About Bitel

Viettel Peru S.A.C., operating under the commercial name Bitel, is a prominent mobile network operator in Peru. As part of the larger Vietnamese-based Viettel Group, Bitel has significantly impacted the Peruvian telecommunications landscape since its launch. It holds the Mobile Country Code (MCC) of 716, identifying Peru, and the Mobile Network Code (MNC) of 15. This unique identifier is crucial for mobile devices to connect to Bitel's network. Bitel is one of several major players in Peru's competitive mobile market, striving to offer comprehensive coverage and a range of services to rival established operators. Bitel distinguishes itself through strategic investments in network infrastructure, with a particular focus on expanding 4G LTE coverage to rural areas that were previously underserved. This commitment has helped bridge the digital divide and brought mobile internet access to more Peruvians. Compared to competitors like Claro and Movistar, Bitel often emphasizes affordable data plans and promotions to attract budget-conscious customers. While Peru boasts diverse geography, Bitel’s expansion efforts aim to bring reliable mobile connectivity across the country, contributing to Peru's economic growth and social development in the increasingly connected South & Central American region.
