AS37251 TELKOMMOBILE
Unclassified AFRINIC
Summary
Telkom Mobile
mobile residential south-africa telkom
The AS handle TELKOMMOBILE is held by Telkom SA Ltd., the mobile division of South Africa's incumbent telecommunications provider.
What it's used for
- The address space carries mobile and broadband access traffic, evidenced by reverse DNS records pointing to
telkomadsl.co.za(e.g.,8ta-228-128-128.telkomadsl.co.za). - The AS announces 1024 IPv4 addresses across 3 prefixes with only 1 observed neighbour, a ratio that indicates an access or eyeball network rather than a transit provider.
Notable
- The RDAP registrants for all announced prefixes are listed as unknown, which does not contradict the registry holder identity of Telkom SA Ltd.
- The address inventory consists of three IPv4 blocks: 197.228.128.0/23, 165.143.109.0/24, and 165.143.110.0/24, with no IPv6 prefixes in the inventory.

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: 442 networks and 1,783 prefixes, as published 2026-10-20. 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.
