Tele2 Lithuania · Lithuania
Tele2 Lithuania is the Lithuanian mobile operator of Sweden's Tele2 AB. The registry records no Lithuanian-registered ASN for it; AS1257, the Tele2 group's pan-European backbone, originates its Lithuanian mobile ranges and carries other Tele2 markets as well. Its mobile codes are MCC 246 and MNC 03.
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 Tele2 Lithuania
The registry records a single ASN for Tele2 Lithuania, AS1257, held by Tele2 Sverige AB under the SWIPNET name and described in RIPE as the Tele2 group's pan-European IP backbone. It announced 387 IPv4 prefixes and 38 IPv6 prefixes at the last probe. PeeringDB lists the network as TELE2 with tele2.com as its website. A search of the RIPE database returns no aut-num registered to Tele2 in Lithuania, so no country-specific ASN exists to record.
Lithuanian mobile ranges sit inside AS1257 as RIPE inetnums with netnames such as LT-TELE2-GPRS and LT-TELE2-LTE and the description Mobile Services Lithuania, among them 213.103.0.0/17 and 37.0.128.0/19. An address originated by AS1257 is routed by Tele2, but the ASN spans several national markets and both mobile and fixed traffic, so it does not by itself place an address in Lithuania or on a mobile network. The inetnum netname is what separates the Lithuanian mobile blocks from the rest.
Research note. None of the supplied ASN candidates (15419/44771 LRTC, 35135 Bank of Lithuania, 35500 Western Union, 58146/62282/201201 Delska) belong to Tele2 - all rejected as keyword matches on 'Lithuania'. Tele2 Lithuania has no Lithuanian-registered aut-num: RIPE DB fulltext search for 'Tele2 Lithuania' aut-num objects returns 0. Its mobile ranges are RIPE inetnums maintained by SWIPNET-LIR-MNT with netnames LT-TELE2-GPRS / LT-TELE2-LTE / LT-TELE2-MOBILE-FIXED and descr 'Mobile Services Lithuania' (e.g. 213.103.0.0/17, 37.0.128.0/19, 185.2.228.0/22, 213.100.190.0/23, 193.217.0.0/22), and RIPEstat prefix-overview shows every one originated by AS1257 (SWIPNET, Tele2 Sverige AB, RIPE descr 'TELE2 Group Pan-European IP Backbone'; PeeringDB name 'TELE2', website tele2.com). AS1257 is therefore the ASN carrying Tele2's Lithuanian consumer mobile traffic, shared with other Tele2 markets. Parent: tele2.com lists Lithuania as a Tele2 group market (site tele2.lt); Wikipedia states Tele2, UAB is owned by Swedish Tele2. Wikipedia MNC table lists 246-03 Tele2 / UAB Tele2 (Tele2 AB, Sweden), operational, LTE 700-2600 and 5G 700/3500. Generations: tele2.lt/rysio-zemelapis is a '4G ir 5G' coverage map. No Lithuania-specific ASN exists to report separately.
Checking whether an IP belongs to Tele2 Lithuania
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 Tele2 Lithuania's ASN?
Tele2 Lithuania has no ASN registered in Lithuania. AS1257, the SWIPNET backbone of Tele2 Sverige AB, originates its mobile prefixes, and the registry records that ASN as the one carrying Tele2's Lithuanian mobile traffic alongside other markets in the group.
Is an IP from AS1257 a Lithuanian mobile IP?
Not on the ASN alone. AS1257 is Tele2's pan-European backbone and announced 387 IPv4 prefixes at the last probe across several countries. The Lithuanian mobile blocks are the inetnums with netnames like LT-TELE2-LTE, so the range record, not the ASN, tells you where an address belongs.
What is the MCC/MNC of Tele2 Lithuania?
Tele2 Lithuania uses MCC 246 with MNC 03. The registry holds that one row for the operator and no other code pair, so 246-03 is the identifier its network presents in signalling and on its SIM records.
