It is no secret that each subscriber has its own unique number, while the first 3 digits (+7 and 8 are not taken into account) suggest differences depending on the operator cellular communication. Many tariff plans imply higher fees for making calls to numbers of other providers, as a result of which many subscribers are interested in how to identify an operator by phone number. In fact, to do this you need to know which code belongs to which operator.

It would seem that everything is extremely simple, you just need to familiarize yourself with the list of these same codes once. Of course, if you have perfect 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 can you identify an operator by number? In fact, there are only two options - use special services or learn the table prepared by the editors of the site. Which option is more convenient for you is up to you to decide, but we will list the services we have tested for identifying an operator by phone number, and also provide a list of codes for the most common operators in Russia.

Determining an operator by number in a special service

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

  • http://www.spravportal.ru/services/phonecodes/MobilePhoneInfo.aspx;
  • http://www.kody.su/check-tel.

Both services are free and do not require registration. Just follow the links above and enter the phone number whose operator you want to determine in the appropriate field. After this, the information you are interested in will appear.

List of telephone codes of popular operators

The easiest way is to use one of the above services, but if you want to remember the codes of the most popular operators in Russia, then read the following information:

MTS (910, 911, 912, 913, 914, 915, 916, 917, 918, 919, 978, 980, 981, 982, 983, 984, 985, 986, 987, 988, 989).

Beeline (953, 960, 961, 962, 963, 964, 965, 966, 967, 968, 969, 908, 909, 951, 903, 902, 900, 905, 906, 904).

Megaphone (997, 999, 920, 921, 922, 923, 924, 925, 926, 927, 928, 929, 930, 931, 932, 933, 934, 936, 937, 938, 939).

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 an operator by phone number. We hope the above information was useful to you.

If you receive calls on your phone from unfamiliar numbers, then it is better to find out from which operator from which country the 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 out an 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 from, 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 you don’t need to define the code yourself - just enter the phone number in a special window and you will receive complete information about it.
  2. Manual search. Stationery stores sell diaries in which the first or last pages are given for 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's best to use online way. When searching online, you do not need to independently extract the code from a set of numbers. This service is absolutely free for you. The search form allows you to determine the telecom operator and find out other details about the number.

Phone applications to determine 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 region where the call is coming from. Not 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 a company uses a third-party phone number, for example, the mobile number of one of the managers, then you will not know who wants to contact you.

A good application is the “Russian Operators” utility. It allows you to determine for incoming and outgoing calls which operator is servicing 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 quantity reference information is a Call Dispatcher application. Its databases collected information about Ukrainian, Belarusian and Abkhazian license plates. The functionality of the application allows you to:

  • determine the country of the interlocutor when making an incoming or outgoing call;
  • displaying information about 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 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 shell;
  • work with different versions of operating systems, including outdated ones;
  • correct work with third-party applications.

After installing this program, you must 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 included in the database. But this problem rarely affects users, since the databases are regularly updated.

Other ways to determine your telecom operator

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

Manual search for information

Most the hard way telecom operator definitions - using a code book. Each telephone number, in addition to the country code, encrypts the operator identifier. In Russia, numbers in the range from 900 to 999 are used. Today, domestic operators have used 79 codes from this range, and another 21 are in reserve.

Representatives of the “Big Three” occupied the largest number of identifiers.

Table of operator codes MTS, Megafon and Beeline

As you can see even in this table to different operators belong to 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, a manual search for information only provides general information, and with code 902 it is completely useless.

We receive information about the country and operator from our operator

Telecom operators provide the most accurate information about their subscribers. Since December 2013, Russia has had a law on preserving the number when a client moves to another cellular company. This causes confusion if a person tries to independently determine the operator using the 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, accessible to anyone. You must enter the number without the country code - starting with 9.
  2. MTS fell behind its competitors - it launched a paid verification service, available only to its clients. 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 a country code, starting with 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. Through the website, anyone 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 very easy to read. Enter the numbers you see in the field on the right. If you are a Beeline subscriber, 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 many useful services on his website, including those for determining whether a subscriber number belongs to a specific 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 with information for subscribers.

Using e-wallets

If you have an electronic wallet, you can use it to determine whether a number belongs to a specific telecom operator. To do this, select “Deposit money to your 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 imperfect and does not work on all electronic wallets. Some payment services do not provide the ability to display the names of the company serving the subscriber. This service works properly only for Qiwi users.

The easiest way to find out subscriber details

We have already mentioned the last method above - these are online services for receiving complete information about the subscriber. You will be able to 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 a stranger back, 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 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 as 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 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.
