Osmocom
Overview
The Osmocom (Open Source Mobile Communications) project is an open-source initiative focused on developing software for mobile communications. The Osmocom TAC (Type Allocation Code) database is a public resource providing information about mobile phone models based on their TAC. The TAC represents the first eight digits of a phone's International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number, a unique identifier assigned to each mobile phone.
Example topics covered:
- TAC to brand mapping
- TAC to model mapping
- GSMArena brand and model links
Key Attributes

As with all Public Domain datasets, Cybersyn aims to release data on Snowflake Marketplace as soon as the underlying source releases new data. We check periodically for changes to the underlying source and, upon detecting a change, propagate the data to Snowflake Marketplace immediately. See our release process for more details.
Notes
When available, GSMArena links for the model and brand are included. GSMArena.com is a website dedicated to mobile phone reviews, news, specs, and comparisons.
