The next Moscow operator is Beeline, a trademark of VimpelCom PJSC. Its services are as follows:

• broadband Internet access.

Beeline is not only a mobile operator in Moscow and Russia. The company provides its services in many countries - Italy, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Laos, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, Armenia, Georgia, Algeria, Kyrgyzstan, Bangladesh and so on.

Megafon is the most actively developing

PJSC "MegaFon" presents to its subscribers the whole range of telematic services. It works not only in Moscow, but throughout Russia, as well as in Tajikistan, South Ossetia and Abkhazia. It was Megafon that was the first in the country to provide its subscribers with high-speed Internet - first 3G, and then LTE.

This mobile operator in Moscow is also known for its active acquisition of shares in other companies in its market - Synterra, Euroset, MegaLabs. Among its "daughters" - the notorious "Iota" and the provider NETBYNET.

"Tele2" - the most economical

In Russia, the Swedish company "Tele2" loudly declared itself back in 2003. Promising promotions also drew attention to it - high quality, excellent service, ease of operation, coupled with unprecedentedly low prices for communication. In Moscow, the mobile operator Tele2 appeared relatively recently - this was due to the fact that it smoothly integrated with the assets of Rostelecom in 2014. Before that, in 2013, the Swedish corporation "Tele2 AB" sold its Russian branch VTB group of companies.

Today "Tele2" provides a wide range of telecommunications services for both private clients and businesses. In addition to Moscow, the operator operates in 65 regions of Russia.

Yota is the most intriguing

Iota can certainly be considered the most mysterious Russian operator - the corporation's advertising campaign is to blame. Yota is the world leader in providing and also the recognized "fourth operator" in Russia according to 2014 data. Today it is not only a mobile operator in Moscow, but a company operating in 81 regions of the country (modem products are currently available only in 76 regions).

Visible advantages distinguish Yota from the rest of the variety of operators:

• Communication without roaming throughout the Russian Federation.

• Unlimited free voice communication within the network throughout the Russian Federation.
• "Transparent" control of their expenses in mobile application operator.

"Teletay" - the most obscure connection

Teletai is another product of VimpelCom, a service provider with attractive tariff plans and high quality of services offered. Basically, his line of TPs is designed for those who want to communicate economically and a lot - in unlimited variations. The company promises an unobtrusive multidisciplinary service, an individual approach to each subscriber, profitable offer for active users mobile internet and lovers to chat on the smartphone. There are also special offers for businessmen and customers who frequently visit the roaming zone.

The small popularity of "Teletai" is primarily due to the fact that it operates in only two regions - Moscow and the region, as well as in St. Petersburg.

Codes of mobile operators in Moscow

Information about the telephone codes belonging to each of the operators will also be useful to the reader.

Note that such belonging of telephone codes to a certain operator is typical only for Moscow - in other regions, mobile numbers provided by completely different companies may begin with these numbers. Don't forget also about new service- transfer from one operator to another while keeping your number.

The capital has a fairly wide range of mobile operators. The subscriber will always be able to choose from them a company that meets individual needs and provides cheap calls, unlimited tariffs, Internet access at maximum speed, special tariff plans for roaming or advantageous offers for business.

Each person at least once had a situation when you need to find out where the call came from or where this or that cell number is registered. Sometimes information is needed to navigate the cost of communication if it becomes necessary to call an unfamiliar subscriber. In some cases, such knowledge saves from communicating with scammers.

Question, how to determine the operator by phone number is not so difficult as it might seem at first glance. Especially if you know what information this set of numbers contains.

What does def mean - code or prefix?

You need to understand that identifying a mobile operator, as they say, at first glance, is unlikely to succeed. After all, the designations will vary, depending on the region. Therefore, first of all, it is worth figuring out what each digit of the number means, and what information can be obtained from it.

Let's start with the first digits of the number, which mean the country code. In the case of Russia, this is +7 or 8 if the call came from mobile phone. The only difference between these figures is that the first option allows you to communicate both within the country and using roaming. After dialing the "eight" it will be possible to call only by Russian Federation.

The next three digits are the def code (prefix) of the operator, which defines belonging to the provider company. On the Russian market only four large companies: Bee line, Megafon, Tele 2 and MTS. Prefixes are always unique, their value indicates the region in which the SIM card was purchased. Based on these data, the address of the subject can be determined.

To determine the operator who owns the cell number, you can use the appropriate search programs, such as Spravportal.

Recently, it has become possible to change the operator, while retaining your old mobile phone number. This caused some confusion, but there are services that can easily handle this. Popular free systems: "Kody.su" or "TeleHouse" determine whether there has been a change of operator.

Instructions on how to determine the operator by cell phone number looks like this. On the corresponding page of the site, a combination of numbers is entered in the box.

Input order:

• country code,
• city ​​code (operator),
• personal number.

After a few seconds, the system issues a response. Based on the analysis of the information received, the service determines:

• location country,
• the region where the subscriber is registered,
• which carrier the number belongs to.

Of course, you won’t be able to find out the city from which they called you, you will have to be content with the name of the region or region. The remaining seven digits are the subscriber's personal number. However, in our case, they do not carry any valuable information. It is impossible to find out the data of a person from them, since they are protected by law.

How to find out the operator by city number

If the failed interlocutor called from a fixed city number, it is also quite simple to figure out where the call came from. The first digits indicate the country, for Russia, as we have already found out, this is “+7” or “8”, but there can be two or even three characters. For example, Ukraine is the encoding "+38". Next come 2-5 digits, which mean the code of the locality within the country.

The last part is the number assigned to a specific address at a given telephone exchange. It can have from five to seven digits, it depends on the size of the settlement. Using them, it is not difficult to find out not only the city from which the call was received, but even the address of the subscriber's residence. For example, if the Nizhny Novgorod number looks like +7831 4XX-XX-XX, then the phone is located in the Central District of the city. More detailed information can be found in the online telephone directory of the phones09.info service. But this advice relevant if it is a direct number, when calling from which call forwarding is not used.

Any cellular operator tries to keep up with the times. One of the services that appeared not so long ago was the provision of landline numbers to subscribers. Undoubtedly, they are in demand. Such a number looks solid, but it is immediately impossible to understand that the phone is not located in the office. Communication is carried out by the operator through a single federal mobile number, which acts as a switch. Using the phonenum.info service, such numbers are determined easily and simply. For recognition, the database of Rossvyaz RF is used. You can find out the region, city and name of the mobile operator.

How to find out where the call came from without the Internet?

Using network services is the easiest way to find out where the call came from. But what about those who do not have access to the Internet? Do not forget that the cellular operator records all incoming and outgoing calls, and as a result, they are reflected in the details of calls. And this means that you can find out where you were called from by directly calling the customer support service using a single short number.

• "Beeline" 0611,
• "Tele" 2 611,
• "MTS" 0890,
• "Megafon" 0500.

However, it is not at all necessary to look for unnecessary information on how to contact the Beeline operator or any other cellular company. In addition, waiting for a response from a specialist may be delayed, since such services are usually very busy. To obtain short version details of calls to the phone, it is enough to know a short command. For each operator, it is different and usually looks like "*XXX#".

As you can see, in the structure of any phone number, everything you need to find out the necessary information is encrypted. However, it is not always possible to establish for certain where they tried to contact you from. After all, using a SIM card of a Russian operator, a subscriber can call from any part of the world. Therefore, it is simply impossible to foresee everything.

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 without additional programs find out from which region the call came through. 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 ah, a lot of applications have been created to help determine the numbers and 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 quantity background 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

Most hard way definitions of the telecom operator - use of the directory of codes. 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, a manual search for information only provides 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 users cellular communication. He posted on his website many useful services, including in order to determine whether the 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 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 receiving 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 does 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.

It's no secret that each subscriber has his own unique number, while the first 3 digits (+7 and 8 are not taken into account) suggest differences depending on the mobile operator. Many tariff plans offer 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. It is up to you to decide which option is more convenient for you, 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:

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

Both services are free and do not require registration. It is enough to follow the links above and enter the phone number of the operator of which you want to determine in the corresponding field. After that, the information you are interested in will appear.

List of phone codes of popular operators

The easiest way is to use one of the services above, 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).

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.

Mobile communication is an integral part of life - in 70% of cases, people make calls using not a stationary, but a cellular device. That is why it is important to know how to identify the operator by phone number so that the use of the device or tariff becomes as comfortable as possible for the subscriber.

In some cases, it is required to identify the operator by the mobile phone number from which the call came. This is important because:

• a person will be able to get information about the operator and compare it with their own “base” of acquaintances, friends and business contacts;
• you can understand how profitable calls to this phone number are (some tariff plans can significantly save money in the "native network");
• the subscriber will be able not to spend his own funds (some numbers may be paid for incoming calls).

In order to be completely sure that the call is made from the number of "your" operator, you need to visit the official website (Beeline, Megafon, Iota, MTS, Tele 2) - all information relevant for a given period of time is located there. You can also get answers by calling the operator.

In order to be completely safe from possible error, you also need to know that each mobile operator has own codes. Belonging to a particular operator is determined by a combination of three digits that come after 8 (or the country code in which the subscriber is registered, for Russia it is +7).

This approach is not a 100% guarantee of an accurate operator identification, as many users prefer to keep their phone number when switching to another operator.

It is also very important, when checking the number, to use official services so that the number does not get into the database of scammers. Safe functionality is only on official sites - this should not be forgotten either.

Consider the main codes related to the main operators providing mobile communications and Internet services in Russia:

• MTS - 910-919 and 980-982, as well as 985, 987, 988;
• Megafon - 920-937;
• Beeline - 903, 905, 906, 909, as well as 960-968, 976;
• TELE2 - 902, 904, 905, 950-953, 916.

It is recommended to additionally clarify whether the number belongs to a specific operator; online services are used for this purpose.

Example: a call may come from a Beeline subscriber, but the first digits after 8 may be 926. Such nuances can only be found on official services.

Beeline codes by region

The country is large, there are many cities and regions in it, so it is important to know additionally the codes that belong to them. This is necessary in order to take advantage of special offers and opportunities included in local rates.

Not only knowledge of the codes, but also special Internet resources will help determine the region. The information received will be useful for those who do not want to take risks and lose funds from their account by making calls to dubious numbers.

Several programs have also been developed that allow you to search for a phone number in the database of the main telecom operators - DEF or Pnone Wizard. It is impossible to say for sure how safe they are, so it is best to visit the official websites of operators or call their phones (short numbers).

Conclusion

Before answering a call, many users want to know the operator by phone number. If this cannot be done immediately (the person does not know the codes or doubts), it is better not to answer.

An unknown number may belong to scammers, so it is important to follow safety precautions. Verification is carried out by entering the number into the program or online service. You can also get help by calling the operator directly. All these actions are completely free and make it easy to identify the operator by phone number.
