Find out the company by its cell phone number. How to check any mobile phone. It's completely legal. The easiest way to find out the subscriber data

It is often necessary to find out the owner of a mobile phone. Situations are different: from selling something big and valuable on the Internet to going on a date.

Is it realistic to break through a mobile phone in Russia and how to do it? We understand the issue.

What does the law say about it

On January 1, 2014, the Federal Law of November 2, 2013 No. 304-FZ "On Amendments to Article 44 of the Federal Law" On Communications "and the Code of Russian Federation on administrative offenses ".

The law banned the street sale of SIM cards. Now the operator or the person who acts on his behalf (dealer) is obliged to conclude an agreement on the sale of the card and enter the passport data of the subscriber.

The dealer must send the signed copy of the contract to the operator within 10 days. And the operator - to check the accuracy of the information.

What operators know about subscribers

Basic information should be entered into the contract: name, registration address, passport series and number, as well as when and by whom the document was issued. But if the SIM-card was bought from the hands of the metro or at the train station, then, of course, the data about the subscriber will be fake. You yourself understand how prohibitions work.

In addition, operators have data on calls made and SMS sent. They do not record calls (for now, keep in mind the "Yarovaya package"), but they save the contents of the SMS. They also have information about the dates and amounts of replenishment of the balance, the current account balance, the IMEI of the device.

Is location tracked? Yes, and not only when you call. Coordinates are recorded at the time of entering and exiting the network, moving between cells. Technically, the operator has the ability to manually request coordinates and record the entire track.

So how to pierce mobile phone?

1. Ask

Incredibly, it works. Call the number, say that you are conducting a survey, ask a few simple questions. At the end, specify the name and surname.

If a person is ready to cooperate and has already answered the questions, he can automatically give the last name or first name. Especially if you promise a small bonus. For example, replenish your account by taking part in a survey. And even transfer these 10-20 rubles (the amount should not be large, so as not to arouse suspicion).

2. Google

The easiest and completely legal way to learn a lot about the owner of a mobile number. People often leave this information in the public domain.

If the nickname is relatively rare, or if you find out something else, you can google further. Combinations "nick + city", "nick + surname", "nick + car brand", etc. will give additional information.

Finally, if you found a person's photo by number, it makes sense to use the FindFace service. He finds profiles of people on "VKontakte" by photos and gives links to them:

It often happens that they call from an unknown number and drop it. A call to such a number may be charged. Victims often post numbers on the Internet, so it is useful to Google the number before calling.

3. Check social networks

On Facebook, just a phone number is enough. In addition, you can go to the form for restoring access to the page and enter the number. The social network will offer to send a six-digit code to this number, and next to it it will show the account (photo and full name) to which it is linked:

"VKontakte" allows you to enter a phone number to restore access to the page, but requires the surname to which the number is linked.

4. Get into Viber

The messenger allows you to find out the first name (and most often the last name) and get a photo of the user. Click the Add button (blue with a plus in the lower right corner), then enter the phone number and add the user. After that, in the list of contacts, you need to click on it and select the "Information" item.

5. Top up his account

Salon employees cellular communication when replenishing an account by phone number, they usually see the full name of its owner. Pretend that you want to check if the number is correct and ask the employee to give the owner's full name.

Usually sellers meet halfway without suspecting anything. Indeed, you want to replenish someone's account, which means that you give the impression of an honest person.

And if the manager refuses to give his full name, you can go to another salon. Trying is not torture.

Again: you are not breaking anything. You just ask)))

6. Use special services

New sites where you can punch your mobile number appear regularly. But is it worth believing?

For example, here is one of the first in the search engine results - phonenumber.to. Reliability is how lucky.

I checked several numbers of my friends with their permission, and some of them confirmed the accuracy of the information. True, there is frankly little data: the registration address and e-mail, sometimes also a photo. If the number was recently changed, the service returns the old data.

There is also enough garbage in the service. Look, for example, at the results of the latest queries that the service is openly showing on the home page.

The site owner claims that he uses different software technologies to make the collected information as accurate and voluminous as possible. Data is obtained from open sources (the same search results), API of other sites, from people who collect and sell mobile databases. The users themselves also add information, not about themselves, of course.

UPD: after the article was published, we were contacted by a user whose number was shown on the main page of the resource. The user claims that the number and unflattering description were added to the database in revenge by an employee of the company with which he refused to work.

Conclusions: 1. This can happen to anyone. 2. The level of trust in phonenumber.to and others like it you yourself understand what.

Similar services are provided by the site nomer.me. Here they promise to break through not only the number and provide "full name, registration / registration address, date of birth, passport details of the owner, tariff, balance, date of opening (connection) of the number, history of the owners of the phone number, as well as who was the owner of the phone number in a given period. time or get a complete list of former owners ”(the author's spelling is preserved).

Developers claim to receive information from employees cellular companies, and not from offline databases, so the relevance is higher. They can also name other phones that belong to the owner of the indicated number.

Naturally, full prepayment is taken for everything, which is already alarming.

Nothing is technically impossible. Operators actually store subscriber data. The only question is whether OPSOS employees with the required level of access will be substituted for the sake of several hundred rubles.

Each employee signs a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). Violation is fraught with dismissal and the institution of a criminal case.

But the reviews about the service are rather negative. "Scam" is the mildest definition of defrauded customers. Say, they promise a lot, they take money, there is no result. You can't go into the consumer rights society with such a thing.

Actually, it is easy to check such services. Order information about your own phone number, and you will understand everything right away.

7. Check by the base of numbers

Buy the entire database or get access through the web interface - a method similar to the previous one. Even if the data is provided to you, there is a high risk that it will be outdated.

But most often, after transferring money or sending an SMS to a paid number, you are simply banned (blocked, added to the black list).

8. Contact the operator

If you or your loved ones are being threatened, you can contact the mobile operator directly and state the reasons for the request in a statement. Employees should review it and provide or not provide you with subscriber information.

But, of course, this does not work if you just need to find out information about the person you are hiring, want to buy something from him or go on a date. Practice shows that operators usually refuse and require an official request to be made through law enforcement agencies.

9. Go to the police, prosecutor's office, FSB, FSO

There is a relatively clear distribution of telephone numbers by region. This is done by mobile operators and government communications services. Information about the regional division is not secret, therefore anyone can find it out. This can be done through open databases or using free automatic Internet resources.

Why determine the belonging of a phone number to a region

The reasons why such information might be needed are few. So, determining the phone number by region is needed for people who want:

find out the whereabouts of the person who called them;
calculate how profitable (from a financial point of view) a call to a specified number will be (whether roaming conditions will apply and, if so, which ones).

Determination of belonging by code

The operator is determined by the mobile phone number based on the first two digits. All that goes further is the area identifier (def) and an individual set of numbers. Major cellular companies codes:

MTS. +791 and +798.
Megaphone. +792 and +793.
Beeline. +796 and some +790, +795, +798.
TELE 2. +799, +795 and some +790.

When using this method, keep in mind that it is not always reliable, since it is possible to jump to another operator with an old set of numbers. In addition, different companies may have the same two-digit identifier (excluding the first seven), but use a limited range for the third digit. Operator qualifiers also differ depending on areas. More detailed information below.

Beeline by region

One of the leading cellular companies in the Russian Federation uses 24 codes. The current list is regularly updated on the official website of Beeline. Table with codes belonging to regions:

MTS

More than 170 million subscribers are served by the mobile operator MTS. They are identified by 25 codes. The distribution by region is as follows:

Megaphone

Total mobile operator Megaphone uses 24 mobile code and serves over 130 million subscribers. This, combined with the convenient conditions for using the network, makes it one of the leading telecommunications companies. Distribution of codes by area:

TELE 2

Tele2 has more than 90 million identifiers, of which 13% are registered in Moscow and the Moscow region, and in other regions, 1-2% each. The company's network coverage covers almost all of Russia. A table with codes distributed by area:

Moscow
Lipetsk	900, 901, 904, 908, 950, 951, 952, 953, 958
Orlovskaya	900, 901, 953, 958, 993, 996
Magadan	951, 900, 993, 994, 902, 908
Tyva Republic	901, 952, 953, 993
Rostov	951, 952, 908, 900, 904, 950
Chelyabinsk	900, 904, 908, 950, 951, 952
Chuvash Republic
Tambov	900, 904, 908, 950, 951, 952

Internet resources for determining the belonging of a phone number to a region

Open databases provide free information about the regional affiliation of numbers, but some of them contain outdated information, so it is better to search using several resources at once. The most popular sites and applications that contain up-to-date data:

Pnone Wizard. Utility for smartphones or PDAs with a built-in database of telephone identifiers of the Russian Federation. Using the program is simple: you need to enter the numbers of interest and press the search button. The application will automatically find the information, then return the result - which scope the def belongs to.

Official site of the Federal Communications Agency. Go to the main page, in the top menu select Activity - Numbering resource. Then scroll down and click on Registry Statement Russian system and numbering plan. In the window that opens, fill in the columns Code, Number, Operator (only the second field is required), click Find.
Region-Operator. A site that performs a mobile search, identifying the region and operator. Contains up-to-date information and advanced data. For example, he writes that earlier the code belonged to the operator Megafon, but now it belongs to MTS (or TELE2).
GSM-Inform. Searches by the first five digits, but works more accurately if you enter the entire number. Defines the country, the mobile company, and the approximate place of registration def of the subscriber.
EduScan. If the identifier is unique, it finds the area by the first three digits. If multiple options are found, prompts you to enter more information. To go to the release form, go to the main page, scroll down and click Useful. Then select the Service for determining the region by mobile number. In addition, you can add a search engine as a bot to Telegram.

It is not recommended to use paid services (they are often scammers), as well as those resources that ask for all numbers in full. In the latter case, there is a risk of getting into the spam mailing base, especially since all the numbers are not needed to determine the regional affiliation. Full version of the tables above is present on the official websites of the companies Megafon, TELE2, MTS, Beeline. In addition, the region by number cell phone can be obtained from consultants of mobile communications by calling or contacting the office of the company.

2 ... At three large Russian mobile operators (MTS, Megafon, Beeline) you will definitely know by the first three digits at the beginning phone number... Each of the Big Three operators has been assigned more codes than all other Russian operators combined. The following codes are allocated for operators of the Big Three:

Beeline: 903, 905, 906, 909, 960-968;
Megaphone: 920-928, 930-938, some 929 and 997;
MTS: 910-919, 980-989.

3 ... On the Internet, you can also find special programs to identify operators and the region in which the person is located, by phone number. For example, in programs such as DEF or Pnone Wizard, you will find the number of any subscriber, no matter which operator it belongs to and you can identify the service provider by the cell phone number.

4 ... You can also check the phone you need on the Internet against the databases of cellular operators. The most accurate and complete range in which the numbers are located will be indicated there. this operator in the region. This is especially useful for those operators who use generic DEF codes.

Free of charge Identify by the cell phone number of the cellular operator and the region of the Russian Federation

Probably everyone has had such a situation when you need to call on some phone, but at first glance it is almost impossible to determine which region this number is assigned to, especially if it is mobile. So, it is not clear whether this call will be charged as local or as long-distance.

And this is the situation. You need to put, top up the balance of a cell phone, mobile operator numbers, but you don't know where to turn. In WebMoney or in other services, for example, in, you need to specify the mobile operator in order to replenish the phone balance.

Or here's another example. You look at Avito, a good car is sold and inexpensively and the phone is written "Stavropol". Upon verification, the telephone number of the city of Kurgan appears. It is immediately clear that you don't call "razvodilovo". Since there 100% of the conversation is like this: "Put 1000 rubles on the phone, so that we would be sure and hold the car."

The presented service will help you quickly determine whether a phone number belongs to the operator and the region of Russia.

The design is optimized to work through a mobile phone browser. One request for information consumes less than 1 kilobyte (costs less than 1 kopeck), and tens, and maybe even hundreds of rubles can help save money. Indeed, if an unknown person called a cell phone, he immediately opened a page in his cell phone with an input form in order to identify the mobile operator and the region of the Russian Federation by the cell phone number.

It is clear that who owns the number only the police know and the mobile operator. This is confidential information. For disclosure to jail!

The final data at the time of updating the database is data from TsNIIS. Those. at the time of publication - June 1 this year - the number can be transferred to MTS. Today is June 30th and the situation could change. Therefore, for the ported numbers, information from the base from Rossvyaz is given.

Configuring and optimizing operating systems
