SIM Glossary

MCC and MNC

An MCC (Mobile Country Code) and MNC (Mobile Network Code) are numeric codes used to identify a country and a mobile network operator within the GSM mobile telephony system. The MCC identifies the country, while the MNC identifies the specific operator within that country.

In France, there are several mobile network operators, and each has its own MCC and MNC. Below are the details for the four main French operators: Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom, and Free Mobile:

Operator MCC MNC
Orange 208 01
SFR (Altice) 208 10
Bouygues Telecom 208 20
Free Mobile 208 15

The MCC for France is the same for all operators (208) because it identifies the country, while the MNC is specific to each operator and allows them to be distinguished within the country.

These codes are primarily used in mobile device network settings to ensure that they connect to the correct network when in a given country.
