Unfortunately, the official list is often incomplete as national MNC authorities do not forward changes to the ITU in a timely manner. ITU-T also publishes complete lists: as of January 2019 list issued on 15 December 2018 was current, having all MCC/MNC before 15 December 2018. ITU-T updates an official list of mobile network codes in its Operational Bulletins which are published twice a month. Digicel uses the Jamaica MCC throughout the Caribbean). Some operators also choose to use an MCC outside the geographic area that it was assigned to (e.g. Mostly for historical reasons, one E.212 MCC may correspond to multiple ISO country codes (e.g., MCC 362 corresponds to BQ, CW, and SX). Country information, including ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes is provided for completeness. The following tables attempt to provide a complete list of mobile network operators.

Note that MVNOs without their own MCC/MNC (that is, they share the MCC/MNC of their host network) are not listed here. These are called mobile virtual network operators (MVNO) and are marked in the tables as such. Some network operators do not have their own radio access network at all. However, a TETRA network may be assigned an E.212 network code as well. TETRA networks use the mobile country code from ITU-T Recommendation E.212 together with a 10-bit binary mobile network code. For WiMAX networks, a globally unique Broadband Operator ID can be derived from the MCC/MNC tuple. Some but not all CDMA, iDEN, and satellite mobile networks are identified with an MCC/MNC tuple as well.

The mobile country code consists of three decimal digits and the mobile network code consists of two or three decimal digits (for example: MNC of 001 is not the same as MNC of 01). The ITU-T Recommendation E.212 defines mobile country codes (MCC) as well as mobile network codes (MNC).
