When you receive an incoming call from an unknown subscriber, it is often necessary to find out the operator by the mobile phone number. To do this, you need to pay attention to the unique code at the beginning of the number.
Instructions
Step 1
The DEF-code, which is the first three digits of the number immediately after the international code, will help you find out the operator by the mobile phone number. For example, in the number + 7-918-848-44-00 this is the sequence 908. Each operator has several unique DEF-codes, which will allow you to accurately identify him.
Step 2
It is believed that the easiest way to find out the operator is by the MTS mobile phone number. This cellular company uses DEF codes from 910 to 919, as well as from 980 to 989. You can determine the Megafon operator by codes from 920 to 929, from 930 to 938, and also 997. The Beeline operator also uses combinations 903-906, 960 -968, as well as 909. In addition, there are DEF-codes that are assigned to regional operators: 900, 908, 950-956. If you see the code 954, it means the call is on satellite.
Step 3
If you do not have the opportunity to find out the operator by your mobile phone number on your own, use special Internet services. There are many sites that provide this opportunity. They have a similar principle of operation, differing only in the design of the interface. The resources that display the subscriber's region on the map are especially effective. You will find links to them below.
Step 4
Use special programs to help identify the operator by mobile number. They work on the basis of a built-in DEF code base that accurately identifies the operator. For example, there is a PhoneWizard application for the Java mobile platform. On smartphones and PCs, you can install "Operators of Russia" or a similar application - "Mobile operators".
Step 5
You can simply enter the DEF code into any of the Internet search engines to immediately find out the operator by the mobile phone number. Typically, the relevant information is displayed on the link to the site of the cellular company. Finally, you can contact any of the mobile offices or call one of the operators. With a high degree of probability, you will be prompted to whom this or that number is registered, and whether it is safe to make calls to it.
