Which operator owns the network code 99. Phone numbers of Russian mobile operators by region - list of codes

When the cellular network is unavailable, your mobile phone may receive calls from unknown subscribers. Don’t worry about missing an important call, because there is an option on how to find out a mobile operator by phone number. The data obtained will help you avoid spending money on communication with another region or allow you to ignore the next call from a stranger.

Is it possible to determine an operator by phone number?

The Russian Federation has few mobile communication providers and each one has individual combinations of numbers. How to find out a mobile operator by phone number? Easily. If the number starts with +7, then a caller from Russia called you. There is a different number at the beginning of the combination, which means this is a call from another country or region. Knowing the codes of different countries, you can easily check where the calls are coming from.

In addition to this code, the next 3 digits in the mobile indicate the affiliation of a specific communication company. The number depends on the place where SIM cards are sold: it is allowed to buy a SIM card with a certain prefix in a specific region. The provider prefix is ​​unique for each region; based on it, the subject's address is searched. Def codes after the country code serve as an indicator for determining user affiliation. They are unique, always stable and fixed.

How to find which operator a cell phone number belongs to

There are many free sites where you can easily and easily find out which telecom operator it is by phone number. Their operating principle is to enter data in a special column and press start. Next, the system will analyze the entered combination of numbers and provide information. Some services only request the first 5 digits to reliably identify the owner's details. A cell phone number can be identified by a mobile operator in a matter of seconds, and the service itself shows the identity of the code.

Last year, a service was introduced to save data when switching to service from another provider. For example, a Beeline subscriber could become a Tele 2 user, while leaving the Beeline prefix. Therefore, the search system may not work imperfectly, because it is difficult to check whether a person has switched from one telecom operator to another. The companies themselves may not keep records of conversions, especially since such data is not saved in search engines. Checking through such applications may be ineffective.

Codes and prefixes of the largest mobile operators in Russia

Our country has only 4 large companies providing mobile communication services. You can find out the numbers of Russian mobile operators by looking at the three-digit code, which is individual when issuing a SIM card to each company. Therefore, the ability to provide information about whose subscriber it is takes a little time. System information is checked in a split second, and the reliability of the result depends on whether the provider was changed. If there was no change, then the data has not changed, so it can be used as reliable.

Megaphone

The following series are typical for Megafon: 920-932, 933, 938. The combinations of numbers are different for individual regions, for example, in Moscow it is 925, and in the Kirov region 922. In addition, Megafon provides the 929 and 997 series. The mobile operator divides the phone series with MTS and Beeline. The catalog of codes is placed inside the analyzing systems and is then used during checks.

Mobile TeleSystems (MTS)

The following series are typical for MTS: 910-919, 980-983, 988. These numbers help you find out where you can purchase a SIM card. For Moscow, 910 is used, and for Siberia, 913, 983. MTS has a peculiarity in the distribution of prefixes between cities, for example, after the code, the typical Moscow numbers are from 0 to 4, and St. Petersburg from 0 to 2 or from 7 to 9. The remaining numbers belong to others regions and cities.

Beeline

For Beeline, after the international code, the following series are characteristic: 903, 905-906, 909, 960-965, 967. Here the codes are tied to the subjects of the country; when checked, the system will display the name of the company with the region. For Moscow, series 903 is typical, and for the Far East, series 964. For Beeline, the gradation differs only in the territory of the Far East. All prefixes can be used within the state, and the Far Eastern District is assigned a unique combination of numbers. The district received this advantage due to the size of its territory, population, and the popularity of mobile communications.

Tele 2

The youngest provider, but already having its own code base. Tele 2 is characterized by the following prefixes: 900, 902, 904, 908, 950-953. It has its own characteristics - there is no provider in some regions of the country, so the coincidence of the prefixes with the data shows that the service is provided by a local company operating in the territory of one region or region. The same free services will help you find out information; they will clearly demonstrate where the call was made from and mark this place on the map.

How to find out the region by phone number

Any mobile system has its own combinations of numbers, which depend on the region in which the person bought the SIM card. This means that each combination of codes is unique within a specific subject of the Russian Federation. Services that determine the user's affiliation have this data, so they provide information about the region or region from which the subscriber called. You can find out the operator by phone number from the official websites of mobile communication companies.

A popular service for checking the subject of the country and the mobile subscriber is GSM-inform. To define a user, you need to enter the first 5 digits of the phone. Using the Spravportal program, you can clearly see on a map where you called from. Both services operate free of charge.

"Tele2" - the most economical

In Russia, the Swedish company Tele2 loudly announced itself back in 2003. Promising advertising campaigns also attracted attention to it - high quality, excellent service, ease of operation, coupled with unprecedentedly low communication prices. The mobile operator Tele2 appeared in Moscow relatively recently - this was due to the fact that it smoothly integrated with the assets of Rostelecom in 2014. Before this, in 2013, the Swedish corporation Tele2 AB sold its Russian branch to the VTB group of companies.

Today Tele2 provides a wide range of telecommunications services for both private clients and businesses. In addition to Moscow, the operator operates in another 65 regions of Russia.

Yota is the most intriguing

Yota can certainly be considered the most mysterious Russian operator - this is due to the corporation’s advertising campaign. Yota is the world leader in providing and is also the recognized “fourth operator” in Russia according to 2014 data. Today it is not only a mobile operator in Moscow, but a company operating in 81 regions of the country (modem products are currently available only in 76 regions).

The company promises an unobtrusive multidisciplinary service, an individual approach to each subscriber, and attractive offers for active mobile Internet users and those who like to chat on a smartphone. There are also special offers for businessmen and customers who frequently travel to the roaming area.

The slight popularity of Teletai is primarily due to the fact that it operates in only two regions - Moscow and the region, as well as in St. Petersburg.

Moscow mobile operator codes

DETERMINING THE CODE OF THE MOBILE OPERATOR

RUSSIAN MOBILE OPERATORS

MTS PHONE CODES

BEELINE PHONE CODES

TELEPHONE CODES MEGAFON

The three main mobile communication companies in the Russian Federation are MTS, Megafon and Beeline. The rest of Russia's mobile operators are not so popular, and even such giants as TELE2, Rostelecom and Yota do not reach the leaders. The coverage of large mobile communication companies covers the entire territory of the Russian Federation. To identify subscribers, telephone numbers are used, and to determine the provider, prefixes of cellular operators are used. One company, especially if it is large, may own several indices. For example, the list for MTS covers a wide range of numbers.

What is a cell phone number

A ten-digit identifier consisting of a provider code and a unique set of numbers is a mobile phone number. In the international format there is also a country index (for Russia +7). Def codes (operator identifiers) consist of three digits; numbering starts from nine. These are non-geographic telephone indexes, thanks to which it is possible to determine the subscriber's communication service provider, but companies no longer have a monopoly on them. You can switch, for example, from MTS to Megafon while maintaining the same set of numbers.

The transition service is currently available to a small number of people, and it is still possible to find out where an unknown person is calling from. For the same reason, number codes of Russian mobile operators remain in demand. Def are not considered classified information and are located in open databases. They encode not only information about the provider, but also about the region in which the number is registered (within a range of regions, and not a specific city or district).

Mobile operator codes

The Federal Communications Agency (Rossvyaz) distributes codes for Russian cellular operators. A table with a list of def identifiers is posted on the official website of the institution and is updated regularly. It is available for download to any Internet user. To make your search easier, you can enter the code into a special form on the website and quickly find information about the corresponding network provider and region.

Russian cellular companies

The leaders of the list are Megafon, MTS and Beeline. Besides them, there are other companies in the TOP. The most popular mobile operators in Russia:

• Iota. It has gained popularity as an innovative company providing voice mobile communication services and high-speed 4G Internet.
• Rostelecom. Leader in providing cable television and broadband Internet access. Reviews about the quality of the services provided are positive, but many clients criticize the work of technical support.
• MTT. Large cellular provider. Serves 2 million subscribers.

Russian mobile operator codes

A total of 57 identifiers are currently in use. The structure of the def code is as follows: 9, then one of the digits in the range from 0 to 9. This creates 9 two-digit indices, each of which has a third number, also from 0 to 9. Summary table of all occupied digits (distribution of cell phone numbers Russian operators by region below):

• 90: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9;
