How to determine a cellular operator by phone number

Sometimes we get calls from unknown numbers. Therefore, it is often necessary to determine the mobile operator that owns the cell phone number. This may also be required in other cases. There are several options for solving this problem.

You can use one of the following options to Find out the region from which the number was called or SMS was sent.

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’s number is registered.

2 . With three major Russian mobile operators (MTS, Megafon, Beeline), you can tell for sure by the first three digits at the beginning of the phone number. Each of the Big Three operators is allocated more codes than all other Russian operators combined. The following codes are 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 identifying 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 determine the telecom operator by cell phone number.

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

Free Determination by cell phone number of a cellular operator and region of the Russian Federation

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

And this is the situation. You need to top up your cell phone balance or mobile operator number, but you don’t know where to turn. In WebMoney or in other services, for example, in, you need to specify a cellular operator in order to top up your phone balance.

Or here's another example. You look at Avito, they sell a good car and inexpensively, and the phone number says “Stavropol”. When checking, it turns out to be the phone number of the city of Kurgan. It’s immediately clear that it’s a scam and you’re not calling. Because the conversation there is 100% 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 the operator and region of Russia.

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

It is clear that only the police and the mobile operator know who the number belongs to. This is confidential information. Go to jail for disclosing!
