How to identify an operator by phone number? This question is relevant primarily to those who pay a high amount for a call to a user of another operator. In order not to pay too much, you should limit yourself to calls within the network.
A mobile phone number consists of a "+" sign followed by 11 numbers. The first number is the country code. The next three-digit number is the operator code. It would seem that everything is simple. You just need to familiarize yourself with the list of operator codes. But in order to accurately determine the operator by code, you need to have phenomenal memory. After all, each operator has a whole list of codes.
How to identify an operator by number through special services
There are many services for determining the operator and the region where the phone number was registered. The most reliable and basic service is the Rossvyaz website rossvyaz.ru/activity/num_resurs/registerNum. On the site, you can only enter the code and find out where it is registered. Then the resulting list will contain all regions where this code is present for one mobile operator. If you enter the number completely, then, in addition to the operator, the service will also provide the region where the requested phone number was registered. Thus, a person will be able to understand whether he will call within the network and whether the call will be made to another region.
Another well-known service for identifying an operator by phone number is the site www.spravportal.ru. On the main page, select the "Define operator" item. In the window that appears, enter your mobile phone number. For Russia, you can enter a number starting from 8 or from +7. 10 numbers should follow. If the wrong amount is entered, then the service simply will not be able to provide information. After the phone number has been entered, you must press the "define" key. In the window that appears, all information about the phone number will be provided:
- country;
- region;
- mobile operator;
- operator's trademark;
- operator's official website;
- link to send SMS to the owner of the number from the official website of the operator.
Also, this site has a complete directory of mobile operator codes. On the main page you need to go down to the section "New directories" and select the directory of codes of mobile operators. The reference book lists the codes of Russian operators starting from 900 and ending with the operator code 999. It is important to understand that there can be only one operator under one code. But phone numbers with this operator code can be used in different regions of the Russian Federation.
