Which network is my number? Ghana mobile prefixes
Buying data for a number only works if the bundle matches the network the number is actually on. This is the prefix list our own number checker uses — the same one that warns you before you pay.

Valid prefixes we accept on an order: 020, 023, 024, 025, 026, 027, 028, 050, 053, 054, 055, 056, 057, 059.
Two honest warnings
1. Some ranges overlap. 026 is claimed by both MTN and AirtelTigo; 027 is claimed by both MTN and AirtelTigo. When a prefix is shared we cannot tell you which network the line is on, so we only warn on a prefix that unambiguously belongs to a different network.
2. Numbers can be ported. Ghana allows mobile number portability, so a number can move network and keep its prefix. The only way to be certain is to ask the person who owns the line, or check on the phone itself.
Why this matters: wrong-number orders are not refundable — a bundle sent to a line on a different network will not deliver, and the industry does not reverse it. That is why the checkout warns you when the prefix you typed does not match the network you picked. Check the line twice before you pay.
Once you know the network
Each network has its own price list and its own validity rules — MTN is non-expiry, Telecel and AirtelTigo are 60-day rollover.

Questions people ask before buying
Which network is 024?
024 is an MTN prefix in our checker, along with 025, 026, 027, 054, 055, 056, 057, 059. See MTN bundle prices.

Which network is 027?
027 falls in a range our checker lists for both AirtelTigo and MTN, so treat it as uncertain and confirm with whoever owns the line before buying. AirtelTigo prices are here.
Can a number change network and keep its prefix?
Yes — Ghana has mobile number portability. A prefix tells you where a number was issued, not necessarily where it lives today.
What happens if I buy data for the wrong network?
The bundle will not deliver to a line on another network, and wrong-number orders are not refundable. Our checkout warns you when the prefix you type belongs unambiguously to a different network.
