The assignment of mobile phone numbers can vary, due to number portability.

Mobile phone codes

In ascending numeric order:

Mobile Providers with own Networks

Provider		Code
Hutchison Drei		660 and 699
A1 Telekom Austria		664
T-Mobile		676

Mobile Providers without own Networks

Provider	Network	Code
Telering^1	T-Mobile	650
BoB^2	A1	680
yesss!^2	A1	681 and 6998
Eety^2	Hutchison Drei	665
Tele2	A1	688

• ¹ Telering was bought by T-Mobile in 2005. As of 2006, Telering uses the network-infrastructure of T-Mobile. As a special requirement of the European commission, many of the former transmitters and frequencies previously operated by Telering were given to Orange and Drei.
• ² BoB is a discount service of A1. yesss! was a discount service of Orange, now sold to A1. Eety is a discount service of Orange (now 3).

Due to number portability, the code is not a safe way to evaluate the provider of a phone number. The providers assign only in exceptional cases (special sort of custom numbers, more expensive) non-existing numbers with a different prefix, and this is handled similar as porting an existing number from the desired network. However, the providers still have the administrative sovereignty over their own prefix.
