Zhsm inform the definition of the number by region. We determine the mobile operator by phone number

Why is it necessary simple user know which mobile operator subscriber called him? Can you find out yourself? Information about the telecom operator by the caller's phone number may be needed for many reasons, ranging from saving money for a mobile call, since for all voice calls within the same network, the cost of calls is significantly reduced, and ending with the function of setting the location of the subscriber.

The definition of the operator will help restore the truth, because it is likely that this is done by the paid services, and if you answer, a decent amount may be written off the balance.

Sometimes it is important to know how to identify an operator by a phone number, because very often subscribers can receive tempting offers for short unknown numbers. In such cases, they often promise a low cost of the service, but in fact, free cheese can only be in a mousetrap.

To be sure that not scammers and swindlers are calling you, but the service of your mobile operator, there are pages on the official websites of Beeline, MegaFon and MTS where a list of all short numbers is presented:

Information is available for Beeline subscribers.
MegaFon clients can get all the information.
MTS has created a support page.

Determine the affiliation to a particular operator

If earlier this or that operator had a set of a certain three-digit code by which it could be confidently identified, then recently, due to the transition of customers to another service provider without changing the usual digital number, it has become more difficult to do this.

To know exactly who is trying to call you, you can use special service from the Tele2 company, or the same function is available from Beeline, if you open it.

For reference:

Digital codes 910-919, 980, 981, 982, 985, 987, 988 belong to MTS subscribers.
For MegaFon, the first three digits of the code will be from 920 to 937.
Beeline has numbers 903, 905, 906, 909, 960-968, 976.
TELE2 subscribers have been assigned codes 902, 904, 905, 950-953, 916.

But, as we have already mentioned, this is very conditional, for clarification, you should still use the services online, since some subscribers use the software service. And already in this case, with incoming call you can see on the screen of your device that you are calling, for example, a Beeline subscriber with the beginning of the number 909, but in fact it may already be a Tele2 client, since he made the transition by saving old number.

How scammers act, knowing only your phone number

Each subscriber of the mobile network has its own individual number, and it is not in the memory of the sim card, as many users naively believe. Only the subscriber's identifier is stored on the SIM card, it can be sent to your operator's network after registration.

What it is is a set of 15 numbers:

The first three are given to determine the code of belonging to a particular country (for Russia it is +7).
The next 2 digits will identify the cellular operator.
And then there are 10 digits of the sim card number of a certain subscriber (denoted by hackers as an IMSI number), and it is by it that each of the subscribers is identified, it is also used for carrying out a variety of financial transactions, for example, in a mobile bank.

The common 15-digit identifier and the personal one, which we just mentioned, are stored in a single local database called HLR (Home Location Register), this is not necessarily the only database, there can be several of them in the world at once.

Now the most interesting thing is that when the SIM card expires, or if it fails, the user must change it to a new one, but sometimes in the communication salon assign a number to a new one sim card exactly the same as it was on the old one is not possible. Why? And it has already been entered into the database in the name of another subscriber!

Knowing the data transfer mechanisms and the SIM card number, the scammers redirect the requests of the banking structure to their phone, gain access to your data and manipulate your account at their own discretion. Why all this conversation? Moreover, if your SIM card has lost its basic characteristics, it is better to get a new one and not restore the old number, because this data can be used by intruders.

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

How to check your phone number

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

Determine the region by number

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

Define operator

Identifying 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 hide function is not selected. The combination of numbers shows the operator. Check room mobile phone always easier, because companies offering cellular services, the registry is more open than that of stationary ones.

Mobile operators are required to register anyone who wants to purchase an individual numeric code by which he can be reached. Fake numbers purchased “on the subway” 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 swindlers improve their technologies every year, but the methods of catching them are not lagging behind. The general rule is not to give personal information to strangers, do not indicate it 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 fraudster.

Such an "investigation" is considered legal; there is no need to worry about violating someone's rights. Information about subscribers, registration, according to the laws Russian Federation recognized as publicly available, only first name, last name, patronymic are considered personal data - to obtain such data will require more than an online resource. Having in your hands 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 by viruses is excluded, malicious files, spy apps.

It is often necessary to find out the owner of a mobile phone. Situations are different: from selling something big and valuable on the Internet to going on a date.

Is it realistic 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, the Federal Law of November 2, 2013 No. 304-FZ "On Amendments to Article 44 Federal law"On Communication" and the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses ".

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 into it the subscriber's passport data.

The dealer must send the 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

Basic information should be entered into the contract: name, registration address, passport series and number, as well as when and by whom the document was issued. But if the SIM card was bought from the hands of the metro or at the train station, then, of course, the subscriber data will be fake. You yourself understand how prohibitions work.

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

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

So how do you pierce a cell phone?

1. Ask

Incredibly, 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 ready 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 by 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 easiest and completely legal way to learn a lot about the owner of a mobile number. People often leave this information in the public domain.

If the nickname is relatively rare or you find out something else, you can google further. Combinations "nick + city", "nick + surname", "nick + car brand", etc. will give additional information.

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

It often happens that they call from an unknown number and drop it. A call to such a 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 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 lower right corner), then enter the phone number and add the user. After that, in the list of contacts, you need to click on it and select the "Information" item.

5. Top up his account

Salon employees cellular communication when replenishing an account by phone number, they 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 owner's full name.

Usually sellers meet halfway without suspecting anything. Indeed, you want to replenish someone's account, which means that 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 are not breaking anything. You just ask)))

6. Use special services

New sites where you can punch your mobile number appear regularly. But is it worth believing?

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

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

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

The site owner claims that he uses different software technologies to make the collected information as accurate and voluminous as possible. Data is obtained from open sources(same search results), API of other sites, from people who collect and sell mobile bases. The users themselves also add information, not about themselves, of course.

UPD: after the article was published, we were contacted by a user whose number was shown on the main page of the resource. The user claims that the number and unflattering description were added to the database in revenge 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 others like it you yourself understand what.

Similar services are provided by the site nomer.me. Here they promise to break through not only the number and provide "full name, registration / registration address, date of birth, passport details 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 "(the author's spelling is preserved).

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

Nothing is technically impossible. Operators actually store subscriber data. The only question is whether OPSOS employees with the required level of access will be substituted for the sake of several hundred rubles.

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

But the reviews about the service are rather negative. "Scam" is the mildest definition of defrauded customers. Say, they promise a lot, they take money, there is no result. You can't go into the consumer rights society with such a thing.

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

7. Check by the base of numbers

Buy the entire database or get 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 an SMS to a paid number, you are simply banned (blocked, added to the black list).

8. Contact the operator

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

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, prosecutor's office, FSB, FSO

There is a relatively clear distribution of telephone numbers by region. This is done mobile operators and government communications services. Information about the regional division is not secret, therefore anyone can find it out. This can be done through open databases or using free automatic Internet resources.

Why determine the belonging of a phone number to a region

The reasons why such information might be needed are few. So, determining the phone number by region is needed for people who want:

find out the whereabouts of the person who called them;
calculate how profitable (from a financial point of view) a call to a specified number will be (whether roaming conditions will apply and, if so, which ones).

Determination of belonging by code

The operator is determined by the mobile phone number based on the first two digits. All that goes further is a region identifier (def) and an individual set of numbers. Major cellular companies codes:

MTS. +791 and +798.
Megaphone. +792 and +793.
Beeline. +796 and some +790, +795, +798.
TELE 2. +799, +795 and some +790.

When using this method, keep in mind that it is not always reliable, since it is possible to jump to another operator with an old set of numbers. In addition, different companies may have the same two-digit identifier (excluding the first seven), but use a limited range for the third digit. Operator qualifiers also differ depending on areas. More detailed information below.

Beeline by region

One of the leading cellular companies in the Russian Federation uses 24 codes. The current list is regularly updated on the official website of Beeline. Table with codes belonging to regions:

MTS

More than 170 million subscribers are served by the mobile operator MTS. They are identified by 25 codes. The distribution by region is as follows:

Megaphone

In total, the mobile operator Megafon uses 24 mobile code and serves over 130 million subscribers. This, combined with the convenient conditions for using the network, makes it one of the leading telecommunications companies. Distribution of codes by area:

TELE 2

Tele2 has more than 90 million identifiers, of which 13% are registered in Moscow and the Moscow region, and in other regions, 1-2% each. The company's network coverage covers almost all of Russia. A table with codes distributed by area:

Moscow

Internet resources for determining the belonging of a phone number to a region

Open databases provide free information on the regional affiliation of numbers, but some of them contain outdated information, so it is better to search using several resources at once. The most popular sites and applications that contain up-to-date data:

Pnone Wizard. Utility for smartphones or PDAs with a built-in database of telephone identifiers of the Russian Federation. Using the program is simple: you need to enter the numbers of interest and press the search button. The application will automatically find the information, then return the result - which scope the def belongs to.

Official site Federal agency communication. Go to home page, from the top menu, select Activity - Numbering Resource. Then scroll down and click on the Extract from the register of the Russian system and numbering plan. In the window that opens, fill in the columns Code, Number, Operator (only the second field is required), click Find.
Region-Operator. A site that performs a mobile search, identifying the region and operator. Contains up-to-date information and advanced data. For example, he writes that earlier the code belonged to the operator Megafon, but now it belongs to MTS (or TELE2).
GSM-Inform. Searches by the first five digits, but works more accurately if you enter the entire number. Defines the country, the mobile company, and the approximate place of registration def of the subscriber.
EduScan. If the identifier is unique, it finds the area by the first three digits. If multiple options are found, prompts you to enter more information. To go to the release form, go to the main page, scroll down and click Useful. Then select the Service for determining the region by mobile number. In addition, you can add a search engine as a bot to Telegram.

It is not recommended to use paid services(these are often scammers), as well as those resources that ask for all the numbers in full. In the latter case, there is a risk of getting into the spam mailing base, especially since all the numbers are not needed to determine the regional affiliation. Full version of the tables indicated above is present on the official websites of the companies Megafon, TELE2, MTS, Beeline. In addition, the region by cell phone number can be obtained from mobile consultants by calling or contacting the company's office.
