About IDEA

North East IDEA, operating in India within the Asia & Middle East region, is identified by its Mobile Country Code (MCC) of 405 and Mobile Network Code (MNC) of 849. Assigned under the Indian telecom regulatory framework, this specific combination distinctly marks the network's operational footprint. While IDEA (now Vodafone Idea) has a national presence, the significance of this distinct North East IDEA identifier lies in its historical relevance and potentially differentiated service offerings in specific zones. Though now consolidated, insights into past regional strategies and service delivery models linked to this specific MCC/MNC pairing provides context to the evolution of mobile telecommunications across India’s diverse landscape. Understanding MCC 405 and MNC 849 sheds light on the intricacies of India's mobile network infrastructure. In comparison to other network operators such as Airtel and Jio who also possess their own unique MCC/MNC combinations, North East IDEA’s presence, although now part of Vodafone Idea, represents a piece of the telecom puzzle, reflecting network allocation strategies and, at one time it’s concentrated regional focus. Further exploration could uncover past infrastructure investments, rural connectivity solutions, and tailored packages specific to the unique needs of the North East region. This historical identification is important for legacy system configurations, roaming agreements, and possibly even regional statistics maintained within the industry.
