Brasil Telecom GSM, operating in Brazil (South & Central America), was a prominent mobile network identified by its Mobile Country Code (MCC) 724 and Mobile Network Code (MNC) 16. This unique combination allowed mobile devices to connect to their network seamlessly. Formerly a significant player in the Brazilian telecommunications landscape, Brasil Telecom GSM provided essential mobile services to a vast customer base across the country, contributing to the growth of mobile connectivity within South America.
