How to find out the country and operator by phone number
The standard capabilities of smartphones allow you to find out from which region the call came from, without additional programs. However, this option does not work for all numbers and not every smartphone supports it. Therefore, you can use other options:
- Search online by phone number. This option is good because you don’t need to define the code yourself - just enter the phone number in a special window and you will receive complete information about it.
- Manual search. Stationery stores sell diaries in which the first or last pages are given for reference information. With their help, you can determine from which country you were disturbed by a call. To use this method, you must correctly determine the code - these are the first 1-3 digits, excluding the “+” sign.
Of course, it is best to use the online method. When searching online, you do not need to independently extract the code from a set of numbers. This service is absolutely free for you. The search form allows you to determine the telecom operator and find out other details about the number.
Combination to check
The first thing worth mentioning is that it is not always easy to find out who the Beeline SIM card is registered to. This is due to confidentiality: everything related to plastic is the subscriber’s personal information, which is not subject to disclosure to third parties. This is why it is so difficult to obtain the data of interest: the operator acts within the law - and you do not break it!
Situations can be different: what prompted you to find out who the Beeline mobile phone number is registered to? If you find plastic at home and can't figure out who it belongs to, you can try the following:
- Insert the card into the phone and turn it on;
- If there is no PIN code protection, move on;
- If a PIN request appears on the screen, try the standard combinations 0000 or 1111;
- The PIN code has arrived - you can open the numeric keypad and enter the code *110*9#;
- In response, you will receive a password to log into your personal account;
- Log into the user’s personal account through the application on the smartphone and look at personal data in the corresponding section on the main screen. Here you can find out who the number is registered to.
What is the default SIM card PIN code - look here!
Warning! If you come across an offer online - some people offer to find out who the Beeline SIM card is issued to and the number is registered, you should not believe the advertisement. It is impossible to find out information without contacting the operator’s systems: these are scammers who can steal your money and personal data. Take care of yourself and do not agree to dubious services that do not meet legal requirements.
Phone applications to determine operator by number
Well, if the search form is not enough for you, then for smartphones that run on different operating systems, a lot of applications have been created to help you determine the numbers and the region from which the call is coming. Not long ago, Yandex created its own identifier that allows you to find out the organization from which the call came. But the functionality of this program is limited - if a company uses a third-party phone number, for example, the mobile number of one of the managers, then you will not know who wants to contact you.
Cellular mobile operators of Russia. Operator code table
A good application is the “Russian Operators” utility. It allows you to determine for incoming and outgoing calls which operator is servicing your interlocutor. The disadvantage of the program is that you will not be able to determine the country of the call. Databases are limited to our country.
Call Dispatcher
The Call Dispatcher application is more successful in terms of the amount of reference information. Its databases collected information about Ukrainian, Belarusian and Abkhazian license plates. The functionality of the application allows you to:
- determine the country of the interlocutor when making an incoming or outgoing call;
- displaying information about the telecom operator, country and city during a call from a mobile or landline number;
- placing information about the subscriber in pop-up messages during a call;
- the ability to change the display time of messages;
- field for manual search in the directory;
- an extensive database of numbers in Russia and neighboring countries;
- identification of numbers written in international and local format;
- integration with any Android shell;
- work with different versions of operating systems, including outdated ones;
- correct work with third-party applications.
After installing this program, you must create a Call Dispatcher folder in the memory card directory, otherwise the databases will not be loaded. Only after creating the folder should you start downloading the databases. If you do not download them, the utility will not work. Another small problem when using this software product is that not all operators and numbers are included in the database. But this problem rarely affects users, since the databases are regularly updated.
Law enforcement
The second answer to the question of how to find out who the Beeline number is registered to is to contact the relevant authorities. If you find yourself in a difficult or unpleasant situation - you are being threatened, persecuted, or have become a victim of fraud, you can and should contact the police, prosecutor's office, FSB or FSO (depending on the situation).
- Law enforcement agencies can make a corresponding request to the operator - this will require strong evidence on your part;
- The company is obliged to provide data upon request - this complies with the requirements of the law.
We told you how to find out who the Beeline number is registered to - there is a third method, which does not always provide a successful result. But it fully complies with the law and does not violate human rights! We will talk about how to get details of calls from someone else's number at the link.
Other ways to determine your telecom operator
If you are sure that the call came to you from Russia (the number begins with the code +7), then it is enough to determine the telecom operator and the region of use of the SIM card. To do this, you can use different methods.
Manual search for information
Do not miss:
- Why don’t I receive SMS messages on my phone from banks, services, friends...
- How to block a phone number to prevent unwanted calls...
- Simple instructions on how to forward calls and SMS to another number
The most difficult way to determine a telecom operator is to use a code book. Each telephone number, in addition to the country code, encrypts the operator identifier. In Russia, numbers in the range from 900 to 999 are used. Today, domestic operators have used 79 codes from this range, and another 21 are in reserve.
Representatives of the “Big Three” occupied the largest number of identifiers.
Table of operator codes MTS, Megafon and Beeline
Operator name | Number of busy codes | Codes |
MTS | 25 | 902, 904, 908, 910, 911, 912, 913, 914, 915, 916, 917, 918, 919, 950, 978, 980, 981, 982, 983, 984, 985, 986, 987, 988, 989 |
Megaphone | 24 | 902, 904, 908, 920, 921, 922, 923, 924, 925, 926, 927, 928, 929, 930, 931, 932, 933, 934, 936, 937, 938, 939, 950, 999 |
Beeline | 24 | 900, 902, 903, 904, 905, 906, 908, 909, 950, 951, 953, 960, 961, 962, 963, 964, 965, 966, 967, 968, 969, 980, 983, 986 |
As you can see, even in this table, different operators have the same codes. The situation is no better for regional companies, which in most cases use the identifiers of larger telecom operators. For this reason, a manual search for information provides only general information, and with code 902 it is completely useless.
We receive information about the country and operator from our operator
Telecom operators provide the most accurate information about their subscribers. Since December 2013, Russia has had a law on preserving the number when a client moves to another cellular company. This causes confusion if a person tries to independently determine the operator using the code. But you don't have to do it yourself. Telecom operators have provided the ability to determine the ownership of a subscriber number.
- Megafon was the first to launch this service. On his official website he posted a form for checking the number, accessible to anyone. You must enter the number without the country code - starting with 9.
- MTS fell behind its competitors - it launched a paid verification service, available only to its clients. To check the number, you need to send a USSD request of the form: *111*916*number# - after entering the combination, press the call key. The phone number is entered without a country code, starting with 9. The request will cost you about 3 rubles (the cost depends on the region).
- Beeline offers two options for checking the ownership of a phone number: through the official website and a USSD request. Through the website, anyone can find out about the ownership of the number; just enter the number, starting with the operator code. Next to the field for entering information, there is a window with the numbers of the verification captcha - it is very easy to read. Enter the numbers you see in the field on the right. If you are a Beeline subscriber, you can send a request like: *444*number#. Data must be entered starting from 9.
- Tele 2 also took care of cellular users. He posted many useful services on his website, including those for determining whether a subscriber number belongs to a specific operator. This service is located in the section dedicated to the transfer of subscribers to another operator while maintaining the number.
The disadvantage of this method is that some operators have a paid service. Another disadvantage is that it is not easy to find the verification form on the official website. In most cases, it is “hidden” in one of the sections with information for subscribers.
Using e-wallets
If you have an electronic wallet, you can use it to determine whether a number belongs to a specific telecom operator. To do this, select “Deposit money to your mobile account” in the list of payments, and then enter the number. After this action, the name or logo of the operator will appear on the page. It is not necessary to make a payment.
This service is imperfect and does not work on all electronic wallets. Some payment services do not provide the ability to display the names of the company serving the subscriber. This service works properly only for Qiwi users.
What if the number is hidden?
If you are a Beeline subscriber, then to see the number of a hidden incoming call, you can use. This is not the cheapest pleasure - a day of use will cost 50 rubles, and connecting to the service for a month will cost 1,500 rubles. But sometimes safety costs more than money. To connect the “Super Determinator” , you need:
- dial the short command *110*4161# and press call;
- or call to connect by number 0674 4161.
To disable the "Super Determiner" :
- dial the short command *110*4160# and press call;
- call the number from your phone 0674 4160.
Using the “Super Identifier” you can see any hidden number, including those using “Anti-Caller ID” , an international or long-distance call.
The easiest way to find out subscriber details
Read the review “How to find out who called by phone number”
We have already mentioned the last method above - these are online services for obtaining complete information about the subscriber. You will be able to find out not only the telecom operator, but also the region where the SIM card was purchased. This will allow you to quickly navigate important issues: is it worth calling a stranger back, how much will a minute of communication cost, is it possible to make a call using only the included package of minutes of your tariff.
Most operators now offer unlimited on-net calls. For this reason, it is very important to find out which company the prospective interlocutor uses. If the subscriber belongs to your cellular operator and is in the same region as you, then most often you can call without fear.
The advantage of an online database is that it has a user-friendly interface. You just need to enter the number and click the “Find” button. After refreshing the page, you will receive the result in the form of a detailed report. A small drawback is that the information in the database is updated a little later than that of the operator. But every day information is entered more quickly.
Beeline support numbers
In order to reach the Beeline technical support manager, the subscriber can use any phone number - Beeline, another operator, or even a city landline.

Best operator: Tele2, Beeline, MTS
Modern life dictates the rule - you need to constantly be in touch. People need to constantly make calls, send messages and conduct transactions on the Internet. This opportunity is provided by cellular communications. However, there is no single cellular operator in Russia, so the client has to choose between providers. Market leaders are MTS, Beeline and Tele2. This also includes Megafon. According to statistics, these are the operators that are most in demand among customers.
Which operator is better than Megafon, Tele2 or another operator is difficult. Each subscriber has his own preferences and vision of ideal communication. Therefore, it is impossible to answer unequivocally. But you can get acquainted with the advantages and disadvantages of each operator, and only then everyone will draw a conclusion for themselves - which operator is better suited for daily use.
The company began its activities in August 1993. During this time, the operator won over and won the trust of a significant number of subscribers. According to unofficial information, there are about 60 million, but this is difficult to verify.
The operator is constantly striving to expand its customer base, which is why it offers a large number of promotions. Promotional offers appear regularly. Loyalty programs and a wide range of tariffs allow us to offer the optimal solution for each client.
- Wide range of tariffs. Even a client with non-standard requests can find the optimal solution.
- Of all the market leader operators, Beeline most often runs promotions for connecting or changing a tariff plan.
- High level of service. Beeline specialists, both in sales centers and in the support service, take their work seriously and perform it efficiently. No client will be left unattended.
- Frequent connection problems. Corresponding reviews can be found on the Internet.
- Roaming is not profitable. This is one of the most expensive operators for roaming.
- Poor coverage of suburban areas.
The coverage map is a clear minus of Beeline. The company strives for profit and does not want to develop communications in sparsely populated areas.
Separately, customers note the long waiting times at Beeline technical support. They will provide high-quality assistance, but it is difficult to get through by phone - the high workload forces the client to hang on the phone.
When choosing which is better for Moscow or other large cities: Beeline or Tele2, it is better to give preference to Beeline. However, only if the subscriber does not have to travel outside the city often. Otherwise, communication problems will begin in the outback - poor coverage area. And within the confines of city life, each client can choose the right tariff for themselves - fortunately there are many of them.
As for the shortcomings, you will have to come to terms with them. Communication in Beeline is not ideal, but the quality of service is at a high level.
It is extremely difficult to determine which is better – Beeline or Tele2. All subscribers will remain unconvinced. After all, some people trust the one who founded the market, while others like the young operator.
However, in reality, Tele2 is a worthy competitor to Beeline and MTS, as well as Megafon. A new audience is attracted by the low cost of tariffs - they are anti-crisis.
In modern life, almost everyone has a mobile phone or other device that supports cellular communications. Quite recently, a new provider Tele2 appeared on the domestic market, which has already proven itself to be the best. One cannot but agree that the operator offers almost the most favorable conditions for communication in Russia and the CIS countries, however, the young mobile service representative also has some shortcomings, which, as the company’s management promises, will be eliminated in the near future.
Before delving into the essence of the issue in more detail, how to disable the Internet on Tele2, you should pay some attention to the provider itself, clearly examining its positive and negative aspects, in comparison with top mobile operators, which have been represented on the modern Russian market for quite a long time, and also in the CIS countries. Let's start our review of a communications service representative with a breakdown of the benefits.
The listed advantages are not all the advantages that customers of the mobile operator Tele2 encounter; there are also a number of less significant, but positive qualities. Having considered the main advantages, you should pay a little attention to the disadvantages of the cellular operator, namely.
- due to the fact that the operator is still young, the work system is not fully established, which is why there are often network failures;
- for the same reason, due to the recent appearance on the Russian market, the number of towers present does not always provide high-quality communication;
- in some areas the network may not catch everything for the same reason, due to a lack of repeater towers;
- when switching from another operator while maintaining the number, the network often slips, which is why you have to restart the mobile device;
- Cellular data transmission is always working, which is why to save traffic you should turn off the Internet on Tele2;
Against the backdrop of a large number of advantages, these disadvantages are not particularly noticeable, which allows you to use mobile communication services with great savings when compared with other operators.
Having familiarized yourself with the advantages and disadvantages of a mobile provider, you can switch to considering the question of how to disable the Internet in Tele2 for different tariff plans. It is worth noting that the most popular among compatriots are tariffs such as classic, black and additional Internet packages for those who like to use a mobile device to access the World Wide Web. Each tariff plan should be considered separately.
Still, Beeline or Tele2: which is better for connecting in 2021? Judging by the anti-crisis cost of services, it makes sense to connect to Tele2. However, some users complain about poor connection quality. This is partly due to the age of the operator - communication is not well established everywhere.
In large cities there are no complaints about the connection. The Internet works at high speed, and the interlocutor can be heard perfectly. Therefore, if you don’t have to think about traveling outside the city, Tele2 is an excellent choice. But in the outback it is better to choose a different operator.
The advantage is that the company is young and actively developing. Therefore, the ceiling has not yet been reached. Previously, customers complained about the high cost of national roaming, but Tele2 solved the problem with the “Everywhere Zero” service.
Constant expansion of the client base is possible due to the low cost of services. Now the number of Tele2 subscribers is about 25 million. They have made their choice and for them the question of the best operator is not so important.
But it’s worth thinking about which connection is better – Megafon or Tele2? Recently, Tele2's competitor, Megafon, recently offered a discount to subscribers when switching without changing their number. More about this in the video
This market leader began its activities in April 1993 and is still offering its services without losing ground. The operator has established itself as a reliable and affordable service provider. The company strives to keep up with developments and constantly introduces advanced technologies that help improve the quality of communications.
Today, over 100 million subscribers use MTS services - this is the best indicator on the market. A wide range of tariffs and a single Internet for all devices are the main features of MTS, which is the best operator, according to many. But is it? MTS or Tele2 – which is better for the average consumer?
As for the shortcomings of MTS, they are compensated by its advantages. High prices are nothing compared to excellent communications, especially for business people. The small coverage area is compensated by roaming agreements. However, within Russia this little thing still seems like a nuisance. Especially relevant for students.
Poor performance of call centers is a problem for all large operators. MTS has the largest customer base, so specialists do not have time to serve everyone. A solution to the problem was found by self-service services, but again, not everyone knows how to use them. For older people, this is a pressing issue, given the large number of operator promotions for communication services. Switching between tariffs can be difficult.
For business people whose work involves frequent travel around the country or abroad, MTS would be the ideal choice. City residents should think about choosing between Tele2 and Beeline. In regions, the coverage map should be taken into account. Perhaps regional operators are preferable to market leaders.
How to disable
If the operator still managed to impose a paid one on you, then you can disable “Hello” from Beeline as follows:
- Make a quick call to 0674090770 (dedicated line to disable the service)
- Call the operator and ask to turn off the one you don’t need. Some users dialed 0611 (answering machine), then the serial code 2-2-3-2, after which you will be connected to an operator;
- Disable the one indicated on the Beeline website.
