How to identify a mobile operator by phone number

Sometimes we get calls from unknown numbers. Therefore, it is often necessary to determine the mobile operator to which the cell phone number belongs. It may also be required in other cases. To do this, there are several options for solving this problem.

You can use one of the following options to find out the region from where you called the number, sent SMS.

1 . You can determine the operator by phone number by, where not only the mobile operator is determined by the phone number, but also the region in which the subscriber number is registered.

2 . With three major Russian mobile operators (MTS, Megafon, Beeline), you will definitely know by the first three digits at the beginning of the phone number. Each of the Big Three operators has been allocated more codes than all other Russian operators combined. The following codes have been allocated for the Big Three operators:

Beeline: 903, 905, 906, 909, 960-968;
Megafon: 920-928, 930-938, some 929 and 997;
MTS: 910-919, 980-989.

3 . On the Internet, you can also find special programs for determining operators and the region in which a person is located by phone number. For example, in programs such as DEF or Pnone Wizard you will find the number of any subscriber, no matter what operator it belongs to and you can identify the carrier by cell phone number.

4 . You can also check the phone you need on the Internet using the databases of mobile operators. It will indicate the most accurate and complete range in which the numbers of this operator in this region are located. This is especially useful for operators that use common DEF codes. For example, Tele2 in the GSM network uses the common codes 904,908,950,951,952. And the Sky link in the CDMA network is code 901.

Free of charge Determine by the cell phone number of the mobile operator and the region of the Russian Federation

Probably everyone had such a situation when you need to call some phone, but at first glance it is almost impossible to determine which region this number is assigned to, especially if it is mobile. This means that it is not clear whether this call will be billed as a local or long-distance call.

And here is such a situation. You need to put, replenish the balance of a cell phone, mobile operator numbers, but you don’t know where to turn. In WebMoney or in other services, for example, in, you need to specify a mobile operator in order to replenish the phone balance.

Or here's another example. You look at Avito, they sell a good car and inexpensively, and they write "Stavropol" on the phone. When checking, the phone of the city of Kurgan turns out to be. It is immediately clear that you do not call "razvodilovo". Since there is a 100% conversation like this: "Put 1000 rubles on the phone, so that we can be sure and keep the car."

The presented service will help you quickly determine whether a phone number belongs to an operator and a region of Russia.

The design is optimized to work through the browser of a mobile phone. One request for information consumes less than 1 kilobyte (costs less than 1 kopeck), and dozens, and maybe hundreds of rubles, can help save money. Indeed, if an unknown person called on a cell phone, he immediately opened a page in his mobile phone with an input form in order to determine the mobile operator and the region of the Russian Federation by the cell phone number.

It is clear that only the police know who owns the number, and the mobile operator also knows. This is confidential information. For disclosure to prison!

It's no secret that each subscriber has his own unique number, while the first 3 digits (+7 and 8 are not taken into account) suggest differences depending on the mobile operator. Many tariff plans offer higher fees for making calls to numbers of other providers, as a result of which many subscribers are interested in how to identify the operator by phone number. In fact, for this you need to know which code belongs to which operator.

It would seem that everything is extremely simple, it is enough just once to get acquainted with the list of these same codes. Of course, if you have an ideal memory, then this will not cause any problems in your case, but most people already store a lot of different information in their heads. It would be one thing if each operator had only one unique code, but each provider has several such codes, which causes confusion in the minds of even the most attentive subscribers.

So how do you identify an operator by number? In fact, there are only two options - use special services or learn a table prepared by the editors of the site. Which option is more convenient for you to decide only for yourself, but we will list the services we have verified to determine the operator by phone number, and also give a list of codes of the most common operators in Russia.

Each person at least once had a situation when you need to find out where the call came from or where this or that cell number is registered. Sometimes information is needed to navigate the cost of communication if it becomes necessary to call an unfamiliar subscriber. In some cases, such knowledge saves from communicating with scammers.

Question, how to determine the operator by phone number is not so difficult as it might seem at first glance. Especially if you know what information this set of numbers contains.

What does def mean - code or prefix?

You need to understand that identifying a mobile operator, as they say, at first glance, is unlikely to succeed. After all, the designations will vary, depending on the region. Therefore, first of all, it is worth figuring out what each digit of the number means, and what information can be obtained from it.

Let's start with the first digits of the number, which mean the country code. In the case of Russia, this is +7 or 8 if the call came from a mobile phone. The only difference between these figures is that the first option allows you to communicate both within the country and using roaming. After dialing the "eight" it will be possible to call only within the Russian Federation.

The next three digits are the def code (prefix) of the operator, which defines belonging to the provider company. There are only four large companies on the Russian market: Bee Line, Megafon, Tele 2 and MTS. Prefixes are always unique, their value indicates the region in which the SIM card was purchased. Based on these data, the address of the subject can be determined.

To determine the operator who owns the cell number, you can use the appropriate search programs, such as Spravportal.

Recently, it has become possible to change the operator, while retaining your old mobile phone number. This caused some confusion, but there are services that can easily handle this. Popular free systems: "Kody.su" or "TeleHouse" determine whether there has been a change of operator.

Instructions on how to determine the operator by cell phone number looks like this. On the corresponding page of the site, a combination of numbers is entered in the box.

Input order:

code of the country,
city code (operator),
personal number.

After a few seconds, the system issues a response. Based on the analysis of the information received, the service determines:

location country,
the region where the subscriber is registered,
which carrier the number belongs to.

Of course, you won’t be able to find out the city from which they called you, you will have to be content with the name of the region or region. The remaining seven digits are the subscriber's personal number. However, in our case, they do not carry any valuable information. It is impossible to find out the data of a person from them, since they are protected by law.

How to find out the operator by city number

If the failed interlocutor called from a fixed city number, it is also quite simple to figure out where the call came from. The first digits indicate the country, for Russia, as we have already found out, this is “+7” or “8”, but there can be two or even three characters. For example, Ukraine is the encoding "+38". Next come 2-5 digits, which mean the code of the locality within the country.

The last part is the number assigned to a specific address at a given telephone exchange. It can have from five to seven digits, it depends on the size of the settlement. Using them, it is not difficult to find out not only the city from which the call was received, but even the address of the subscriber's residence. For example, if the Nizhny Novgorod number looks like +7831 4XX-XX-XX, then the phone is located in the Central District of the city. More detailed information can be found in the online telephone directory of the phones09.info service. But this advice is relevant if it is a direct number, when calling from which call forwarding is not used.

Any cellular operator tries to keep up with the times. One of the services that appeared not so long ago was the provision of landline numbers to subscribers. Undoubtedly, they are in demand. Such a number looks solid, but it is immediately impossible to understand that the phone is not located in the office. Communication is carried out by the operator through a single federal mobile number, which acts as a switch. Using the phonenum.info service, such numbers are determined easily and simply. For recognition, the database of Rossvyaz RF is used. You can find out the region, city and name of the mobile operator.

How to find out where the call came from without the Internet?

Using network services is the easiest way to find out where the call came from. But what about those who do not have access to the Internet? Do not forget that the cellular operator records all incoming and outgoing calls, and as a result, they are reflected in the details of calls. And this means that you can find out where you were called from by directly calling the customer support service using a single short number.

"Beeline" 0611,
"Tele" 2 611,
"MTS" 0890,
"Megafon" 0500.

However, it is not at all necessary to look for unnecessary information on how to contact the Beeline operator or any other cellular company. In addition, waiting for a response from a specialist may be delayed, since such services are usually very busy. To get a short version of the details of calls to the phone, it is enough to know the short command. For each operator, it is different and usually looks like "*XXX#".

As you can see, in the structure of any phone number, everything you need to find out the necessary information is encrypted. However, it is not always possible to establish for certain where they tried to contact you from. After all, using a SIM card of a Russian operator, a subscriber can call from any part of the world. Therefore, it is simply impossible to foresee everything.
