Disclaimer

  • The mobile prefixes are only a sort of general/common understanding of what networks these prefixes may belong to.
  • However, practically any network can carry any number of prefixes. An example might be when an HR department of a big company subscribes from one network for its staff and, years after, decides to move to another network; they may retain their prefixes as per agreement to the new network.
  • At least, we’ve heard about this scenario.
