Mobile phone area codes in the Philippines are composed of three digits and always start with the number 9. These area codes do not necessarily indicate a geographic region, instead they represent the service provider. That’s why we’d rather call them mobile number prefixes. Originally, there were four prefixes used for mobile phones: 912 for Mobiline (CDMA), 915 for Islacom (GSM), 917 for Globe (GSM) and 973 for Express Telecom. Smart followed later, that’s why they got the prefix 918.

It was owned by Eastern Telecoms before it started operations, until it was acquired by PLDT. Similarly, Islacom was acquired by Globe, Mobiline was a PLDT subsidiary. As service grew rapidly throughout the 1990s and even until today, existing codes have been exhausted and new codes have been added to fulfill demand. [Source: Wikipedia, audie]
