Instructions
Step 1
Call the phone number you are interested in. If he is not registered in the system, for a long period of time your calls will be answered by an autoinformer informing about the impossibility of making a call to this subscriber. Sometimes, when making calls to inactive numbers, the answering machine informs you that the number is not registered in the system. This is quite convenient, since you don't have to wait for a long time.
Step 2
Send an SMS message to the number you are interested in in order to find out if it is registered with any subscriber at the moment. It is also not a very convenient way, since a person may simply not use a SIM card for a long time, however, the number has a certain period of inactivity, after which it is withdrawn from the subscriber and entered into the free database. For the most likely to receive a report if the number is registered in the network, set the maximum waiting period in the settings of your phone before sending an SMS message.
Step 3
Use the online service https://www.numberingplans.com/.
