Djezzy · Algeria
Djezzy is a mobile operator in Algeria, owned by the Algerian state through the National Investment Fund and formerly held by VEON. Its mobile network is carried by AS327931, registered to Optimum Telecom Algeria, the legal entity behind the brand. The registry records the MCC/MNC pair 603-02 for Djezzy.
Autonomous systems
Holder names and prefix counts come from the RIPE NCC's RIPEstat Data API, fetched on 2026-09-06. Role and confidence come from the evidence linked in each row; "confirmed" means a PeeringDB or RIPEstat record, or the operator's own site, names the operator.
Mobile network codes
The MCC identifies the country and the MNC identifies the operator inside it. Together they appear in the IMSI of every SIM on the network and in device diagnostics; they are how a handset knows which network it is on.
About Djezzy
The registry records one ASN for Djezzy, AS327931, held by Optimum Telecom Algeria and documented as the operator's mobile network. At the last probe it was announced and carried 199 IPv4 prefixes against 100 IPv6 prefixes, so the IPv6 count runs at about half the IPv4 count. PeeringDB has a record for the same network under the name Optimum Telecom Algeria, with the network type field left empty. The registry lists 4G LTE and 5G among the generations the operator runs.
An address whose origin ASN is AS327931 is routed by Djezzy, and because the registry documents that ASN in a mobile role, traffic from it fits the operator's mobile network rather than a separate fixed arm. Only the one ASN is on record here, so there is no second Djezzy network to tell it apart from. Anyone classifying an Algerian address by origin ASN can match it against AS327931, and against the 603-02 MCC/MNC pair where signalling data is available.
Research note. Legal entity is Optimum Telecom Algérie Spa (MNC table). AS327931: RIPEstat holder 'Optimum Telecom Algeria', announced; PeeringDB has a record named 'Optimum Telecom Algeria' (other fields empty); bgp.tools classifies it as eyeball with prefixes named 'Djezzy Network' / 'Djezzy VSAT Network'. 4G launched 1 Oct 2016 (Wikipedia); 5G rolled out across 18 provinces, announced 1-2 Mar 2026 (APS, Telecompaper); the operator site lists a 'Modem 5G' offer (djezzy.dz/particuliers/offres/modem-5g) but the host refused connections during this research so the page text was not read. Ownership: Wikipedia says wholly owned by the Algerian state since VEON sold its 45.57% to the National Investment Fund in Aug 2022.

What is the MCC/MNC of Djezzy?
Djezzy uses MCC 603 with MNC 02, written 603-02. That is the only MCC/MNC row the registry holds for the operator, taken from the public mobile network code tables for ITU region 6 covering Africa.
Is an IP from AS327931 a mobile IP?
AS327931 is documented as Djezzy's mobile network, so an address originating there is routed by that operator's mobile side. The registry does not break the ASN down prefix by prefix, so an individual address inside it could still carry fixed or internal traffic.
