It often happens that when you try to call a certain subscriber, it turns out that the number belongs to another person. There are several methods you can use to find out exactly if a phone number has changed.
Necessary
- - mobile or landline phone;
- - Internet access.
Instructions
Step 1
In order to find out if the phone number of a cellular network subscriber has changed, call him and ask the person who answered you directly. This method is relevant only in cases when the number is active, and it so happens that after disconnecting the subscriber, his former number remains unused for a long time. In this case, the system informs you that the subscriber is out of the network coverage area.
Step 2
If you want to know if the number of a subscriber who is not available for a call has changed, send him an SMS message that he can read when the phone is turned on, when he turns it on and is within the network coverage area. Set the maximum waiting period for message delivery in the settings of your phone, also enable the delivery report, if you have not previously configured it for this number. In this case, you can be notified about the presence of the subscriber in the network as soon as his phone is available.
Step 3
In order to find out whether the telephone number of a subscriber of the city telephone network has changed, use the special directories of your city. Please note that databases of such directories may have outdated information.
Step 4
You can find them on the websites and forums of your city, as well as use the database of telephone numbers on the website nomer.org, which provides information about the subscribers of city telephone exchanges in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and other neighboring countries. A call to this phone number is irrelevant here, because when you disconnect it, in most cases you hear the same beeps that usually occur when dialing an free line.
Step 5
You can also find out about changes in city numbers by the telephone company on its official website. This sometimes happens when there are any changes in the work of the city automatic telephone exchange.
