The Complete List of Mobile Number Prefixes in the Philippines 2021

Updated List Of Mobile Number Prefixes In The Philippines

We frequently come across the question “Is your mobile number Globe or Smart?” most especially when we meet new acquaintances or get the contacts of someone we have known previously. The mobile number prefixes in the Philippines grew a lot from before, which has placed us in a lot of confusion whether what service provider the mobile number is under. For this reason, we have listed the mobile number prefixes in the Philippines for 2021 that you can use as a guide to determine which mobile network the mobile number is.

Anyhow, what does the mobile number prefix mean? A mobile number consists of 11-digits, and the first four digits are the prefix. If your mobile number is 0955-987-6543, then the mobile number prefix is 0955. The purpose of these prefixes is to classify each mobile number to determine what mobile networks they belong to.

I bet, even if you have a good memory, it is puzzling to remember all of these mobile number prefixes and which mobile networks they are under. Looking back, a decade ago, the mobile number prefixes can be summarized even if you’re just a high school student. But due to the rapid innovation of communication, many people have switched from telephones to mobile phones that caused the sudden rise of mobile number prefixes. As I said, the mobile number prefixes are continuously growing, and maybe, after years have passed, it will increase a lot since another third-player telecommunication company will soon be established here in the Philippines.

Globe Telecom and Smart Communications are both considered the top mobile networks here in the Philippines. Under Smart Communication are their subsidiary Sun Cellular and Talk N’ Text, and under Globe Telecom is Republika ng TM. ABS-CBN Network now also has its subsidiary, which is ABS-CBN Mobile. They operate using Globe network infrastructure. At the same time, Extelcom, Cherry Mobile, DITO, and Next are considered less popular mobile service providers in the Philippines.

The list provided with mobile number prefixes that are often updated can come in handy to guide you in determining which mobile network the mobile number belongs to. This list will also be useful if you want to register in a call or text service and pick out which promo is suitable for you, especially if you want to call or text a certain number. Knowing your mobile network and the people you want to get in touch with is essential to avoid additional charges during network connections.
