How to determine a person's location by phone number? This question is asked not only by jealous wives.

Modern technologies, in principle, make it possible to track a person using his personal cell phone.

To do this, you can use only two search options. Each of them has its positive and negative sides.

It is worth talking in more detail about each of them.

In contact with

Mobile operator services

The essence of this option is to take advantage of the available services that allow you to track the location of a mobile device through one of the largest Russian cellular operators:

  1. Megaphone.
  2. Beeline.
  3. Tele 2.

Typically, such measures are resorted to in emergency cases, when a person has disappeared or it is necessary to track where a child is currently located. A service called “Locator” is available to MTS subscribers.

To use it, you need to dial a message indicating the subscriber's number of interest and send it to number 6777. Within a few minutes you will receive a response in the form of SMS.

It is worth noting that this service can only be used in cases where the personal account balance is more than 0 and the SIM card is not blocked.

It is important to know: You should not believe sites and various advertisements that any spyware can help calculate a person’s location without his knowledge, these are all scammers.

For subscribers of the Beeline network, it is also possible through the operator to find out the location of a person by phone number. This service is called “Bilan-Coordinates”.

To use it, you need to send an SMS message containing the number of the required person to number 4770. After this, the subscriber will receive a request for permission to transfer his location. After confirming it, a response with its coordinates will be sent to your phone.

Megafon has the opportunity to select several tariff plans for such purposes. If you have one of them installed, you can find the person you are interested in.

The first is a “Beacon”, which allows you to determine where the child is currently located, and the second is intended to determine the location of elderly parents. In addition, there are also additional services that already require permission from specific individuals to transmit their geolocation data. There is also a special section on the operator’s website.

The online version of the site is very convenient and allows you to clearly see where the wanted subscriber is currently located. You can also make a request from Megafon using the command *148* and the number of the desired subscriber in international format (+7 operator code and number).

After this, the operator receives it and transfers it to the subscriber they are looking for. If he approves the request, the sender receives an SMS indicating the person’s location. Obtaining geodata will cost 5 rubles. But if the subscriber is unavailable, the system, alas, will not be able to make a request using his number.

The Tele2 company has a similar service called “Geosearch”. To activate it, you need to make a request *199*01#. Now, to start tracking a subscriber, you need to dial the combination *199*1* (mobile phone number in international format)#.

But it is worth considering that the error in the information provided will be up to a quarter of a kilometer. The service cannot be used when the wanted subscriber is not online.

Mobile applications with GPS

As for tracking a person using the GPS in the phone, there are certain difficulties.

It’s one thing when it comes to tracking the location of your device in case of its loss, but others when it is necessary to find another person, especially without his consent (which is illegal). In order to know the location of the device, and at the same time its owner, you need to install certain applications on the phone.

The Internet has a huge number of programs for smartphones that allow you to receive geolocation data remotely. The most popular option among them for Android smartphones is GPS Tracking Pro.

Its main disadvantage, for those who want to secretly track a person’s movements, is the inability to install it covertly, since permission from the owner of the device is required. But for covert installation they usually use GPS Tracker Hidden.

There are a few more things to consider here:

  1. To receive a person's geolocation data via satellite, you must manually install this application.
  2. Spying on a person without his permission is a criminal offense.

Due to the ability to attach all Apple devices to one account, you can track the movements of all family members who have this equipment from one place. To find the location of your iPhone, you need to install the Find my iPhone application, which only works with iOS devices.

You can select the format of the received data - SMS or MMS message. The SMS receives text information with coordinates, and the MMS contains a fragment of a map with a mark of the subscriber’s location.

The coordinate accuracy can be: about 1 km. To determine your location more accurately, use the Tracker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.megalabs.trkr

Sometimes, when we are worried about a loved one, we need to know their location. We worry about our children and elderly relatives, and the employer wants to know where his employee is. Thanks to the availability of a cell phone, this is not difficult to do today.

Today everyone can determine where the owner of a cell phone is. Most operators offer an option - geolocation. It allows you to track the location of a subscriber up to several meters. There is no need for such services as GPS or GLONASS.

But, tracking a person by phone number can only occur if his device is within the coverage area of ​​the cellular network. If he is located where the cellular operator does not work or his phone is turned off, then only special services can track him.

The service offered by this service is paid. At the time of writing, a month of using the service cost 400 rubles. A small amount for obtaining data about loved ones.

What is geolocation: how to find a person online by phone number?

Geolocation is the exact geographical location of an object. When using cellular communications, the subscriber's phone must periodically communicate with the base station. This is a feature of this communication technology. Therefore, its geolocation and even route can be easily tracked by analyzing such phone calls to the nearest stations.

At the same time, there is no need to activate the function of connecting the device with satellites. These modules may not be in the phone at all. But, thanks to cell towers, the subscriber can still be “calculated” and tracked.

Geolocation

As for the accuracy of such data, it depends on the type of cellular connection. In a city where the density of cellular stations is higher, the location of a subscriber can be determined down to the house number. Where cell towers are installed less frequently, the error in determining geolocation can reach several kilometers.

Video “How to determine location by phone number”

What do you need to find a person by phone number for free and without much difficulty? In fact, there are no easy ways, since information about the ownership of numbers is protected by operators and is not subject to disclosure. That is, you cannot call the operator and find out who owns this or that number. But we can still make some attempts. We can also determine the location of some subscribers using geolocation services. In this review you will learn:

  • How to find a person by phone number and find out his first and last name;
  • How to find a person's location;
  • How to legally obtain information about the owner of the number.

The review will also touch on some other issues related to searching for subscriber data.

How to find a person by phone number

It would be nice to have a service at hand in which you could find a person by phone number - enter the number, and after a few seconds the service shows the subscriber’s last name and first name, as well as his residential address. Unfortunately, the existence of such services is illegal, since distribution of subscriber databases and personal data is punishable by law– you can get a significant prison sentence for this.

How can we find a person knowing his phone number? For this we have completely open sources:

  • Social networks and communities;
  • Notice boards;
  • Forums and discussion platforms.

In order to “get through” information on a phone number, try entering it in the search form of one of the search engines. If a person often leaves his traces on the Internet, you can quickly get a lot of information about him - region of residence, first name, last name, and in some cases, address. We often leave such data on social networks., on message boards and on many other resources. This method allows you to find out the affiliation of telephone numbers to certain companies engaged in mass or targeted telephone calls. Enter the number into a search engine, and if it really belongs to one of the companies, you can quickly find out all its data.

It will not be possible to find a person by phone number through the help services of mobile operators - they do not provide such information, protecting the personal data of each subscriber. Only law enforcement agencies will be able to obtain complete information about a particular subscriber.

If you are being harassed by calls and telephone threats, file a police report. They will find out the identity of the phone number and take measures to suppress telephone hooliganism.

Should you trust databases distributed on the Internet that can be used to find a person by mobile phone number? Such databases do exist, but they are most often quite outdated. Often, scammers provide those in need with decoy databases that contain anything but phone numbers. Remember that it is impossible to obtain current and complete information about subscribers through such databases.
