Kenya mobile prefixes: FAQ

How can I tell which network a Kenya number is on?

Look at the first digits after the trunk prefix and compare them with the table on this page, or paste the number into the network finder. For example, Kenya numbers starting with 011 were assigned to Safaricom.

Which mobile networks are there in Kenya?

Number ranges in Kenya are assigned to Safaricom, Airtel, Telkom, Finserve, Homeland Media and others.

Is the prefix always correct for the current network?

No. Kenya numbers can usually be ported to another operator while keeping the number, so the prefix tells you which network the number range was originally assigned to. A carrier lookup through the numlookupapi API returns the carrier the number data points to.

What is the country code of Kenya?

The country code of Kenya is +254. See the Kenya country code page for dialing instructions and number formats.
