The article describes how to find out which region a particular mobile number code is assigned to.

Navigation

Among the Russian mobile communications such operators as Beeline, Megafon and MTS stand out brightly (Tele2 is also a popular company). The main number of subscribers belongs to these companies. Other operators operate in certain cities and regions of Russia, having a significantly smaller number of customers.

Each operator has its own numbers linked to certain regions of the Russian Federation. To find out which region the number belongs to, you need to go to the Internet and enter in one of the search resources (for example, "Yandex") "determine the region by mobile number". Next, we will explain what are the distinguishing features of a mobile phone number.

Video: Determine the operator by mobile and region

The three main mobile companies in the Russian Federation are MTS, Megafon and Beeline. The rest of the mobile operators in Russia are not so popular, and even such giants as TELE2, Rostelecom and Iota are not up to the leaders. The coverage of large mobile companies covers the entire territory of the Russian Federation. Phone numbers are used to identify subscribers, and mobile operator prefixes are used to identify the provider. One company, especially if it is large, can own several indices. For example, the list for MTS covers a wide range of numbers.

What is a cell phone number

A ten-digit identifier consisting of a provider code and a unique set of numbers is the mobile phone number. In the international format, there is also a country index (for Russia +7). Def codes (operator identifiers) consist of three digits; numbering starts with nine. These are non-geographic telephone indexes, thanks to which it is possible to determine the subscriber's communications service provider, but firms no longer have a monopoly on them. You can go, for example, from MTS to Megafon while maintaining the previous set of numbers.

The transition service is still available to a small number of people, and it is still possible to find out where the unknown person is calling from. For the same reason, the number codes of mobile operators in Russia remain in demand data. Def are not classified as classified information and are kept in open databases. They encode not only information about the provider, but also about the region in which the number is registered (within the range of regions, and not a specific city or region).

Cellular operator codes

The Federal Communications Agency (Rossvyaz) distributes the codes of cellular operators in Russia. A table with a list of identifiers def is posted on the official website of the institution and is regularly updated. It is available for download to any Internet user. For the convenience of searching, you can drive the code into special form on the website and quickly find information about the respective network provider and region.

Cellular companies of Russia

The leaders of the list are Megafon, MTS and Beeline. In addition to them, there are other companies in the TOP. The most popular mobile operators in Russia:

• Megaphone. Leading company covering all regions of the Russian Federation, as well as the republics of Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Tajikistan. Megafon's subscriber base has over 75 million active numbers. It is the leader in the provision of mobile internet.
• MTS. Belongs to the list of leading providers. Provides high quality voice communication services, cable TV, Internet access. Has its own retail network.
• Beeline. Brand, company-owned VimpelCom, which is part of the concern serving over 235 million subscribers. The company provides a wide range of tariffs and quality coverage.
• TELE 2. The work of this group of companies is highly appreciated by users. It serves over 38.9 million subscribers.
• Iota. Gained popularity as an innovative company providing mobile voice and high-speed 4G internet services.
• Rostelecom. The leader in the provision of cable TV and broadband Internet access. Feedback on the quality of the services provided is positive, but many customers scold the work of technical support.
• MTT. Large cellular provider. Serves 2 million subscribers.

Codes of mobile operators in Russia

Total for this moment 57 identifiers are involved. The structure of the def-code is as follows: 9, then one of the digits in the range from 0 to 9. This is how 9 two-digit indices are formed, of which each has a third number, also from 0 to 9. A summary table of all occupied digits (distribution of cell phone numbers operators of Russia by regions below):

• 90: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9;
• 91: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9;

What region does the mobile phone number belong to?

There are several ways to determine which region the desired set of numbers belongs to. They all boil down to one goal: to access the def code database. To do this, use one of the following instructions:

• Go to the official website of the Federal Communications Agency. Open Activity in the top menu, select Numbering Resource. Scroll down the page to click on the "Extract from the register of the Russian system and numbering plan". A convenient form for entering known information will appear.
• Use online search resources. GSM-info, EduScan, IsPreview are considered good.
• Install a special application with a built-in database on your smartphone (for example, Phone Wizard). Such software quickly searches for phone numbers of mobile operators in Russia by region.

If you receive calls from unfamiliar 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 find the operator by phone number.

How to find out the country and operator by phone number

The standard features of smartphones allow without additional programs find out from which region the call came to you. 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 you do not need to define the code yourself - just enter the phone number in a special window and you will receive full information about it.
2. Manual search. In stationery stores, diaries are sold in which the first or last pages given under the reference information. With their help, you can determine from which country you were disturbed by the call. To use this method, you must correctly identify the code - these are the first 1-3 digits, without taking into account the "+" sign.

Of course it is best to use online way... 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 operator 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 ah, a lot of applications have been created to help determine the numbers and the region from which the call is coming. 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 is the "Operators of Russia" utility. It allows you to determine when incoming and outgoing call which operator is serving 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 the borders of our country.

Call Dispatcher

More successful in terms of the amount of reference information is Call application Dispatcher. Its databases collected information about Ukrainian, Belarusian and Abkhazian numbers. The functionality of the application allows you to:

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

After installing this program, it is necessary to create a Call Dispatcher folder in the memory card directory, otherwise the databases will not be loaded. Only after creating the folder should you 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 in the databases. But this nuisance rarely affects users, since the databases are regularly updated.

Other ways to identify your carrier

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. This can be used in different ways.

Searching for information manually

The most difficult way to identify a telecom operator is to use a codebook. Each phone number, except for the country code, encrypts the operator's identifier. 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, another 21 are in reserve.

The largest number of identifiers was taken by the representatives of the “big three”.

Table of codes of operators MTS, Megafon and Beeline

As you can see even in this table different operators the same codes belong. The situation is no better for regional companies, which in most cases use identifiers more than large operators communication. For this reason, manual search for information gives only general information, and with the 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, Russia has a law on preserving the number when a client moves to another cellular company... In connection with it, confusion appears if a person tries to determine the operator on his own by the code. But you don't have to act yourself. Telecom operators have provided the ability to determine the ownership of a subscriber number.

1. Megaphone launched this service first. 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 ownership phone number: via the official website and USSD request. Anyone can find out about the belonging of the number through the site, it is enough to 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 very easy to read. Enter the numbers you see in the field to the right. If you are a Beeline subscriber, you can send a request like: * 444 * number #. Data must be entered starting with 9.
4. Tele 2 also took care of cellular users. He posted on his website many useful services, including in order to determine the affiliation of a subscriber number to a specific operator. This service is located in the section devoted to the transition of subscribers to another operator with the preservation of 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 a verification form on the official website. In most cases, it is "hidden" in one of the sections with information for subscribers.

Using e-wallets

If you have an electronic wallet, then you can use it to determine whether the number belongs to a specific telecom operator. To do this, select the "Deposit money to mobile account" item 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. Payment is optional.

This service is imperfect and does not work on all e-wallets. Some payment services did not provide for the ability to display the name of the company serving the subscriber. This service works properly only for Qiwi users.

The easiest way to find out the 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 of purchase of the sim card. 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 operators now offer unlimited calls within the network. 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 convenient user interface... You just need to enter the number and click the "Find" button. After refreshing the page, you will receive 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, information is entered more quickly.

How to identify a mobile operator by phone number

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

You can use one of the following options to find out the region from where they called by number, sent SMS.

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 ... At three large Russian mobile operators (MTS, Megafon, Beeline), you will definitely find out by the first three digits at the beginning of the phone number. More codes are allocated to each of the Big Three operators than to the rest Russian operators put together. The following codes are allocated for operators of the Big Three:

• Beeline: 903, 905, 906, 909, 960-968;
• Megaphone: 920-928, 930-938, some 929 and 997;
• MTS: 910-919, 980-989.

3 ... On the Internet, you can also find special programs to determine the operators and the region in which the person is located, by the phone number. For example, in programs such as DEF or Pnone Wizard, you will find the number of any subscriber, no matter which operator it belongs to and you can identify the operator by the cell phone number.

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

Free of charge Identify by the cell phone number of the cellular operator and the region of the Russian Federation

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

And this is the situation. You need to put in, top up the balance of a cell phone, mobile operator numbers, but you don't know where to turn. In WebMoney or in other services, for example, in, you need to specify the mobile operator in order to replenish the phone balance.

Or here's another example. You look at Avito, a good car is sold and inexpensively and the phone is written "Stavropol". Upon verification, the telephone number of the city of Kurgan appears. It is immediately clear that you don't call "razvodilovo". Since there 100% of the conversation is like this: "Put 1000 rubles on the phone, so that we would be sure and hold the car."

The presented service will help you quickly determine whether a phone number belongs to the operator and the 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 even hundreds of rubles can help save money. Indeed, if an unknown person called a cell phone, he immediately opened a page in his cell phone with an input form in order to identify the cellular operator and the region of the Russian Federation by the cell phone number.

It is clear that who owns the number only the police know and the mobile operator. This is indeed confidential information... For disclosure to jail!

The final data at the time of updating the database is data from TsNIIS. Those. at the time of publication - June 1 this year - the number can be transferred to MTS. Today is June 30th and the situation could change. Therefore, for the ported numbers, information from the base from Rossvyaz is given.
