Yettel Bulgaria · Bulgaria
Yettel Bulgaria is a Bulgarian mobile operator wholly owned by e& PPF Telecom Group. Yettel Bulgaria EAD holds no ASN of its own; the registry records two ASNs, AS29244 and AS50020, registered to the infrastructure company CETIN Bulgaria EAD, neither with a documented mobile role. Its MCC/MNC is 284-05.
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.
| ASN | Holder (RIPEstat) | Role | Announced | IPv4 / IPv6 prefixes | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AS29244 | TelenorBG-AS CETIN Bulgaria EAD PeeringDB: CETIN Bulgaria AS29244 · NSP | Role not documented confirmed | yes | 19 / 1 | source · RIPEstat · PeeringDB |
| AS50020 | RACCOM-AS CETIN Bulgaria EAD PeeringDB: CETIN Bulgaria AS50020 | Role not documented confirmed | yes | 3 / 0 | source · RIPEstat · PeeringDB |
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 Yettel Bulgaria
No ASN is registered to Yettel Bulgaria EAD itself. The two the registry records both belong to CETIN Bulgaria EAD, the separated infrastructure company: AS29244, whose as-name is TelenorBG-AS, announced 19 IPv4 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix at the last probe, and AS50020, whose as-name is RACCOM-AS, announced 3 IPv4 prefixes and no IPv6. PeeringDB carries both, as CETIN Bulgaria AS29244, typed NSP, and CETIN Bulgaria AS50020, which has no network type recorded. The regulator approved e&'s acquisition of Yettel Bulgaria together with CETIN Bulgaria.
An address whose origin ASN is AS29244 or AS50020 is routed by CETIN Bulgaria, the network company behind Yettel. Neither ASN has a documented role, so an address in either could be mobile, fixed or enterprise, and the origin ASN by itself does not establish that a connection came from a handset. Yettel Bulgaria runs 5G. Because the operator holds no ASN under its own name, a lookup on a Yettel address returns CETIN Bulgaria rather than the retail brand, which is worth expecting when reading holder names.
Research note. Yettel Bulgaria EAD itself (RIPE org ORG-CBME1-RIPE) holds no aut-num object (inverse org->aut-num search returns nothing). The network is registered to the separated infrastructure company CETIN Bulgaria EAD (ORG-CBE2-RIPE): AS29244 (as-name TelenorBG-AS, PeeringDB 'CETIN Bulgaria AS29244', NSP, website cetinbg.bg, 20 announced prefixes incl. 149.62.192.0/18 'BG-CETIN-20110725') and AS50020 (RACCOM-AS). Developing Telecoms reports the Bulgarian regulator approved e&'s acquisition of Yettel Bulgaria together with CETIN Bulgaria. No fetched source explicitly states AS29244 carries Yettel's consumer mobile traffic, so role is 'unknown'; it is the only plausible candidate in the list (former Telenor Bulgaria ASN). All other candidates rejected as unrelated (A1, Vivacom, banks, etc.). MCC/MNC: none supplied; 284-05 (Yettel, former Globul/Telenor) from the Wikipedia MNC table, corroborated by mcc-mnc-lookup.com. Generations: yettel.bg/bg/nashata-mrezha/5g confirms 5G in all subscription plans. Yettel's 4G/4.5G FAQ pages (surfaced in search) returned 404 on fetch, so 4G LTE is not listed although the Wikipedia MNC table shows LTE 1800/2100. Parent: eandppftelecom.eu states e& PPF Telecom Group's share in Yettel Bulgaria EAD is 100%; e& PPF Telecom Group is itself majority-owned by e& (50%+1) with PPF Group holding the rest.
Checking whether an IP belongs to Yettel Bulgaria
Look up the origin ASN of the address and compare it with the table above. RIPEstat answers for any address, and the RADB whois mirror lists the routes registered under an ASN.

What is Yettel Bulgaria's ASN?
Yettel Bulgaria EAD holds no ASN of its own. The registry records two confirmed ASNs under CETIN Bulgaria EAD, the separated infrastructure company: AS29244, the former Telenor Bulgaria ASN, and AS50020. Neither is documented as the one carrying Yettel's consumer mobile traffic.
What is the MCC/MNC of Yettel Bulgaria?
Yettel Bulgaria uses MCC 284, the country code for Bulgaria, with MNC 05, written together as 284-05. That is the only MCC/MNC pair the registry records for the operator, and a handset attached to this network reports it.
Is an IP from AS29244 a mobile IP?
The registry does not confirm that. AS29244 is registered to CETIN Bulgaria EAD, the infrastructure company behind Yettel, and had 19 IPv4 prefixes and 1 IPv6 prefix at the last probe, but its role is undocumented. The address could be mobile, fixed or enterprise.
