Mobile phone Carrier Network Code and Country Code Abbreviations (CSC)

This page contains a list of CSC codes for different locations (and carriers) throughout the world.

CSC (Country Specific Code) is a firmware code that is unique to each country and carrier. It is used to customize the firmware of a Samsung Android device to a particular carrier or region. CSC codes contain information about the carrier, software features, and language preferences.

What is CSC code used for?

You can use the CSC code found in the lists on this page to decipher what carrier your phone is from. Go to your phone settings >> about >> software information. Scroll down and under the Service Provider Software Information check the last 3 letters to determine your carrier-specific CSC code. Use these 3 letters and search the list found on this page to determine what network carrier, country or region that your phone is from. Besides identifying the original carrier firmware you can decide which firmware you want to flash to your phone.

What is the meaning of CSC code for a phone?

CSC code for a phone stands for Country Specific Product Code or Country Specific Product Region Code. CSC-specific phones contain a list of network connection settings and if branded may contain some brand carrier-supplied apps (also known as bloatware). The CSC specifications are found in the phone database and are used to identify country-specific or region-specific firmware. Particularly for Android phones where regions or countries may have specific ROMs or firmware based on the carrier, network provider, or region and country. Apple iPhone reports such as the GSX report or iPhone carrier report may also abbreviate the carrier name and this list will help you decipher it.

Where do I find the CSC code for my Android or Samsung phone?

To find the CSC version on most Android and Samsung phones: Open your Samsung phone’s settings app >> about >> software information. Scroll down and under the Service Provider Software Information section, check the last 3 letters of the string of letters and numbers to determine your carrier-specific CSC code. Refer to the image below. In the IMAGE below XAA is the CSC code, and this code represents the carrier: USA Unbranded Model/ No specific Carrier.

Why do you need to know the Country Specific Product Code abbreviation for cell phones?

The CSC code can help you determine what carrier your phone is from. You may want to know what the CSC abbreviation represents on your phone because you used an online IMEI carrier checker service and found that they provided abbreviations in place of the original carrier name or network name in the report. You can use this list to figure out which carrier the phone was sold to. Also, when rooting your android phone or installing a custom ROM, you may want to install a carrier-specific ROM. These ROMs can be found online and sorted according to CSC carrier-specific codes or abbreviations representing the carrier ROM. This list will help you to figure out what country or what carrier your phone is from based on the carrier reports information provided. This list can assist you in deciphering iPhone carrier reports that may shorten the carrier name.

What kind of phone does this CSC codes apply to?

The CSC codes can be useful to know for Samsung phones, but may also be useful for iPhones, LG phones, Motorola phones, Huawei phones, Google Pixel phones, ZTE phones, and all other Android phones.

What are the Advantages of changing the CSC on the phone?

Changing your phone’s CSC to an unbranded version allows you to remove the carrier-specific connection settings and remove the carrier-branded APPS from your device (bloatware). For Samsung phones typically CSC can be changed using ODIN software and requires your Android device to be rooted first. The process involves installing a new ROM or software. Typically users change their firmware to a country-specific Unbranded or Unlocked firmware or Combination Firmware or ROM for troubleshooting or repair purposes.
