With the rate at which the mobile market is
currently, you would agree with me that the
confusion to know which mobile network owns
a particular prefix in a phone number would
really grow.
You tend to see a whole lot of phone numbers
ranging from the 0803, 0813,0811 and more
confusing combinations that could burst your
brains.
This little guide would let you know which
network owns any of the numbers, and this list
covers all mobile operators in Nigeria ranging
from MTN down to Etisalat. Use the tabular
information below to understand the networks
and their phone numbers.

and they cover a whole lot of number prefixes.

Yeah! And this is the complete list for all
networks numbers in Nigeria.
NB:- due the mobile number portability
introduced in 2013 in Nigeria, a person can also
port their numbers from any of the said
providers to another, so the list does not
guarantee that all numbers using the above
prefixes must be fixated to same networks as
listed.
