Phone Number Start With

 
Do you know what prefix your phone number begins with? See all MTN, Glo, Airtel, 9mobile, NTEL, and other Nigerian mobile phone number prefixes.

Are you trying to send a bulk SMS targeted at your customers who use different mobile networl and needs to sort your list of customers phone numbers by their network provider? 

 Here, I have got you covered! I am going to be sharing all the prefixes Nigerian Mobile Phones start with. But first, you might have your phone numbers in different format and unclean form.

 
Do you have your numbers in different formats? with some starting with 234, some just the first zero e.g. 0705 or some don't even have the first zero e.g 8065432341. Code.ng have got you covered. As you already phone numbers are usually ten in number without the first zero. 

To clean your data, if you have it on an excel sheet on a single column, simply type =CONCATENATE(234,RIGHT(A2,10)) on the cell beside your first number. This will add 234 to the last 10 digits of your numbers. 

Ok, now let's dive into the main topic of discussion. The prefixes of Mobile Phone Numbers in Nigeria. Be it MTN, GLO, Airtel, 9Mobile or others. We will be discussing what each network starts with.

Prefixes to phone numbers are notoriously difficult to decipher. The days of having only 0803, 0802, 0805, and 0809 numbers are long gone. Nigeria is so crowded that the basic figures can't possibly include the entire population. 

Have you ever tried to figure out who the carrier of a phone number is? When you need to reach a certain carrier on the same network, numbers like the ones shown below might be rather annoying. As of the time of writing, I've included a list of all Nigerian mobile phone number prefixes... However, any new number prefix must be added to the database on a regular basis.

Please NOTE! Since the implementation of Mobile Number Portability in Nigeria in 2013, the number prefix can no longer be used to reliably determine the operator.

The Mobile Number Portability plan allows you to switch networks without having to change your phone number.

So, without further ado, let's jump right into this CODE.ng article. Prefixes for your mobile phone numbers can be seen in the table below.
