Vodafone · Italy
Vodafone is a mobile operator in Italy, now part of Swisscom through Fastweb S.p.A. and branded Fastweb + Vodafone. Its mobile network is carried by AS30722, which PeeringDB names Vodafone Italy; a second ASN, AS12663, is recorded with no documented role. Vodafone uses MCC 222 with MNC 10 and MNC 06.
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 Vodafone
Two ASNs are recorded for Vodafone in Italy, both registered to Fastweb S.p.A. after Vodafone Italia was merged into that company. AS30722 carries the mobile network and announced 284 IPv4 prefixes and 3 IPv6 prefixes at the last probe; PeeringDB records it as Vodafone Italy, a network service provider with regional scope and 10 to 20 Tbps of traffic. AS12663 announced 173 IPv4 prefixes and 2 IPv6 prefixes, has no PeeringDB record, and the registry documents no role for it.
An address whose origin ASN is AS30722 or AS12663 is routed by Vodafone in Italy. AS30722 is the one documented as mobile, backed by the RIPE holder name and a PeeringDB entry, so an address there has the stronger claim to being a mobile connection, though the same ASN also routes the company's other customers. AS12663 has no documented role, so an address inside it could be mobile, fixed or enterprise, and the ASN alone does not settle which.

Checking whether an IP belongs to Vodafone
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 Italy's ASN?
The registry records two confirmed ASNs, AS30722 and AS12663, both now registered to Fastweb S.p.A. AS30722 is the one documented as carrying the mobile network and appears in PeeringDB as Vodafone Italy. AS12663 is announced, but the registry documents no role for it.
What is the MCC/MNC of Vodafone Italy?
Vodafone in Italy uses MCC 222, the country code for Italy, with MNC 10 and MNC 06, written as 222-10 and 222-06. The registry treats 222-10 as the primary row, covering the GSM, LTE and 5G bands, and records 222-06 as a second operational row with unknown bands.
Is an IP from AS30722 a mobile IP?
Often, but the ASN alone does not confirm it. AS30722 is documented as carrying Vodafone's Italian mobile network and PeeringDB names it Vodafone Italy, yet the same ASN can route fixed and business traffic for Fastweb S.p.A. Read the origin ASN as an operator match rather than a device type.
