Due to the conflict of scripts, the service form in order to find out the region by mobile number, crawled to the bottom of the page to the left. A little inconvenient, but the location of the number and the operator are determined perfectly.

How to find out who owns a phone number

A cardinal measure to find out who owns the phone number is to contact the police. But such an appeal can only be when the caller breaks the law. Civil servants have a complete database of all SIM cards, so it will not be difficult to calculate the name of a mobile pursuer. You can only get the data of the person from whom the calls were received only in the courtroom.

A free way to find out who called the phone number is to ask your friends if they have a similar combination of numbers and the name and surname of the caller in their notebook. You can often find out that an old friend or former classmate is trying to contact you, so it's okay if you pick up the phone, or you can just blacklist him.

How to find out who owns a mobile phone number

Many advanced users for the question "who called me?" turn to the Internet. This free method, from which operator the call was made, is becoming more and more popular.

Many scammers take advantage of the naivety of Internet users and create fake databases that require you to send SMS.

Remember that only state bodies have databases, and information whose phone number is not given out in them upon request from individuals. Find out who called from the number, it will turn out for good reasons after the proceedings. How to find out who called the phone number for money? You can also contact private agencies, but they own only a part of the databases, so there is a great chance not to get the coveted full name of the subscriber.

How to find out where they called from by phone number

It is easy to find out the countries and regions from which the missed call came in - there are really a lot of such bases on the Internet and 90% of them are genuine. First, the service provides the first three digits, and then the region where the numbers are more often found in such a combination. MTS, Megafon, Beeline are the largest mobile operators. In order to have enough combinations for everyone, there was no confusion, the first three digits (9 **) were distributed depending on the regions.

How to find out who called the phone number, but you did not have time to pick up the cell phone on time? If you received a call from another city, then these may be scammers, advertising companies, or simply inattentive people. If the owner is trying to hide the identifier using the "anonymous" function, then the detailing that can be ordered at your operator's office will help to calculate the treasured numbers, if time permits.

Another good one is to turn off your cell phone. If the subscriber dials again, and you have the “Who called?” option enabled, then you will receive an SMS notification from whom the call was received, and there it remains to call back or calculate the approximate location of the owner. The "anonymous" function has not been very popular lately, but it has a place to be, so you can figure out where the phone number was called from, even hidden.

If you receive calls from unknown numbers on your phone, then it is better to clarify from which operator from which country subscribers are trying to contact you. This is especially important if you want to call a stranger back. There are several ways to help you recognize the operator by phone number.

How to find out the country and operator by phone number

The standard capabilities of smartphones allow you to find out from which region the call came through without additional programs. However, this option does not work for all numbers and not every smartphone supports it. Therefore, you can use other options:

1. Search online by phone number. This option is good because for it you do not need to determine the code yourself - just enter the phone number in a special window and you will receive complete information about it.
2. Manual search. In stationery stores, diaries are sold in which the first or last pages are given over to reference information. With their help, you can determine from which country you were disturbed by a call. To use this method, you must correctly determine the code - these are the first 1-3 digits, excluding the "+" sign.

Of course, it is best to use the online method. When searching online, you do not need to independently select a code from a set of numbers. This service is absolutely free for you. The search form allows you to identify the carrier and find out other details about the number.

Phone apps to identify operator by number

Well, if the search form is not enough for you, then for smartphones, they work on different operating systems, a lot of applications have been created to help determine the numbers and the region where the call comes from. Not so long ago, Yandex created its own identifier that allows you to find out the organization from which the call came. But the functionality of this program is limited - if the company uses a third-party phone number, for example, the mobile of one of the managers, then you will not know who wants to contact you.

A good application can be called the Russian Operators utility. It allows you to determine when incoming and outgoing calls, which operator serves your interlocutor. The disadvantage of the program is that you will not be able to determine the country of the call. Databases are limited to our country.

call dispatcher

More successful in terms of the amount of reference information is the Call Dispatcher application. His databases have collected information about Ukrainian, Belarusian and Abkhaz license plates. The functionality of the application allows you to:

• determine the country of the interlocutor for an incoming or outgoing call;
• displaying information about the telecom operator, country and city during a call from a mobile or fixed number;
• placement of information about the subscriber in pop-up messages during a call;
• the ability to change the display time of messages;
• field for manual search in the directory;
• an extensive database of numbers in Russia and neighboring countries;
• identification of numbers written in international and local format;
• integration with any Android shells;
• work with different versions of operating systems, including obsolete ones;
• correct work with third-party applications.

After installing this program, it is necessary to create the Call Dispatcher folder in the directory of the memory card, otherwise the databases will not be loaded. Only after creating the folder you need to start downloading the databases. If you do not download them, the utility will not work. Another small problem when using this software product is that not all operators and numbers are entered into the bases. But this nuisance rarely affects users, as the databases are regularly updated.

Other ways to identify a telecom operator

If you are sure that the call came to you from Russia (the number starts with the code +7), then it is enough to determine the telecom operator and the region where the SIM card is used. To do this, you can use different methods.

Manual information search

The most difficult way to determine the telecom operator is to use the code book. Each phone number, except for the country code, encrypts the operator's identifier in itself. In Russia, numbers in the range from 900 to 999 are used as it. To date, domestic operators have used 79 codes from this range, 21 more are in reserve.

Most of the identifiers were occupied by representatives of the "Big Three".

Table of operator codes MTS, Megafon and Beeline

As you can see, even in this table, different operators have the same codes. The situation is no better for regional companies, which in most cases use the identifiers of larger telecom operators. For this reason, manual search for information provides only general information, and with code 902 it is completely useless.

We receive information about the country and the operator from our operator

Telecom operators provide the most accurate information about their subscribers. Since December 2013, a law has been in force in Russia on the preservation of a number when a client moves to another cellular company. In connection with it, confusion appears if a person tries to independently determine the operator by code. But you don't have to do it yourself. Telecom operators have provided the ability to determine the ownership of a subscriber number.

1. Megafon was the first to launch this service. On his official website, he posted a form for checking the number, available to anyone. You need to enter the number without the country code - from 9.
2. MTS lagged behind its competitors - it launched a paid verification service, available only to its customers. To check the number, you need to send a USSD request of the form: *111*916*number# - after entering the combination, press the call key. The phone number is entered without the country code, starting from 9. The request will cost you about 3 rubles (the cost depends on the region).
3. Beeline offers two options for checking the ownership of a phone number: through the official website and USSD request. Through the site, everyone can find out about the ownership of the number, just enter the number, starting with the operator code. Next to the field for entering information, there is a window with the numbers of the verification captcha - it is read very simply. Enter the numbers you see in the field on the right. If you are a Beeline subscriber, then you can send a request like: *444*number#. Data must be entered starting from 9.
4. Tele 2 also took care of cellular users. He posted on his website a lot of useful services, including in order to determine whether a subscriber number belongs to a particular operator. This service is located in the section dedicated to the transfer of subscribers to another operator while maintaining the number.

The disadvantage of this method is that some operators have a paid service. Another disadvantage is that it is not easy to find the verification form on the official website. In most cases, it is "hidden" in one of the sections in the information for subscribers.

Using e-wallets

If you have an electronic wallet, then you can use it to determine if the number belongs to a specific telecom operator. To do this, select the item "Deposit money to a mobile account" in the list of payments, and then enter the number. After this action, the name or logo of the operator will appear on the page. It is not necessary to make a payment.

This service is not perfect and does not work on all e-wallets. Some payment services did not provide the ability to display the names of the company servicing the subscriber. Such a service works properly only for Qiwi users.

The easiest way to find out subscriber data

We have already mentioned the last method above - these are online services for obtaining complete information about the subscriber. You can find out not only the telecom operator, but also the region where the SIM card was purchased. This will allow you to quickly navigate important issues: is it worth calling back a stranger, how much will a minute of communication cost, is it possible to make a call using only the included package of minutes of your tariff.

Most carriers now offer unlimited on-net calls. For this reason, it is very important to find out which company the prospective interlocutor uses. If the subscriber belongs to your mobile operator and is in the same region with you, then most often you can call without fear.

The advantage of an online database is that it has a user-friendly interface. You just need to enter the number and click the "Find" button. After refreshing the page, you will get the result in the form of a detailed report. A small drawback is that the information in the database is updated a little later than that of the operator. But every day the information is entered more quickly.
