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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AS24835 | Vodafone Data - Vodafone Data PeeringDB: Vodafone Egypt · NSP | Mobile network confirmed | yes | 1,986 / 18 | source · RIPEstat · PeeringDB |
| AS36935 | Vodafone Data - Vodafone Data | Mobile network confirmed | yes | 1,298 / 8 | source · RIPEstat |

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 Vodafone Egypt
The registry holds three autonomous systems here. AS24835 and AS36935 both carry the holder name Vodafone Data and are documented in a mobile role, though no source states which of the two carries subscriber traffic. At the last probe AS24835 announced 1,986 IPv4 prefixes and 18 IPv6 prefixes, AS36935 announced 1,298 IPv4 and 8 IPv6, and the enterprise ASN AS328794 announced 3 IPv4 prefixes. PeeringDB lists AS24835 as Vodafone Egypt and classifies it as an NSP.
An address whose origin ASN is AS24835 or AS36935 is routed by Vodafone Egypt, and both are documented in a mobile role, so cellular traffic is a plausible reading of either. The split between them is not documented, so neither number on its own identifies the subscriber network. AS328794 belongs to Vodafone International Services and is recorded as enterprise, so an address from it is more likely corporate than cellular. In every case the origin ASN names the routing operator, not the access technology.
Research note. AS24835 (as-name RAYA-AS, descr 'Vodafone Data - Egypt') is the PeeringDB-registered Vodafone Egypt network (website web.vodafone.com.eg, 2,006 prefixes per bgp.he.net); AS36935 (as-name Vodafone-EG, descr 'Vodafone Egypt Telecommunication S.A.E', 1,312 prefixes, peers only via AS24835) shares org ORG-RT2-AFRINIC - which of the two carries mobile subscriber traffic is not stated by any source, both listed as mobile. AS30995 rejected: RIPE whois says CIBEG-AS / Commercial International Bank (Egypt), not Vodafone, despite asn.txt label. AS328794 is a separate Vodafone International Services entity (3 prefixes). PeeringDB has no record for AS36935. 4G: Vodafone Egypt homepage advertises '4G Readiness'; 5G launch 17 Jun 2025 per Wikipedia MNC table (operator 5G page not reachable). Ownership per Wikipedia (Vodacom 55% / Telecom Egypt 45%); ir.te.eg confirms Telecom Egypt's 45% stake. Remaining asn.txt candidates (banks, EUN, CEQUENS, Link Egypt, etc.) are unrelated companies.
Checking whether an IP belongs to Vodafone Egypt
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 Vodafone Egypt's ASN?
The registry records three: AS24835 and AS36935, both held under the name Vodafone Data and documented in a mobile role, and AS328794, held by Vodafone International Services and recorded as enterprise. PeeringDB has a record for AS24835 only, listing it as Vodafone Egypt.
What is the MCC/MNC of Vodafone Egypt?
Vodafone Egypt uses MCC 602 with MNC 02. MCC 602 is Egypt's mobile country code and MNC 02 identifies this network within it. The registry records no further MCC/MNC pair for the operator.
Is an IP from AS24835 a mobile IP?
AS24835 is documented in a mobile role, so a cellular origin is plausible. The registry cannot go further than that. AS36935 shares the same role, no source says how mobile subscriber traffic is divided between the two, and PeeringDB classifies AS24835 as a network service provider.
