Moldcell · Moldova
Moldcell is a mobile network operator in Moldova and part of CG Corp Global. The registry records one autonomous system, AS43925 (MOLDCELL_AS MOLDCELL S.A.), confirmed as the carrier of its mobile network. Moldcell's network code is MCC 259 with MNC 02, and the registry lists 4G LTE and 5G service.
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 Moldcell
The registry holds a single ASN for Moldcell, AS43925, and its role is documented as mobile. At the last probe that ASN was announcing 94 IPv4 prefixes against 3 IPv6 prefixes, so the operator's public addressing is still almost entirely IPv4. RIPE route objects registered under AS43925 describe ranges as Moldcell-GPRS and Moldcell-3G, and an inetnum covering 178.76.96.0/19 carries the netname MOLDCELL-3G. PeeringDB has no record for AS43925.
For anyone classifying traffic, an address whose origin ASN is AS43925 is routed by Moldcell, and the registry documents that ASN as the one carrying the mobile network, with route and inetnum descriptions pointing at GPRS and 3G packet-core ranges. Not every address inside that space belongs to a handset, though, because Moldcell announces one ASN for the whole company and corporate and infrastructure addressing sits alongside the mobile ranges. The IPv6 count is small, so most Moldcell traffic still arrives over IPv4.

Checking whether an IP belongs to Moldcell
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 Moldcell's ASN?
The registry records one autonomous system for Moldcell, AS43925, registered to MOLDCELL S.A. and documented as the ASN carrying its mobile network. At the last probe AS43925 was announcing 94 IPv4 prefixes and 3 IPv6 prefixes.
What is the MCC/MNC of Moldcell?
Moldcell uses MCC 259, the country code for Moldova, with MNC 02. Written together that is 25902. The registry holds this one network code pair for Moldcell and records no additional MNCs for the operator.
Is an IP from AS43925 a mobile IP?
AS43925 is the ASN the registry documents as carrying Moldcell's mobile network, and route objects under it describe GPRS and 3G ranges. An address originated there is routed by Moldcell, but the ASN alone does not prove the address sits behind a handset rather than company infrastructure.
