Which link the number belongs to. How to check any mobile phone. Quite legal. Determination of the operator by number in a special service

It's no secret that each subscriber has his own unique number, while the first 3 digits (+7 and 8 do not count) suggest differences depending on the operator cellular communication. Many tariff plans involve a higher fee 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.

Determination of the operator by number in a special service

There are several special services that allow you to quickly determine by the phone number not only the operator, but also the region in which the SIM card was registered. We have reviewed quite a few of these services and have identified the following as the most convenient:

A complete list of area codes can be found here: http://www.kodtelefona.ru/mobile_ru.

This is where we will end this article. Now you know how to identify the operator by phone number. We hope the above information was helpful to you.

Many owners of mobile gadgets are faced with a situation where a call comes from a contact that is not listed in the address book. Checking the phone number helps determine the region, mobile operator- even if the call was made in international format. For this, there are special sites, databases. If you know the addresses, punching the phone number becomes an easy task.

How to check a phone number

All subscribers are registered in unified system. Find out who owns the number cell phone possible with high accuracy - up to a specific region, city. Verification service services are provided online via the Internet, it is possible to find out not only the cellular, but also the city numeric code, of its subscriber. If you want to understand where a phone number was called from, specialized access may be required.

Determine region by number

All numerical combinations begin with a country code, continue with a city code - this applies equally to stationary, mobile combinations of numbers. The exception is IP telephony. With the help of legal services, it is allowed to check the phone by number, first determining the region. The first six digits will tell you where it is registered this subscriber, although the actual location may be different.

Define operator

Finding out who provides telephony services is even easier. Look at the display, find the first three digits after the seven - they appear for all unfamiliar numbers, if the hiding function is not selected. The combination of numbers shows the operator. Checking a mobile phone number is always easier, because companies offering cellular services have a more open registry than landlines.

Mobile operators are required to register anyone who wants to purchase an individual numerical code by which he can be reached. Bought "in the subway", fake numbers exist, but the use of such "tricks" is illegal, and all SIM-cards have their own owner, often a fake one. Cellular companies do not recommend purchasing cards outside of official offices.

Check phone for fraud

Mobile scammers are improving their technology every year, but the methods of catching them are not far behind. General rule- do not give personal information to strangers, do not indicate it in in social networks With open access, do not send money, secret passwords from credit cards, other personal data. Many operators and online resources provide a service - checking the phone by number, where you can find a "black list", up to the location of the scammer.

Such an “investigation” is considered legitimate, there is no need to worry about violating someone’s rights. Information about subscribers, registration, according to laws Russian Federation recognized as publicly available, only the first name, last name, patronymic are considered personal data - to obtain such data, more than an online resource will be required. Having on hand confirmation of where they called from, you can make a request to the authorities, up to the prosecutor's office.

How to find out where the number is registered

An unfamiliar call is not a cause for concern. Programs, verification services are available to anyone, both from a mobile device and via the Internet. The service is popular, but it is recommended to use only trusted resources that are guaranteed not to provide fake information. When using them, the risk of infection with viruses, malicious files, spyware is eliminated.

GSM Inform

A simple, convenient service that offers to find out the operator, region, city - if we are talking about a stationary device. The service is “light”, optimized for mobile traffic, you can use it, even if you have a limited tariff, there is no way to access desktop computer. Does not require registration, services are provided free of charge. The algorithm of actions is as follows:

Go on the website.
The function is located at the bottom left, penultimate menu item.
In the box, enter the number of the unknown subscriber from whom the call was received or an SMS message was received. Click "find information".
You will receive comprehensive information if the numerical set is registered in Russia, only the country will be determined by the foreign one.

Rossvyaz

The official portal offers access to the registry. Rossvyaz allows anyone who wants to receive detailed information about telephone numbers located on the territory of the Russian Federation. The proposed data has limitations - without special access it is impossible to find out personal information, find out the full name (last name, first name, patronymic) of the owner-subscriber. You can use the service like this:

Go to the Rossvyaz resource.
Enter the "Activity" subcategory.
Follow the link "Extract from the register of the Russian system and numbering plan"
Enter prefix, numeric set, operator.
Get open data.

Spravportal

Owners of gadgets under iOS and Android platforms, who are faced with regular unauthorized calls or SMS messages, will like this resource with a mobile application. The portal offers to download it on start page. To verify the phone number, you will need to do the following:

Open the application, the page "Identify the operator".
Enter a numeric code.
Get information by operator, region, country. Checking the phone number does not reveal the identity of the owner, but if you receive fraudulent messages, calls, you can contact law enforcement agencies with the received data.

Video

Finding out the owner of a mobile phone is often a must. The situations are different: from selling something large and valuable on the Internet to going on a date.

Is it possible to break through a mobile phone in Russia and how to do it? We understand the issue.

What does the law say about it?

On January 1, 2014, Federal Law No. 304-FZ dated November 2, 2013 “On Amendments to Article 44 of the Federal Law “On Communications” and the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation” came into force.

The law banned the street sale of SIM cards. Now the operator or the person who acts on his behalf (dealer) is obliged to conclude an agreement on the sale of the card and enter the subscriber's passport data into it.

The dealer must send a signed copy of the contract to the operator within 10 days. And the operator - to check the accuracy of the information.

What operators know about subscribers

The contract should contain basic information: full name, registration address, series and number of the passport, as well as when and by whom the document was issued. But if the SIM card is bought from the hands of the metro or at the station, then, of course, the subscriber data will be fake. You understand how restrictions work.

In addition, operators have data on calls made and SMS sent. They do not record calls (for now - we keep in mind the “Yarovaya package”), but the contents of the SMS are saved. They also have information about the dates and amounts of replenishment of the balance, the current balance on the account, the IMEI of the device.

Is location tracked? Yes, and not only when you call. Coordinates are recorded at the time of entry and exit from the network, movement between cells. Technically, the operator has the ability to manually request coordinates and record the entire track.

So how to break through mobile phone?

1. Ask

Incredible, but it works. Call the number, say that you are conducting a survey, ask a few simple questions. At the end, specify the name and surname.

If a person is willing to cooperate and has already answered the questions, he can automatically give the last name or first name. Especially if you promise a small bonus. For example, replenish your account for participating in a survey. And even transfer these 10-20 rubles (the amount should not be large so as not to arouse suspicion).

2. Google

The most simple and perfect legal way learn a lot about the owner of a mobile number. This information is often left in the public domain.

If the nickname is relatively rare, or you learned something else, you can google further. Combinations "nickname + city", "nickname + last name", "nickname + car brand", etc. will provide additional information.

Finally, if you found a photo of a person by number, it makes sense to use the FindFace service. It finds profiles of people on VKontakte by photo and links to them:

It often happens that they call from an unknown number and hang up. A call to this number may be charged. Victims often post numbers on the Internet, so it is useful to google the number before calling.

3. Check social networks

On Facebook, just a phone number is enough. In addition, you can go to the form for restoring access to the page and enter the number. The social network will offer to send a six-digit code to this number, and next to it will show the account (photo and full name) to which it is linked:

"VKontakte" allows you to enter a phone number to restore access to the page, but requires the surname to which the number is linked.

4. Get into Viber

The messenger allows you to find out the first name (and most often the last name) and get a photo of the user. Click the Add button (blue with a plus in the bottom right corner), then enter a phone number and add a user. After that, in the contact list, you need to click on it and select the "Information" item.

5. Top up his account

When replenishing an account by phone number, employees of mobile communication salons usually see the full name of its owner. Pretend that you want to check if the number is correct and ask the employee to give the name of the owner.

Usually sellers go forward without suspecting anything. Indeed, you want to replenish someone's account, which means you give the impression of an honest person.

And if the manager refuses to give his full name, you can go to another salon. Trying is not torture.

Again, you're not breaking anything. You just have to ask)))

6. Use special services

New sites where you can break through a mobile number appear regularly. But should they be trusted?

For example, here is one of the first in the search engine results - phonenumber.to. Reliability - as lucky.

I checked several of my friends' numbers with their permission, and some of them confirmed the accuracy of the information. True, there is frankly little data: the registration address and e-mail, sometimes also a photo. If the number was recently changed, the service issues the old data.

Garbage in the service is also enough. Look, for example, at the results of the latest queries that the service openly shines on home page.

The site owner claims to use different software technologies to collected information was as accurate and voluminous as possible. Data is obtained from open sources (the same search results), APIs of other sites, from people who collect and sell mobile databases. Users themselves add information, not about themselves, of course.

UPD: after the publication of the article, we were contacted by a user whose number was shown on the main page of the resource. The user claims that the number and the unflattering description were added to the database in retaliation by an employee of the company with which he refused to work.

Conclusions: 1. This can happen to anyone. 2. The level of trust in phonenumber.to and the like, you yourself understand what.

Similar services are provided by the nomer.me website. Here they promise to break through not only the number and provide “full name, address of registration / registration, date of birth, passport data of the owner, tariff, balance, date of opening (connection) of the number, history of the owners of the phone number, as well as who was the owner of the phone number in a given period time or get full list former owners” (author’s spelling retained).

The developers claim that they receive information from employees of cellular companies, and not from offline databases, so the relevance is higher. They can also name other phones that belong to the owner of the specified number.

Naturally, a full prepayment is taken for everything, which is already alarming.

Technically, nothing is impossible. Operators do store subscriber data. The only question is whether the employees of the OPPS, who have the required level of access, will be substituted for the sake of several hundred rubles.

Each employee signs a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). Violation is fraught with dismissal and institution of criminal proceedings.

But reviews about the service are rather negative. " Scam"- the mildest of the definitions of deceived customers. Say, they promise a lot, they take money, there is no result. You can't get into the consumer rights society with this.

Actually, it is easy to check such services. Order to break through information about your own phone number, and you will immediately understand everything.

7. Check in the database of numbers

Buy the entire database or access through the web interface - a method similar to the previous one. Even if the data is provided to you, there is a high risk that it will be outdated.

But most often after transferring money or sending SMS to paid number you are simply banned (blocked, blacklisted).

8. Contact the operator

If you or your loved ones are threatened, you can contact your mobile operator directly and state the reasons for contacting in a statement. Employees must review it and provide or not provide you with information about the subscriber.

But, of course, this does not work if you just need to find out information about the person you are hiring, want to buy something from him or go on a date. Practice shows that operators usually refuse and require an official request to be made through law enforcement agencies.

9. Go to the police, the prosecutor's office, the FSB, the FSO

It's no secret that MTS, Beeline, Megafon, Tele2, MOTIV and other cellular companies in Russia set different prices depending on which operator's number the call is made to. The region where the subscriber calls also affects the billing. And if earlier it was possible to determine the operator by the first three digits, now the situation has become much more complicated.

On December 1, 2013, “mobile slavery” was officially abolished in Russia. Since that time, any subscriber has the opportunity to change one operator mobile communications to another while keeping your old number.

The Mobile Technology Software development team has released a service for checking the operator and region by phone number. It determines the operator, region and locality (only for city numbers) by phone number.

How it works?

id="sub0">

First, the service checks for the presence of the specified number in the Rossvyaz database (this body is responsible for issuing phone numbers different operators in Russia). Next, the program accesses the database of ported numbers from TsNIIS (responsible for maintaining the database with data on porting numbers from operator to operator without changing the number). Thus, the received information is updated automatically.
