What network is this prefix? Most of us are always asking this question right? We need to look it up.
So here is a list of mobile number prefixes here in the Philippines and the corresponding telecommunications company:
Why do Filipinos need to know the network for a certain prefix?
Most of us avail of unlimited text and call promos to save some money. But it only is free if you send text or call the same network. For example, you should only call or text Sun or Smart subscribers if your sim card is Sun or Smart. You get the idea.
That’s the reason why we need to look up which network a certain prefix belongs to. That is to avoid paying extra. Some of us even have 2 different sim cards with different networks as a workaround to paying the interconnection fees.
