Summary
MTN Zambia
mobile residential zambia telecom
MTNZ-AS is operated by MTN Zambia, the leading mobile network operator in Zambia.
What it's used for
- The address space carries mobile and data services, evidenced by the reverse DNS record
mtn-zm-213-193-037-254.mtnbulksms.co.zmand the registrant netnameORG-MTN2-AFRINIC. - The AS announces 13312 IPv4 addresses across 5 prefixes while maintaining only 6 observed neighbours, a ratio characteristic of an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- All five announced prefixes are registered to MTN Zambia under the netname
ORG-MTN2-AFRINIC, showing full alignment between the registrants and the AS announcer. - MTN Group acquired 100% of Telecel Zambia in August 2005, successfully relaunching the network as MTN Zambia.
- The inventory consists of five IPv4 prefixes with no IPv6 prefixes announced, reflecting a purely IPv4-based address estate.

Classification and threat
Hosting Datacenter or cloud provider. Addresses are servers, not people.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 432 networks and 1,768 prefixes, as published 2026-10-12. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
