This is a list of Mobile Country Codes (MCCs) defined in ITU E.212 ("Land Mobile Numbering Plan") for use in identifying mobile stations in wireless telephone networks, particularly GSM and UMTS networks. A MCC is often used in combination with a Mobile Network Code (as a "MCC / MNC tuple") in order to uniquely identify a network operator.
The MCC is part of the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) number, which uniquely identifies a particular subscriber, and is stored on a (usually) removable SIM card. The current MCC (i.e. the country in which the modem is now) may also be obtained from a GSM/UMTS wireless modem using the AT command AT+COPS:

[edit] Notes
- 000-099, 100-199, and 800-899 are Reserved codes.
- 901 is used for International Shared Codes, for allocations to trans-national networks (e.g. satellite). (See below table.)
