    Smart Communications
    Globe Telecom
    DITO Telecommunity
    Sun Cellular (subsidiary of Smart)
    Talk ‘N Text (TNT) (subsidiary of Smart)

    Importance of Mobile Number Prefixes

    A typical mobile number in the Philippines consists of 11 digits (e.g., 09913441812). The first
    four digits, known as the "mobile number prefix" (e.g., 0991), determine the specific mobile
    network. Each network has unique prefixes, which makes it possible to identify the network
    of a contact. This is particularly useful to avoid extra charges, especially when availing
    network-specific promotions.
    Challenges in Identifying Mobile Prefixes

    There are over 70 mobile prefixes in the Philippines, making it challenging to remember
    which prefixes belong to which networks. Unless your job involves frequent calls to different
    networks, it can be difficult to keep track. When faced with an unfamiliar prefix, you might
    need to ask someone, "Is 0956 Globe or Smart?"
    Wouldn’t it be easier to have a complete guide of mobile prefixes at your fingertips? Visit
