Find a person using a phone number. A simple way to find out information about a person by mobile phone number. As part of special operator services
Today, most people around the world use mobile telephony due to its widespread availability and convenience. No less of them use social networks, thanks to which everyone can search for any person registered there.
By opening up the convenience of communication, the social network also allows you to quickly find people if there is no complete information about them or they are hidden. Having only a personal mobile phone number or some combination of mobile phone numbers in hand, you can find an account and get in touch. This will be much more convenient than sorting through numbers, calling or writing SMS. Read about how to find a person by phone number on social networks in this article.
A way to find a person by mobile number on VKontakte that has stopped working
The registration process on VK.COM takes place through a mobile phone, which previously provided access to a simple way to search for people. Today it stopped working as additional checks were introduced.
First, go to the VK.COM website, log out of your account and click on the link below to go to the mobile version of the site:
Let's say we know a certain number 89225763248 - enter it. If a user with such a mobile phone is registered, the system will allow you to proceed to the next step. This step is to verify the last name specified in the profile. If you know, in addition to the number, the last name, then you can find the account. Without specifying the last name, it is impossible to find a profile in this way - this is the security innovation that blocks access to a simple way to find a person by phone number:
But do not despair, as there are other methods of obtaining the necessary information.
Search news and posts on VK.com
It happens that VKontakte users leave their profile public - accessible for internal and external searches, and also indicate a personal mobile phone number. The probability of such an outcome is small, but it should be used.
To check this: log into your personal account, go to the profile page and indicate your existing phone number in the search bar: 
As a result, we receive a list of news, records and publications that are in one way or another related to the desired numbers. Let's say, after looking through all the information found, we managed to find the necessary information - we rejoice!
If the necessary information is not available (as in our case), we move on to another method of searching for a person.
We are looking for people through synchronization of device contacts and VK.com
To use this method, you need to follow a few simple steps. However, to perform them, you must first install the VK.com application on your mobile device and log into your account.
To find people through contact synchronization, you need to first create these contacts on your device. To do this, dial the number (89225763248 - our test one), save it in the device’s phone book:
Then launch the application, go to the “Settings” - “Account” section: 
And let's go to synchronize contacts:
In the window that appears, select “Contacts only” instead of “Do not sync”:
p.s. After a while, a notification was sent to the mail that among the imported contacts it was possible to find a person with the required mobile phone number: 
A mobile phone is a companion of a modern person. Without it, life becomes incomplete, since this device makes it possible to make calls, send messages, and use the Internet. You can also find a subscriber by phone number.
They are looking for people for various reasons - some are simply interested in the person who called, others are tired of telephone hooligans. Let's talk about how to find a person by phone number. There are several methods, and each of them is useful in its own way.
Special services
There are sites on the Internet that offer to find any subscriber by mobile phone number. They work by subsisting on advertising. No need to register. However, you will not be able to find a person with maximum accuracy. Only approximate coordinates are given here.
Police
This is a radical option when you are looking for a fraudster or have other compelling reasons to find a person by contacting law enforcement agencies. But the most effective one - they will find it there quickly and without problems.
Unofficial databases and search engines
You can try to find information about the phone number yourself. There are databases on the Internet with information about subscribers. Most of them are outdated, but you can try entering the number and maybe you'll get lucky. Remember that the distribution of such databases is punishable by law. Attention! Some sites offer fakes in archives that require money for downloading, but in fact do not contain anything valuable.
You can enter the numbers into a search engine. People often leave information about themselves on various sites - from their first and last names to their occupation. Finding a person by the number they left on their page on a social network is quite simple.
Operator services
The operator will give you information about the location of the subscriber only if he voluntarily agrees to this. There are special services that, after activation, allow you to track the movements of the owner of the device. Here are examples:
- "Locator" from MTS. The geolocation service from this operator costs 100 rubles per month and allows you to find out the location of any friend or relative who has given consent.
- "Beeline.Coordinates". The offer from Beeline is inferior to the MTS option, since it works exclusively with the operator’s subscribers. Therefore, it is not possible to find a person using the services of a competitor.
- "Radar" from Megafon. Best offer ever. There are several service options. The simplest one can be used for free, but it only allows you to track one specific person. Paid versions allow you not only to watch five people at once, but also remember their routes of movement.
Sometimes situations are frightening when a person answers frequent calls, but there is silence on the phone. It’s even worse when they threaten or force some information over the phone. Information technology will help you understand all unclear situations. There are several options for dialing a subscriber on an incoming call.
How to find a person by phone number
There are plenty of criminals and suspicious people in our modern world, so sometimes it is necessary to determine the owner by phone number. A simple method to find out about an unfamiliar call is to call the subscriber back. It is better to do this from a landline phone or another SIM card. To prevent the person from recognizing you, introduce yourself as a social service employee or come up with another legend to get as much information as possible about his personality. Another option is to search for a person by phone number using databases.
Mobile phone database
The Internet can help you find your interlocutor. There are many paid sites that offer to provide all the information about the caller for a certain amount. It is unknown whether a database of phone numbers exists from anyone other than mobile phone providers, so assess the risks before paying money for a service. Remember that the Internet is full of scammers. At best, you will get outdated data for your money, or even completely useless information.
Home Phone Database
If you received a call from a landline, it will be much easier to call the person by phone number. A database of home radiotelephones with lists of surnames is available in every city. It can also be found on the Internet. On the desired website, you need to select the name of the city and enter the numbers of interest. There is one significant disadvantage in this option - the database of telephone numbers is outdated, but the chances of finding the registration address of the right person and even passport details for free are very high.
Find a person by phone number on the map
Some services offer to track the owner of a cell phone online via satellite. You should know that this is not possible because celestial objects cannot track every cell phone. However, if you cannot find a person by phone number via satellite, then using a GSM signal you can. A mobile tower located near the subscriber of interest can calculate its approximate coordinates.
How to identify a person by phone number using a GSM signal? A service provided by many Russian operators will help determine the subscriber’s location. For example, MTS offers the “Locator” service. To connect it, you need to send an SMS with the desired number by dialing 6677 and pay for the service. Beeline subscribers also have the opportunity to track a person’s location by calling 06849924 and paying for the order. Megafon users need to call 0888 to find out the necessary information. This service is also not free.
Find on social networks by phone number
The Google search engine will help you find a subscriber by phone number if he is registered on social networks. Odnoklassniki and VKontakte always require confirmation of account registration via cell phone. This information is confidential, but sometimes the user indicates it on his page. Try entering the number you are interested in in the search bar of each social network.
If searching for people on social networks by phone is unsuccessful, you can try searching for the person online in search engines. Different search engines index pages differently, so you should contact each one individually: Mail. ru, Rambler, Google and Yandex. Enter your cell phone numbers without spaces in ten-digit format into the search bar. If a person created advertisements, communicated on forums or advertised his services, then you will find him.
Program for searching a person by phone number
The Internet offers online applications (direction finders) with convenient functionality for tracking a mobile number. However, there is no way to find out the location of a cell phone without the owner’s consent. Any similar program for finding a person by phone number needs to be installed on the device, after which all information about his location will be sent to the specified smartphone or computer.
How to find out who a mobile phone number is registered to
The first and last name of the owner of the smartphone is confidential information, so it is not so easy to find out. The police can check who the phone number is registered to only if a statement is written that you or your family are being threatened. All other options for determining the full name of an unwanted subscriber are illegal. When you really need to dial a number, you can check the region of purchase, determine the mobile operator and try to find out the last name in other ways.
Check phone number by region
Each mobile company enters its own digital codes. Using them you can easily find out which region a phone number belongs to. Each combination within the Russian Federation is unique. To get free information, you need to go to the websites of leading Russian mobile operators and check the first three digits of the number you are interested in. They will show in which region of the country the SIM card was issued. There is a website on the Internet: a single directory “Operator Codes in the Regions”, which also contains this information. This service is no longer free (3).
Which operator does the phone number belong to?
There are not many mobile operators in Russia. Each of them has individual digital combinations. It is very easy to establish the subscriber's provider if he called from a Russian SIM card (first digit +7). Belonging to a particular company is determined by three numbers following the first. They are fixed and always stable. To find an operator by phone number, you should know that Russia has only four large providers, which are characterized by the following codes:
- Megaphone. Combinations of numbers: 920-932, 933, 938. The series are different for regions, for example, Moscow is 925, and Kirov is 922. This provider also has series 929, 997.
- MTS. The company is characterized by: 910-919, 980-983, 988. For Moscow, the 910 series is used, for Siberia - 983, 913.
- Beeline. This company has the following numbers: 903, 905-906, 909, 960-965, 967. Here all the codes are linked, so when checking, the system immediately gives out the operator and region.
- Tele 2. Code base: 900, 902, 904, 908, 950-953. In some regions there is no provider, and the coincidence of the series shows that cellular services are provided by a local company.
Very often, people cannot find their phone, or they need to determine the location of a person using a phone number. In the modern world, solving this issue is quite simple, since there are programs and online services that help determine the location of the phone.
Cell phones
There are several ways to determine the location of a mobile phone:
- call/sms message;
- mobile operator;
- GPS search;
- special programs and services.
Call/SMS message
If you accidentally dropped your mobile phone while getting ready for work or walking in the park, you should call it or send SMS messages. When you hear a familiar ringtone, you can find your phone.
Mobile operator
Today, almost all cellular operators provide a service through which you can determine the location of your phone.
- Beeline has a “Mobile Locator”, which is provided free of charge. The subscriber pays only for relevant requests. The service is activated by number 06849924. In the future, to send a request, you need to send an SMS with the text “L” to number 684.
- You can find out the location of the subscriber from the MTS operator using the Locator service. To do this, you need to send an SMS message to number 6677, in which you indicate the name of the subscriber you are interested in. Only after confirmation will you be able to receive the necessary information.
- The Megafon company did not stand aside and offered its users a website locator.megafonkavkaz.ru, with which you can find out where the phone is located. The location of the required subscriber comes in the form of an SMS message. But before this, the second subscriber must consent to the processing of his data by sending an SMS to the number 000888 with the text “+ and your phone number.” To determine the location of a child, Megafon provides the “Beacon” service, which can be connected to one of the children’s tariffs.
If you were unable to find the subscriber, read the article or, where additional search options are given.
GPS search
GPS navigation allows you to find a person using satellite systems. If the owner of the phone has marked his location on the map, then the navigation will show where the phone is located.
