​The mobile number prefix 0944 or +63944 in the Philippines was originally assigned to Sun Cellular, which has since been integrated into Smart Communications. ​

However, with the implementation of the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) law, subscribers can switch networks while retaining their original numbers. This means a number starting with the 0944 prefix, initially assigned to Sun Cellular (now under Smart), could now belong to a different network if the user has ported their number.
