How to find out a region by phone number - All options

Users very often see unknown numbers on the screens of their smartphones, calling, as it turns out after the answer, from another region of our country or even from a neighboring state. But sometimes incoming calls go unattended, and after a few minutes a person is faced with the question of whether it is worth calling back the caller: it should be noted that, first of all, in such situations, a person is stopped by domestic or even international roaming. Knowing how to determine the region by mobile phone number, the user will be able to make sure that high expenses in the form of roaming charges for an outgoing call are impossible.

What is a cell phone number?

Based on the telephone numbering plan, the codes of Russian cellular operators look like a three-digit number that starts with nine. Next comes the number itself, which belongs to the subscriber, consisting of seven digits: 9 xx xxx-xx-xx. Or the international format that is more familiar to us: +7 9хх xxx-xx-xx. Russian mobile operator codes are non-geographic telephone codes or, in other words, def-codes . Cellular companies are allocated one or more telephone codes within which they can distribute numbers to their subscribers.

Not so long ago, you could be sure that if you received a call from a number that begins, for example, with +7 92..., then such a number belongs to Megafon. However, the system, which made it possible to switch from one operator to another while maintaining the number, made it difficult to determine whether a number belonged to a specific operator. Now the table of mobile operator codes may no longer be relevant, because the number, for example, with the Megafon code, may already belong to another operator. However, it must be said that a small percentage of subscribers have so far used the service of switching between operators, so in most cases it is still possible to determine the operator and region by number.
