During unavailability cellular network Your mobile phone may receive calls from unknown subscribers. Don't worry about missing an important call, because there is an option to find out mobile operator by phone number. The data obtained will help you avoid spending money on communication with another region or allow you to ignore the next call from a stranger.

Is it possible to determine an operator by phone number?

The Russian Federation has few providers mobile communications and each has individual combinations of numbers. How to find out a mobile operator by phone number? Easily. If the number starts with +7, then a caller from Russia called you. There is a different number at the beginning of the combination, which means this is a call from another country or region. Knowing the codes of different countries, you can easily check where the calls are coming from.

In addition to this code, the next 3 digits in the mobile indicate the affiliation of a specific communication company. The number depends on the place where SIM cards are sold: it is allowed to buy a SIM card with a certain prefix in a specific region. The provider prefix is ​​unique for each region; based on it, the subject's address is searched. Def codes after the country code serve as an indicator for determining user affiliation. They are unique, always stable and fixed.

How to find which operator a cell phone number belongs to

There are many free sites where you can easily and easily find out which telecom operator it is by phone number. Their operating principle is to enter data in a special column and press start. Next, the system will analyze the entered combination of numbers and provide information. Some services only request the first 5 digits to reliably identify the owner's details. A cell phone number can be identified by a mobile operator in a matter of seconds, and the service itself shows the identity of the code.

Last year, a service was introduced to save data when switching to service from another provider. For example, a Beeline subscriber could become a Tele 2 user, while leaving the Beeline prefix. Therefore, the search system may not work imperfectly, because it is difficult to check whether a person has switched from one telecom operator to another. The companies themselves may not keep records of conversions, especially since such data is not saved in search engines. Checking through such applications may be ineffective.

Codes and prefixes of the largest mobile operators in Russia

Our country has only 4 large companies providing mobile communication services. You can find out the numbers of Russian mobile operators by looking at the three-digit code, which is individual when issuing a SIM card to each company. Therefore, the ability to provide information about whose subscriber it is takes a little time. System information is checked in a split second, but the reliability of the result depends on whether the provider was changed. If there was no change, then the data has not changed, so it can be used as reliable.

Megaphone

The following series are typical for Megafon: 920-932, 933, 938. The combinations of numbers are different for individual regions, for example, in Moscow it is 925, and in the Kirov region 922. In addition, Megafon provides the 929 and 997 series. The mobile operator divides the phone series with MTS and Beeline. The catalog of codes is placed inside the analyzing systems and is then used during checks.

Mobile TeleSystems (MTS)

The following series are typical for MTS: 910-919, 980-983, 988. These numbers help you find out where you can purchase a SIM card. For Moscow, 910 is used, and for Siberia, 913, 983. MTS has a peculiarity in the distribution of prefixes between cities, for example, after the code, the typical Moscow numbers are from 0 to 4, and St. Petersburg from 0 to 2 or from 7 to 9. The remaining numbers belong to others regions and cities.

Beeline

For Beeline, after the international code, the following series are characteristic: 903, 905-906, 909, 960-965, 967. Here the codes are tied to the subjects of the country; when checked, the system will display the name of the company with the region. For Moscow, the 903 series is typical, and for the Far East, 964. For Beeline, the gradation differs only in the Far East. All prefixes can be used within the state, and the Far Eastern District is assigned a unique combination of numbers. The district received this advantage due to the size of its territory, population, and the popularity of mobile communications.

Tele 2

The youngest provider, but already having its own code base. Tele 2 is characterized by the following prefixes: 900, 902, 904, 908, 950-953. It has its own characteristics - there is no provider in some regions of the country, so the coincidence of the prefixes with the data shows that the service is provided by a local company operating in the territory of one region or region. The same people will help you find out information. free services, which will clearly demonstrate where the call was made from, will mark this place on the map.

How to find out the region by phone number

Any mobile system has its own combinations of numbers, which depend on the region in which the person bought the SIM card. This means that each combination of codes is unique within a specific subject of the Russian Federation. Services that determine the user's affiliation have this data, so they provide information about the region or region from which the subscriber called. You can find out the operator by phone number from the official websites of mobile communication companies.

A popular service for checking the subject of the country and the mobile subscriber is GSM-inform. To define a user, you need to enter the first 5 digits of the phone. Using the Spravportal program, you can clearly see on a map where the call came from. Both services operate free of charge.

Mobile communications are an integral part of life - in 70% of cases, people make calls using a cellular device rather than a landline one. That is why it is important to know how to identify an operator by phone number so that using the device or tariff becomes as comfortable as possible for the subscriber.

In some cases, it is necessary to determine the operator by the mobile phone number from which the call came. This is important because:
