Having received a call from an unknown number on their phone, almost every subscriber asks the question: where did they call from - how to find out? Indeed, if you call this number, how much will be withdrawn from your account, and is it worth calling back at all?
In order to get reliable information about the region where the call originated, as well as about the mobile operator that services this number, many Internet services have been developed. In our article, we will talk in detail about how to find out where the number was called from: how to determine the telecom operator and area.
Selecting 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 data of interest to the subscriber about an unknown number:
- Services on the Internet to determine whether a number belongs to a company providing communication services and the region in whichit was purchased.
- Contact center of the operator whose SIM card the subscriber is using.
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
There are many services in the global network that can be useful. Their main advantages are:
- availability;
- no need to pay;
- receiving data online;
- the ability to view data for any number.
To obtain information, you should type a query in the search engine that the subscriber is used to, for example: where did you call from, how to find out? The search result will be returned in response. You can safely choose the option you like and follow the link provided.
Another advantage of such services is the simplicity of the interface. As a rule, such a site provides a special form for entering a number and a button that initiates the search. It is recommended to enter the number in full - indicating, among other things, the country code (+7/8). This will allow you to understand as accurately as possible where the call was made from.
Option 2: contact the call center operators
Another way to get information is to call the customer support hotline provided by your carrier. Where they called from, how to find out - such a question should be sent to a specialist who will acceptyour call. A few minutes after the check, an employee of the cellular company will answer you who provides communication services and in which region this number is registered. Please note that information about the owner of the number is not provided - only general information is available.
By the way, along with information about which area and operator a particular number belongs to, you can request data on how much a minute of communication can cost. This can be useful for those subscribers who plan to contact the person who called from an unknown number.
How to call the operator?
So, if you have decided the question of how to find out where a person called from, address a contact center specialist, then we bring to your attention the data on how you can contact customer support:
- For owners of a Megafon SIM card, this can be done by calling 0500. The call, of course, will be free, provided that the call is made from the number of this operator.
- Subscribers of the alternative telecom operator "Tele2" can contact the consultation line at 611.
- Persons using the communication services of the MTS operator have the opportunity to contact the employees of the dispatch service at 0890.
- For Beeline customers there is also a support line, which can be reached by calling 0611.
If you use another mobile operator, you can find contacts (phone / mail) on the official websitecompany or in the documentation that is issued when concluding a contract for the provision of services and purchasing a SIM card.
What do you need to keep in mind when receiving information like this?
How you can find out where you called, we told earlier: there are two ways to get data. At the same time, I would also like to draw attention to several facts:
- You must enter the number in the format indicated on the site: some portals allow you to view data only within the country and ignore the international code, while others take this into account when searching.
- The system will display information about the region in which the SIM card is registered. This does not mean at all that the call was made from the specified area. Indeed, after acquiring a number, a person could change his place of residence.
- Belonging to a mobile operator is determined quite simply. However, given the fact that currently the subscriber, having kept his number, can switch to another operator, we can say that there is a small risk that the operator will not be indicated quite correctly.

After you know which area the number belongs to and which operator, you should visit the website of the company that provides communication services and view information about long-distance calls.
