MCC/MNC & PLMN Lookup

Romanian networks (MCC 226) are listed first. Click a row to load it into the tools below.

Numbers are portable in Romania (since 2008): a prefix shows the original allocation only, never the current operator.
PLMN ↔ BCD hex
SIM elementary files store the PLMN as three nibble-swapped BCD octets. Edit either side and the other updates.
ePDG / IMS hostname
Computed 3GPP hostnames for a PLMN. The MNC is always padded to three digits (mnc001, not mnc01).

IMSI split
Splits an IMSI into MCC / MNC / MSIN using the 2- vs 3-digit MNC length table.

MCC, MNC and the PLMN
Every mobile network is identified by a pair of numbers. The MCC (Mobile
Country Code) is three digits fixed by the ITU — 226 is Romania — and the
MNC (Mobile Network Code) identifies the operator inside that country. Put
together they form the PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network) identity, the value a
phone reads from a base station and from the IMSI on the SIM to decide whether it is at home or
roaming. This tool searches a curated list and shows each operator with a status, so retired
and reserved codes are never mistaken for live ones.
Romania went from four operators to three
The Romanian block is kept current on purpose, because most tables online are stale. After the 2025 carve-up, Telekom Romania Mobile (226-03, ex-Cosmote) is being absorbed into Vodafone and is marked defunct; the live networks are Vodafone (226-01), Orange (226-10) and Digi (226-05). Remember too that numbers have been portable in Romania since 2008, so a phone-number prefix tells you the original allocation only — never the current operator.
BCD encoding and the ePDG hostname
SIM elementary files do not store the PLMN as plain digits: they use three nibble-swapped
BCD octets, so 226 01 is written 22F610 (the F is
the filler for a two-digit MNC). The converter goes both ways for reading raw SIM or network
traces. The FQDN helper computes the deterministic 3GPP names a device uses for VoWiFi and IMS
— for example epdg.epc.mnc001.mcc226.pub.3gppnetwork.org. The classic bug is the
MNC padding: it is always three digits, so Vodafone RO is mnc001, not
mnc01. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
What are MCC, MNC and PLMN?
The MCC is the 3-digit Mobile Country Code (226 for Romania), the MNC identifies the operator within that country, and together they form the PLMN that identifies a network. This tool searches them and shows each operator status, including the post-2025 Romanian market (Telekom Romania Mobile was split between Vodafone and Digi in 2025 and its network is being wound down).
What is the BCD hex converter for?
SIM elementary files store the PLMN as three nibble-swapped BCD octets — 226 01 becomes 22F610. The converter goes both ways, which is handy when reading raw SIM or network traces.
How is the ePDG hostname built?
VoWiFi devices find the ePDG at epdg.epc.mncXXX.mccYYY.pub.3gppnetwork.org, where the MNC is always padded to three digits. The tool computes it from any PLMN you enter — for Vodafone RO (226-01) that is mnc001, not mnc01.
