Afghan mobile number prefixes: which network is it?
Quick answer
Afghan mobile numbers use the +93 country code followed by a two-digit network prefix. 70 and 71 belong to Afghan Wireless (AWCC); 72 and 79 to Roshan; 73 and 78 to Etisalat; 76 and 77 to ATOMA; and 74 and 75 to Salaam (Afghan Telecom). A full local number is 9 digits after the 0 (for example 0700 123 456).

How to read an Afghan number
An Afghan mobile number is written as 0 + a two-digit network prefix + seven more digits (for example 0700 123 456). From outside Afghanistan, replace the leading 0 with +93 — so 0700 123 456 becomes +93 700 123 456.
Do I need to know the network to top up?
No. When you recharge on TopUpAFG, the operator is detected automatically from the prefix — you just enter the number. This guide is only for identifying a network by hand.
