Network Description

Southern LINC, operating in the United States of America and serving areas within North America & the Caribbean, is a unique mobile network known for its robust push-to-talk (PTT) capabilities and focus on reliable communications for businesses and government entities. Distinguished by its Mobile Country Code (MCC) of 312 and Mobile Network Code (MNC) of 720, Southern LINC stands apart from major national carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile.  Its specialized network infrastructure, often compared to other regional carriers prioritizing specific industry needs, is tailored for critical communications where immediate, direct connection is paramount.

While many consumers associate cellular service with broad coverage and entertainment, Southern LINC carved a niche by offering a specialized communications solution, particularly in the southeastern United States. This focused approach allowed them to build a reputation for reliability and clear voice communications, especially valuable in sectors like construction, utilities, and public safety.  Although not as ubiquitous as the nationwide providers, Southern LINC's specialized offering fills a critical communication gap, particularly due to its historical focus on technology such as iDEN and then subsequent adaptations to other technologies.  Discussions around the network often compare its PTT functionality to offerings from companies like Nextel (prior to its acquisition by Sprint) demonstrating similar specialised approaches to the American mobile market.
