Most-searched prefixes
These blocks get the most "what network" searches, usually because a newer sub-brand issued them and people are not sure who they belong to.
Four networks, seven brands
Every Philippine mobile number was issued by one of three operators. The brand on the SIM can differ from the network behind it.
One of the two big Philippine mobile operators (since 1994). Runs Globe Prepaid, Globe Postpaid, TM, GOMO and the Cherry Prepaid MVNO.
Smart Communications40 prefixesPLDT's wireless arm and the other big operator. Runs Smart Prepaid, Smart Postpaid, TNT (Talk 'N Text) and the former Sun Cellular numbers.
Sun Cellular (now Smart)17 prefixesLaunched by Digitel in 2003, bought by PLDT in 2011 and folded into Smart. Sun prefixes still exist and run on the Smart network.
DITO Telecommunity7 prefixesThe third operator, live since March 2021. Not a Globe or Smart sub-brand: it runs its own 4G/5G network on 089X and 099X prefixes.
How to tell the network from the number
- Take the first four digits. A Philippine mobile number is 09XX-YYY-YYYY. In +63 format, drop the +63 and add a 0: +63 917 → 0917.
- Match the prefix. Each four-digit block was assigned to one operator by the NTC. That is the answer the checker gives.
- Remember porting. Since 2021 owners can move to another network and keep the number. The prefix shows the original network; the live one can differ.
Why people check
- A missed call from an unknown 09XX number. Know the network before deciding whether to call back, and spot prefixes that are not real mobile blocks.
- Promo and rate planning. Unli-call and unli-text promos are usually on-net only. Knowing the other person's network tells you whether your promo covers them.
- Buying a second-hand SIM. Check that the prefix matches the network the seller claims.
- Cleaning a contact list. Paste up to 50 numbers into the bulk checker and download the result.
Common questions
Can this site tell me who owns a number?
No. We identify the network behind a prefix, never the subscriber. Subscriber data is protected under the Data Privacy Act (RA 10173) and carriers do not publish it.
Is the answer always right?
The prefix answer is the network that the NTC assigned the block to. Because of Mobile Number Portability the number could have moved to another network; the checker tells you the original issuer.
Does it work for landlines?
No. Landlines use area codes (02, 032, 082...) and have no mobile network. Use the landline area code tool instead.
Where does the data come from?
NTC memorandum circulars, the carriers own prefix and coverage pages, and cross-checked community lists. Every prefix shows its confidence and its last-checked date.
Do you store the numbers I check?
No. Lookups run in your browser from a small prefix table; nothing is sent to us unless your browser falls back to our API, which is not logged.
