Often we are faced with a situation when we need to find out the operator by the mobile phone number. All operators provide special discounted rates for calls within the "native" network. Therefore, it is worth checking which operators the phones belong to in your directory.
Instructions
Step 1
You can determine the operator by phone number on one of the special sites. For example, on https://mtsoft.ru/abcdef you can calculate not only the operator by the phone number, but also the region in which the subscriber's number is registered. The same information can be obtained from other sites: https://www.spravportal.ru/services/PhoneCodes/MobilePhoneInfo.aspx o
Step 2
You will definitely recognize the three major Russian operators by the first three digits at the beginning of the phone number. Each of the Big Three operators (MTS, Megafon, Beeline) has more codes than all other Russian operators combined.
Step 3
Look at the first three digits - this is the DEF code. If you see numbers from 910-919 or from 980-988, then this is "MTS". Numbers 903, 905, 909, 960-964 will indicate Beeline. The numbers 920-931, 937 indicate that the owner of the phone uses Megafon. All other operators today have at their disposal only seven three-digit codes - 901, 902, 904, 908, 950, 951, 952. The overwhelming number of codes belong to the GSM format. This situation has arisen because most of all subscribers use this type of communication today.
Step 4
On the Internet, you can also find special programs for identifying operators and the region in which a person is located, by 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.
Step 5
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 of this operator in this region are located will be indicated there. This is especially useful for those operators who use generic DEF codes. For example, Tele2 in the GSM network uses the common codes 904, 908, 950, 951, 952. And the Sky link in the CDMA network uses the code 901.
