0814, 0701, 0811, 0902… All Network Number Prefix In Nigeria

Know all network number prefixes in Nigeria from this post. We have included both old and newest number prefixes for MTN, Glo, Airtel, 9Mobile, Smile, Ntel, Starcomm, Zoom, MultiLinks, and Visafone.

Because of the boom in the telecom business in Nigeria, so many Telecommunication companies have emerged as well as so many different phone numbers that are becoming unpopular unlike 0803, 0809, 0805, 0808, and other easy-to-identify phone numbers.

Maybe, you received a call from a phone number and you are not familiar with the number so you are searching to identify which network owns that particular mobile phone number. Search no more because I have updated this post with the latest number prefix of all networks in Nigeria.

For instance, 0814 is an MTN number, 0701 is an Airtel number, 0811 is a Glo number, 0817 is Etisalat 9Mobile number; all other network number prefixes are provided here on this post so I suggest you bookmark this page for future reference.

Sometimes I don’t usually guess right even if I try to be smart. Seriously, it’s hard these days to differentiate or know the actual network people use to call you in Nigeria. There is quite a handful of phone number prefixes used by our Network providers nowadays.

There are currently numerous numbers available now that will be very difficult to guess or cram that is why it’s important to save posts like this because it could be handy next time a strange number calls you.

This post is correct and up to date as of March 2023 but I will be trying my best to update it regularly once there is a new number in Nigeria or a new network provider.
As you can see, MTN has the highest mobile numbers on their list and who knows, Glo may release more numbers in the future as the ones they have is already getting congested.
I hope this helps. If you found this post useful, please leave a comment below and share this post with friends.
