Azercell · Azerbaijan
Azercell is a mobile network operator in Azerbaijan, run by the legal entity Azercell Telecom LLC. The registry has no parent group on record for it. Its mobile network is carried by AS31721, registered to AZERCELL-AS Azercell Telecom Ltd and confirmed in a mobile role. Azercell uses MCC 400 with MNC 01.
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 Azercell
The registry records one ASN for Azercell, AS31721, and marks it as carrying the operator's mobile network. At the last probe that ASN was announced and originated 53 IPv4 prefixes and no IPv6 prefixes, so the routed space recorded here is IPv4 only. PeeringDB holds a network record for the same number under the name Azercell Telecom, with no network type set on it. The registry also lists 4G LTE for the operator, and 5G that Azercell presents in test mode rather than as a commercial service.
An address whose origin ASN is 31721 is routed by Azercell. The registry confirms the mobile role for that number, so traffic from it is most likely mobile, though the same ASN can also carry an operator's fixed and corporate connections, and the origin ASN alone does not settle how an address connects. Azercell has no second ASN in the registry that would separate one kind of use from another. No IPv6 prefixes are announced under this number, so an IPv6 address will not trace back to Azercell through this record.

What is Azercell's ASN?
The registry records one ASN for Azercell, AS31721, held by AZERCELL-AS Azercell Telecom Ltd and confirmed as the ASN that carries the operator's mobile network. RIPEstat shows the number announced, and PeeringDB carries a matching network record named Azercell Telecom.
What is the MCC/MNC of Azercell?
Azercell uses MCC 400, the mobile country code for Azerbaijan, with MNC 01. The registry holds this single pair for the operator, taken from the mobile network code table for ITU region 4xx, where the row is listed as operational.
Is an IP from AS31721 a mobile IP?
Not always. AS31721 is confirmed as the ASN carrying Azercell's mobile network, so much of what it originates is mobile, but an operator ASN can also route fixed and corporate connections. The origin ASN identifies the operator without proving the access type of one address.
