Megafon is the most actively developing

PJSC Megafon presents to its subscribers the entire range of telematics services. It works not only in Moscow, but throughout Russia, as well as in Tajikistan, South Ossetia and Abkhazia. It was Megafon that was the first in the country to provide its subscribers with high-speed Internet - first 3G, and then LTE.

This Moscow mobile operator is also known for actively acquiring shares of other companies in its market - Synterra, Euroset, MegaLabs. Among its subsidiaries are the well-known Iota and the NETBYNET provider.

"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 unprecedented low prices to get in touch. 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 to blame advertising campaign corporations. 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.

The subscriber will always be able to choose from among them a company that meets individual needs and provides cheap calls, unlimited tariffs, Internet access at maximum speed, special tariff plans for roaming or advantageous offers for business.

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. Find out numbers mobile operators Russia can be done 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, the 903 series is typical, and for the Far East, 964. For Beeline, the gradation differs only in 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.

Russian mobile operator codes

02 September 2013

Mobile communications have integrated so firmly and organically into our lives that it is already difficult to imagine your day without cell phone. There are several operators in each country.
As a rule, these are a number of large companies operating at the federal level and many small, regional ones.
Somewhere there are very few such operators, in developed countries there are about 20-30, and in the USA there are more than 100!

Variety is wonderful. We have the opportunity to choose the company whose quality of service and tariffs are most suitable. But figuring out who owns this or that phone number can sometimes be very difficult. But this important information. Knowing the operator, we can at least roughly determine how much the call will cost. A simple example: if you call the number of your mobile operator, then the cost will be X, and if you call another operator, then 2X, 3X and so on. About the amount you will have to pay for a conversation with a subscriber of a foreign operator cellular communications, and it’s not worth talking about. Obviously it will be very large. Therefore, it is important to know the codes of Russian mobile operators so as not to get into trouble.

DETERMINING THE CODE OF THE MOBILE OPERATOR


The question arises: how to determine which mobile operator a phone number belongs to? There are several ways. The first is to memorize the operator codes of your country. Not the easiest option, you will agree. The second is to look for data on the Internet. Difficulties may also arise here, especially if the operator is foreign. How will you study the operator’s website in Arabic, for example? Therefore, we suggest you use the third method - the operator code base. We have created a section “World Mobile Operator Codes” especially for you. It contains useful and up-to-date information about codes and tips for deciphering a phone number. From this section you will learn that each mobile operator has its own special code, followed by the actual phone number. This code can consist of three or more digits and is called a prefix (or def code). It is the def code that allows you to determine the cellular operator. When researching a phone number, do not forget that the prefix may have a country code before it. Thus, the telephone number of any mobile operator consists of three parts: Country code + Operator code + Phone number

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 number mobile phone. IN international format There is also a country index (for Russia +7). Def codes (operator identifiers) consist of three digits; numbering starts from nine.

You can switch, for example, from MTS to Megafon while maintaining the same set of numbers.
