As you know, the first six digits of a telephone number can be used to determine its belonging to a certain region of Russia. Today it is possible to initiate calls not only from mobiles, but also from landlines. The steps to determine the region of the phone number usually do not take much time.
Necessary
Cell phone, telephone directory
Instructions
Step 1
Determining the region of the landline phone. For such purposes, as an option, the telephone directory is optimal. Usually in such publications, in addition to phone numbers and their owners with the address of residence, city codes are also indicated. To find out the area by phone number, open the directory on the page of area codes. Here you need to find the first four digits of the phone number from which you received the call. After you find the code in the directory, opposite it you can see the city where the phone number you are interested in is registered. If you need to set the region of the cell number, the usual telephone directory will not help you.
Step 2
Determination of the area of the cell phone. Initially, you should copy the number you are interested in on paper. As soon as you do this, call the customer support service of your mobile operator and wait for the connection with the Call Center specialist. After connecting with a support representative, ask him to clarify whether the phone number you are interested in belongs to a certain region of Russia or the world as a whole. Tell the customer service representative the first six digits of the phone number. The answer will not be long in coming. Within a few seconds you will have information regarding the belonging of the number to a particular region of the country. Immediately you will be able to clarify the cost of an outgoing call to this phone number. Note that you can also set the regional affiliation of the landline phone in a similar way.
