Unclassified APNIC
Summary
Africell Sierra Leone
mobile cellular sierra-leone telecom
Africell-Lintel is the autonomous system for Africell Sierra Leone Limited.
What it's used for
- The address space carries mobile network traffic for Sierra Leone, as indicated by the registrant name and the operator's identity as the country's leading mobile communications company.
- The AS announces 2048 IPv4 addresses across 5 prefixes, with only 3 observed routing neighbours. This high address-to-neighbour ratio is characteristic of an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- All five announced prefixes share the netname
ORG-ML3-AFRINICand are registered to Africell Sierra Leone Limited, which matches the AS holder. - Africell is a major mobile operator in Sierra Leone, having launched services in 2005 and operating in other West African and Central African countries.
- The inventory consists of one /22 block and four /24 blocks, all located in Sierra Leone, with no IPv6 prefixes announced.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
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: 431 networks and 1,775 prefixes, as published 2026-10-11. 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.
