Philippine Telecom Area Codes

I recently bought  a simcard for a different telecom company for my growing needs. As I was preparing to copy the numbers of people under that second brand into my secondary phone, I realized that with all the new area code extensions gobbled up by the telcos, I wasn't really sure which one belonged to which. I mean, in the olden days it was pretty straightforward. You had 917 for Globe and 918 for Smart. Now that things have gotten a bit more complicated, it would be difficult to classify without some sort of a list.

So, I set out to look for a definitive listing on the web with which I could base my "moving of the numbers" which would supposedly save me more money on prepaid load by calling the  person using the appropriate network.

This is what I found on Wikipedia which I want to share with everyone (in case you ran into a problem similar to mine):

  • Express Telecom: 973, 974 (now in use)
  • Globe Telecom: 905, 906, 915, 916, 917, 926, 927, 935, 936, 937
  • Next Mobile: 979
  • Red Mobile: 938 (Smart)
  • Smart Communications: 907, 908, 909, 910, 912, 918, 919, 920, 921, 928, 929, 930, 938, 939, 989, 999
  • Sun Cellular: 922, 923, 932, 933
Hope this helps! :D
