Where did you register your phone number. Determination of the region by phone number. Other search methods

When everyone had landline phones, by giving the name of the subscriber, it was possible to get the home address of the client. Making the reverse operation was extremely problematic. With mobile communications, it is still more difficult, so finding out who owns the number cell phone very difficult. There are several ways you can try to find out the owner.

How to find out who owns a phone number

Telephone directories, where the name and surname of the owner of the stationary device and his address are written, do not exist for cellular phones. Only operators have complete information, but neither Beeline, nor Megafon, nor MTS will disclose a person's personal data. They can only verify who owns a phone number if requested by law enforcement. Such an operation is performed in the presence of a statement of hooliganism or extortion of money. If you need to find out for free who the phone number is registered to, you can use other methods:

  • pierce through the database from third-party sites;
  • find on the Internet through Google or Yandex.

Base of mobile numbers

Some tech-savvy people collect data from sites with weak Internet protection. Then they form such an online telephone directory, which contains the cell phone, the name / surname of the owner, sometimes the address. This activity is illegal, but updated databases are constantly appearing on the network. Through them, you can find out whose phone number, but the reliability of the information is in doubt and often they are asked to pay for it.

As a rule, such a database of people by phone number is posted on the site with a certain number of positive reviews, and then the person is invited to pay for it and download it. It should be understood that this information was not found from official sources, the reliability of the data is extremely low. These databases will not give you a free check on who the mobile phone number is registered to, so you buy and pay blindly.

How to punch a phone number over the Internet for free

The only possible option, how to find out the owner by cell phone number for free, is to check it through search engines. This is a legal, easy and fast way to find people without breaking any laws. On many sites with advertisements for the sale, in questionnaires social networks for completeness of filling out the account, they are asked to indicate the email, cell. Every day, Google and Yandex crawl all pages, and it can get into the index.

Next, you just need to go into any search and write all 12 digits in full. If it was indexed earlier, then you will be shown matches and you can go to the questionnaire, where other data about the page owner will be indicated. The search service is completely free, but the chance of finding what you are looking for is also small. In addition, the system can find old information, and the owner of the package could well have changed several times.

Find out where a phone number is registered

The simplest thing that is available to every person who wants to know where a mobile phone number is registered is online services checks. The last name / first name of the subscriber is not indicated there, you will simply be provided with information where (in which area, region) the purchase of the tariff plan was made. Each operator and region is assigned unique DEF codes, which indicate that the cell belongs to a particular area. You will not see a point on the map or the city where the mobile was registered, but you will definitely recognize the provider's company and region.

There are many sites on the Internet that provide this service. All of them use a standard search form, which, by DEF, determines belonging to a region, a specific operator. This will help you decide whether to call back the subscriber or your tariff plan charges too high for connection. If it is not possible to view the data through the form, then the package is either blocked or no longer served.

Video: find out the owner by phone number

The distribution of mobile phone numbers is handled by cellular operators and public communications services. As a result of this, we can observe a relatively clear division of the ownership of numbers. Can I find out where the mobile phone number is registered (city or region)? Such information is not particularly secret, so it is present in open access.

Numerous online databases will help you find out the region by mobile number, in which the distribution of numbers among various operators is registered. Such databases can be found in any search engine - just ask the appropriate query. Once on one of the sites, you need to enter a phone number or part of it, click on the search button and wait for the results. Individual services provide the following information:

  • Full range of addresses;
  • Name of the region;
  • The name of the operator.

Search for a person by phone number

We recommend using those services where it is enough to indicate the first digits of the number. This is due to the fact that driving into the form valid number phone, there is a risk of getting into spam databases - the phone can be overwhelmed by a wave of spam. Some readers may argue - why use the bases, if you can determine the belonging of the number by the federal code? To some extent this is true, but numbers with the federal code +7-921 (MegaFon) are found not only in St. Petersburg, but also in other areas of the North-West region. The same applies to the south of Russia - here numbers with the federal code +7-928 (MegaFon) are found in the Rostov region, in the Krasnodar Territory, as well as in the Stavropol Territory.

Also, little-known federal codes work in some regions, for example, in the Krasnodar Territory, some MegaFon numbers begin with the numbers + 7-938 or + 7-929 - such codes are rare and their belonging raises certain questions.

As for such an operator as Beeline, there is a serious confusion with the ownership of numbers. So, a number with the federal code +7-961 can be found anywhere in Russia:

  • +7-961-565 is the Kirov region;
  • +7-961-234 is the Altai Territory;
  • +7-961-335 is the Republic of Mari El;
  • +7-961-881 is the Omsk region.

The same applies to the Tele2 operator, whose numbers with the same prefixes are found throughout the Russian territory.

Search through contact centers

You can also find out where the mobile phone number is registered through the contact center of your operator. Call the appropriate number and ask the consultant to provide information about the requested number. No one will give complete data, but he will be able to tell which region you will be in by typing the indicated numbers. Similar information will be provided by consultants of service offices of mobile operators.

Other search methods

In order to find out where the mobile phone number is registered, we can use one of the IP telephony services. For example, by visiting the “Personal Account” of the Comtube IP operator, we will see a form for making a call. After dialing the number, the region of the dialed number will be indicated here. At the same time, you can make an inexpensive call here.

This method is good because it provides high accuracy in determining the region where the number belongs, since operators always have up-to-date data on the distribution of numbers.

Another way is to install an application on your smartphone that will track phone numbers and display complete information on them. In a similar way, the dialers already installed on some phones act, indicating the regional belonging of the numbers.

Search subtleties

Many readers have already noticed that we are talking exclusively about the regional affiliation of numbers. Is it possible to find out in which city the mobile phone number is registered? Unfortunately, this information is closed - only mobile operators know about it. Also, a number can be purchased in one city of the region, and used in another. That's why the maximum limit of accuracy is the name of the region.

You also need to take into account that many bases of geographic affiliation of numbers on the Internet contain outdated information. To clarify the information, try to search in several databases at once. The vast majority of databases provide information for free, since there is nothing secret in this information.

Remote banking services are designed to save customers time and reduce queues at bank branches. If before we had to go to the savings bank with each payment, now all payments can be made remotely without leaving home. What is needed for this? Register in the mobile bank of Sberbank and master the main sections of the service.

Sberbank Online is the name of an online bank that provides remote access to all your accounts. In your personal account, you can control the status of deposits, loans, cards, open new accounts, make any payments and transfers.

How to register in the mobile banking system?

Registration in the Sberbank mobile banking system involves gaining access to your personal account using a login and password. You can get this data like this:

  1. First of all, for self-registration, we need a Sberbank bank card. If you don’t have one yet, get an instant issuance card or a free “Social” one.
  2. To gain access to a remote service channel, you need to activate the "" service - this is a procedure for linking your number to an account so that you can safely log into the system, receive replenishment and debit messages, and manage services from your mobile phone.

Registration instructions:

Having a card in hand, go to the Sberbank website and click on the link "Sberbank Online" - Registration:

Now you need to go through 3 steps of registration on the official website:

  • Step 1: Enter card details:

  • Step 2: Enter your mobile number and confirm it by SMS;
  • Step 3: We receive a login and a temporary password for the first login to the specified phone number.

When you visit the service for the first time, you will be offered a short tour from the bank through the sections. This 5-minute training is enough to understand the principles of operation personal account. The service interface is convenient and easy to understand for all age categories.

Is the Sberbank Online service paid or not?

We are often asked a similar question in a special section "". We will dispel your doubts - Internet banking is free for individuals in any credit institution.

You may only be charged for the version mobile bank, of which there are two:

  • Complete
  • Economy

The full version includes SMS informing, for which 30-60 rubles per month are charged. This version can be disabled if you do not want to receive SMS. Many people confuse this commission with the payment of Sberbank Online.

The economy package of a mobile bank, which is provided free of charge, is quite enough to work with a remote service. If you want to have access to your accounts anytime and anywhere, just install the mobile application on your phone and control the balance from the smartphone screen.
