Nowadays, mobile subscribers are increasingly interested in how to find a phone number via satellite. This service is usually needed by people who want to constantly be aware of the location of their loved ones.
Can I find my phone via satellite?
In fact, it is virtually impossible to find a phone via satellite, but it is still possible to track the location of a subscriber by his number, although a slightly different method is used for this. It should be borne in mind that satellites that supposedly control the movement of people on cell phones and other devices simply do not exist. Instead, a GSM cell signal tracking mechanism is used: a mobile tower located in the closest proximity to a person can calculate the approximate coordinates of a person. People who are not well versed in technical issues and are influenced by numerous sci-fi films often confuse the satellite signal and the GSM signal, believing that it is the former who is responsible for finding the current coordinates of a person.
How to determine the location of a subscriber by number?
To find out the location of a subscriber by his number, you can use one of the services offered by Russian mobile operators. Their principle of operation is based on the previously mentioned GSM signal tracking system. For example, MTS subscribers can activate the Locator service by sending a message with the required subscriber's number to the short number 6677. The cost of a request is about 5 rubles. Beeline subscribers can call 06849924 or send an SMS message, indicating the letter "L" in it, to 684 to find out where the person is. The cost of a single call is 2 rubles.
There are two ways to determine the location of the Megafon subscriber. You can dial * 148 * the subscriber's number # on your phone or call 0888 and tell the operator the number of the desired subscriber. The site locator.megafon.ru also allows you to search for subscribers. The cost of the above services is about 5 rubles.
Please note that in all cases, the subscriber you want to find must confirm the appropriate action on your part by sending an SMS message in response, accepting the request or rejecting it. Only then will you be able to find out where he is.
How else can you find your phone?
The ability to find a phone number "via satellite" (in fact, via a GSM signal or by an international IMEI identifier) is available to law enforcement agencies, which have access to special services. If the subscriber you want to find is missing, write an application for his search and send it to the nearest police station. In the application, provide his mobile phone number, as well as the model of the device. Law enforcement officials will help you find the missing person.
Be careful and do not trust suspicious sites and people on the Internet, allegedly offering to find a phone number via satellite. Most likely, you are dealing with common scammers who want to gain access to your phone number and use it for illegal purposes.
