Having received a call from an unknown number on his phone, almost every subscriber asks himself: where did they call from - how to find out? Indeed, if you call this number, what amount will be charged, and is it worth calling back at all?

In order to obtain reliable information about the region from which the call originated, as well as the operator of cellular communication, which provides maintenance of this number, a lot of Internet services have been developed. In our article, we will tell you in detail how to find out where the phone was called from: how to identify the telecom operator and the region.

Choose a search option

At the moment, there are two ways to get data: they are absolutely official and guaranteed to allow you to get the subscriber's information about an unknown number:

1. Services on the Internet to determine the affiliation of the number to the company that provides communication services and the region in which it was purchased.
2. Contact center of the operator, whose SIM card is used by the subscriber.

About how you can use each of the above methods and find out where they called from, by the number, will be described below.

Option 1: Internet services

In the global network, there are many services that can be useful. Their main advantages are:

• availability;
• No need to pay;
• Receiving data in online mode;
• The ability to view data on any number.

To obtain information, it is necessary to type in the search engine used by the subscriber, for example: from where did they call, how to find out? In response, the search result will be provided. You can safely choose the option you like and click on the link provided.

Another advantage of such services is the simplicity of the interface. As a rule, on such a site there is a special form for entering the number and a button with which to initiate the search. It is recommended to enter the number completely - indicating, including the country code (+7/8). This will make it possible to understand as precisely as possible where the call was made.

Option 2: contacting call center operators

Another way in which you can get information is to call the customer support hotline that the carrier provides. Whence called, how to find out - such a question should be sent to a specialist who will take your call. A few minutes after the check the employee of the cellular company will tell you who provides the communication services and in which region the number is registered. Please note that data about the owner of the number is not provided - only the receipt of general information is available.

By the way, along with information about which area and operator the specific number refers to, you can request data about how much time a communication can cost. This can be useful for those subscribers who plan to communicate with the person who called from an unknown number.

How to call the operator?

So, if you have decided the question, how to find out where the person called from, to contact the contact center specialist, then we offer you information on how to contact customer support:

• For owners of the SIM card of Megafon, you can do this at 0500. The call will naturally be free, provided that the call is made from the number of this operator.
• Subscribers of the alternative telecom operator Tele2 can apply to the line of consultations at 611.
• Those who use the services of the MTS operator have the opportunity to contact the dispatch service at 0890.
• For customers of "Beeline" there is also a support line, which you can call on 0611 .

If you use another cellular operator, you can find out the contacts (phone / mail) on the official website of the company or in the documentation that is issued when signing a service agreement and purchasing a SIM card.

What do you need to remember when you receive such information?

How we can find out where we called from, we told earlier: there are two ways to get data. I would also like to draw attention to several facts:

1. Enter the number in the format indicated on the site: some portals allow you to view the data only within the country and ignore the international code, while others allow for this when searching.
2. The system displays information about the region in which the SIM card is registered. This does not mean that the call was made precisely from the specified area. After all, after purchasing the number, a person could change his place of residence.
3. Ownership to the mobile operator is quite simple. However, considering the fact that at present the subscriber, having saved his number, can switch to another operator, we can say that there is a small risk that the operator will be indicated not quite correctly.

Conclusion

In this article, we talked about how to clarify where they called from. How can I find out the cost of a call to this number? After it becomes known, to which area the number refers and to which operator, you should visit the site of the company that provides communication services, and view information about long-distance calls.
