TM SIM prefixes

In the Philippines, mobile number prefixes are the initial four digits of an 11-digit mobile number, such as 0915-1234567. These prefixes help identify the mobile network to which a number belongs. For TM (Touch Mobile), a subsidiary of Globe Telecom, the following prefixes are commonly used:

• 0905
• 0906
• 0915
• 0916
• 0917
• 0926
• 0927
• 0935
• 0936
• 0937
• 0945
• 0953
• 0954
• 0955
• 0956
• 0965
• 0966
• 0967
• 0975
• 0976
• 0977
• 0978
• 0979
• 0994
• 0995
• 0996
• 0997

It's important to note that some prefixes are shared between TM and its parent company, Globe Telecom. For instance, prefixes like 0917 and 0927 can belong to either Globe or TM subscribers. This overlap is due to the integrated operations of both networks.

Understanding these prefixes is beneficial for determining the network of a contact, which can be useful for optimizing call and text rates, especially when network-specific promotions are available. However, with the implementation of mobile number portability in the Philippines, users can retain their numbers even when switching networks, making prefixes less reliable for identifying the current network of a number.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it's advisable to consult official resources or contact the service provider directly.
