MTS codes and megaphone. Determining the region by phone number. Beeline phone codes

It is difficult to imagine a person today who can live without cellular communications. Every day people call each other, send millions of messages, go online using mobile phones. Mobile operators are responsible for the quality of communication, cost and package of services.

List of telecom operators in Russia

There is no single operator responsible for mobile communications. In Russia there are more than a hundred operating mobile operators. Some regional providers are subsidiaries of large Russian mobile operators.

According to statistics, the leaders among companies providing mobile communication services include 3 - the “big three” providers - MTS, Megafon, Beeline. These companies have the largest number of subscribers, the largest coverage area, and a wide range of services.

  1. MTS. The only “cell phone” that is among the 20 world leaders. At the end of 2017, it has the largest number of subscribers in Russia (more than 78 million people), and taking into account the CIS countries, the number of subscribers is more than 100 million. It has the most extensive network of communication stores in the country (more than 5,700 points).
  2. Megaphone. There are more than 76 million subscribers in Russia, and there is great demand for Megafon SIM cards in Abkhazia, Tajikistan, and South Ossetia. The company positions itself as the operator with the fastest mobile Internet.
  3. Beeline. The Vimpelcom OJSC brand is among the top hundred recognizable brands in the world. The number of subscribers in Russia reaches 59 million people, but Beeline leads in the number of roaming countries and partners. This allows you to stay connected while traveling and save on roaming services.

The top popular operators include companies that are not included in the “big three”, but in terms of popularity they constitute significant competition. The rating of cellular operators includes smaller companies, new ones, and regional ones. The very concept of the “Big Three” is becoming obsolete, because Other providers are also conquering the market:

  • Tinkoff Mobile is one of the newcomers to the communications market, which offers its users many pleasant bonuses: selection of an individual tariff without unnecessary services and pitfalls, beautiful numbers, affordable roaming. Also, importantly, the operator provides high-quality communication. And when you replenish your account for the first time, you will receive.
  • Tele2. At the end of 2017, this is the only company that increased the number of subscribers. It has been operating as a federal Russian operator since 2014 after receiving a license for communications in 3G format. The operator's audience is at least 40 million people in 65 regions of the country. The most active subscribers are in Moscow and the Moscow region, in St. Petersburg, Chelyabinsk and Nizhny Novgorod regions. It ranks 3rd in Russia in terms of the number of base stations, and is distinguished by fast mobile Internet due to low network load, as well as affordable package tariffs with the Internet.
  • Yota is a virtual cellular operator. The brand has existed since 2008. Powered by Megafon technical infrastructure. The subscriber base is about 1.5 million people. Until January 2017, the only operator with unlimited access to the mobile Internet, today the tariff line includes only products with a limited amount of traffic for smartphones, and for tablets and computers there are offers with unlimited internet, the price of which depends on the speed.
  • Rostelecom is an Internet provider and company providing home wireline and cable television services. The company offers its subscribers cellular communications in GSM 900/1800 format and mobile Internet.
  • "Motiv" serves only 4 regions in the Ural Federal District. This brand has existed since 2002. The company provides communications in GPRS / EDGE, IVR, MMS, SMS, USSD formats, but is not represented in Moscow.
  • "SMARTS" is a Samara company. Communications in Russia are provided to subscribers from the Volga region and central regions of the country. The list of services includes transfer GPRS data, CSD, communication in GSM-900, GSM-1800 standards, SMS, MMS transmission.

Before choosing a cellular operator, each client must outline his own range of preferences and outline the requirements for mobile communications. Each provider is good in its own way; the best cellular operator can have regional status if the package of services it provides meets the client’s needs.

A list of communications within Russia, a telephone code and a comparison of operators will help you choose a suitable provider.

Map of mobile operators

Communications companies are sensitive to increasing customer demands. Now it is no longer only major players in the telecommunications market that offer high-quality communication coverage. The emergence of new towers makes it possible to provide communications to even the most remote settlements; you can now use a mobile phone in the subway and in high-rise buildings. Operators provide not only high-quality and uninterrupted telephone coverage, but also fast access to the Internet via 3G and 4G networks.

Each company is fighting to retain existing subscribers and expand its consumer base, so in almost every city there are salons where customers can not only purchase a starter package, but also receive qualified assistance or answers to their questions.

Each Russian company has a database of 11-digit numbers, which can be used to determine the operator and regions of connection of the number. Not all subscribers took advantage of the opportunity to switch from one operator to another, which appeared after the abolition of “mobile slavery,” so the table of codes helps determine where the unknown incoming “came” from.

If the number is registered in Moscow and the Moscow region, then the unknown number incoming call easy to define:

Beeline does not have a clear connection to the region, like other large operators. The company has separate codes only for the Far East and Primorsky Territory. But Yota’s numbers are not tied to the region; they all start with the code 999.

In the North-West region and St. Petersburg

Southern Federal District, including the North Caucasus

The tables indicate both codes designed for all regions, and those that apply only to the specified city or region. But large operators have codes for certain areas, i.e. cellular services will be cheaper only when used in your home region.

The place of registration of numbers with codes 950, 951, 952 with Tele2 can be the Irkutsk region, Khanty-Mansiysk region, Lipetsk region, Kursk region, Perm region, Chelyabinsk region, Kemerovo region, Republic of Buryatia, Republic of Mordovia, Tyumen region and Udmurtia.
Large operators have allocated separate codes for the Urals: 922 - Megafon, 982 - MTS.

What numbers do Russian operators use?

The telephone number of any Russian operator begins with 8; to dial in the international format you need to dial +7. However, inside Russia, the call will be equally successful when dialing from both eight and +7.

The international code is followed by prefix numbers - this is the DEF code used in mobile networks. The prefixes of Russian operators begin with 9, i.e. the general form of the code is always this: 9хх. For companies providing mobile communication services, one or more such codes are allocated. This makes it possible to determine the operator and region of the caller: 926, 916, 977 are Moscow numbers, and 911, 921 or 981 are St. Petersburg numbers.

For the “mobile three” there are a series of codes in which the second digits also match. For example, 91x or 98x are MTS numbers, and 92x or 93x are Megafon numbers.

The next 7 digits are the subscriber number, by which it is impossible to determine belonging to the region of residence or provider. The range of Beeline numbers can indicate region membership if the same prefix is ​​used. Code 905 is used in St. Petersburg (range from 250-00-00 to 289-99-99), as well as in the Ulyanovsk region. (range from 183-00-00 to 184-99-99).

But sometimes only the initial digits of the subscriber number help determine the operator. For example, DEF code 958 is used by more than 20 operators, including small companies (covering 1 region and a capacity of 10,000 numbers) and large ones (several dozen regions and hundreds of thousands of numbers).

As an example: the prefix of the TransTelecom company numbers is 7958, but since the company serves 30 regions of the country, you need to know the initial digits of the subscriber number in order to determine the origin of the outgoing call (-00х-хх-хх - Bashkiria, and -03х-хх-хх - Kaliningrad region, etc.).

The same prefix is ​​used by Gazprom Telecom, Business Network Irkutsk, State Unitary Enterprise Smolny Automatic Telephone Station, Interregional TransitTelecom, Systematics, T2 Mobile, Central Telegraph, etc.

The numbering of DEF codes also changes as needed. Moscow MTS numbers were transferred from 495 to 985, and Megafon numbers - from 495 to 925.

The telephone code used only by Megafon is 920. The number capacity is more than 10 million, and numbers with this code are used in 17 regions of the Russian Federation.

The encoding used by Tele2 is 900. But the same code is used by 16 other Russian operators of different calibers in terms of capacity and regional coverage - Antares, Arkhangelsk Mobile Networks, Ekaterinburg-2000, Kemerovo Mobile Communications, Sky- 1800" and others.

"Tele2" is the largest of the companies that use the prefix 900: "T2 Mobile" - these are 17 regions and 3,140,000 numbers (the region is determined by the digits of the subscriber number), "Tele2-Omsk" - 3 regions (Jewish Autonomous Region, Omsk Region and Chukotka Autonomous Okrug) and 210,000 numbers, Tele2-St. Petersburg - 1 million numbers for 4 regions (Vologda region, Karelia, Pskov region, Leningrad region and St. Petersburg).

Best rates

Ratings of companies providing cellular communication services are compiled not only taking into account the number of subscribers and the scope of the coverage area, but also the list of services provided by the company and the tariffs established for each item or the entire package.

Advertising campaigns of the four leading providers (MTS, Megafon, Tele2, Beeline) are aimed at attracting subscribers, therefore TV commercials vying with each other to prove that the tariffs of one or another company are the most favorable. Telecom operators' tariffs dynamically reflect company strategy, consumer preferences and industry trends. At the same time, archived tariffs are also valid until the subscriber switches to a new price offer.

It’s not difficult to get lost in such variety, but there is no universal tariff plan. It is more convenient and cheaper for subscribers to purchase a range of services - tariff packages that combine, for example, voice communications, SMS and mobile Internet. In addition to the services included in the package, you need to study the limits on them (GB, free minutes, number of SMS) and determine the needs of the subscriber (mobile Internet, calls to home network, roaming, etc.).

I have been following new developments in the field of mobile technologies for many years. Previously, this was my hobby, but now it has grown into a professional blog, where I am happy to share the information I have accumulated with you. All instructions, life hacks, selections best programs and tariff plans I checked personally on myself.

Guests and residents of the capital are probably interested in learning about mobile operators in the region, as well as their codes within Moscow. The necessary information is presented in the article.

Who are they - mobile and area?

Six operators currently provide their services in the capital. Let's see who they are, at the same time presenting the total number of their subscribers for the current year:

  • MTS - 104.1 million subscribers.
  • Beeline - 109.9 million subscribers.
  • Megafon - 72.2 million subscribers.
  • Tele2 - 38.8 million subscribers.
  • Yota - 0.5 million subscribers (information has not been updated since 2015).
  • Teletay - 57.8 thousand subscribers.

We will tell you about each of the Moscow mobile operators in more detail.

MTS is the most expensive brand

PJSC is one of the oldest mobile operators in the Russian Federation and CIS countries. The company was founded in 1993. It provides the following services:

  • cellular;
  • telephone wire connection;
  • mobile, digital, satellite and cable television;
  • home Internet.

In 2010, the trademark of this mobile operator in Moscow and Russia was recognized as the most expensive and valued at 213,198 million rubles. The net annual profit of MTS is about 50 billion rubles per year.

"Beeline" is the most widespread in the world

The next Moscow operator is Beeline, a trademark of VimpelCom PJSC. Its services are as follows:

  • mobile and fixed telephone communications;
  • Internet access, data transmission, including via fiber optics, 4G networks, Wi-Fi;
  • broadband Internet access.

Beeline is not only a mobile operator in Moscow and Russia. The company provides its services in many countries - Italy, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Laos, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, Armenia, Georgia, Algeria, Kyrgyzstan, Bangladesh, etc.

Megafon is the most actively developing

PJSC Megafon presents to its subscribers the entire range of telematics services. It works not only in Moscow, but throughout Russia, as well as in Tajikistan, South Ossetia and Abkhazia. It was Megafon that was the first in the country to provide its subscribers with high-speed Internet - first 3G, and then LTE.

This Moscow mobile operator is also known for actively acquiring shares of other companies in its market - Synterra, Euroset, MegaLabs. Among its subsidiaries are the well-known Iota and the NETBYNET provider.

"Tele2" - the most economical

In Russia, the Swedish company Tele2 loudly announced itself back in 2003. Promising advertising campaigns also attracted attention to it - high quality, excellent service, ease of operation, coupled with unprecedentedly low communication prices. The mobile operator Tele2 appeared in Moscow relatively recently - this was due to the fact that it smoothly integrated with the assets of Rostelecom in 2014. Before this, in 2013, the Swedish corporation Tele2 AB sold its Russian branch to the VTB group of companies.

Today Tele2 provides a wide range of telecommunications services for both private clients and businesses. In addition to Moscow, the operator operates in another 65 regions of Russia.

Yota is the most intriguing

Yota can certainly be considered the most mysterious Russian operator - this is due to the corporation’s advertising campaign. Yota is the world leader in providing and is also the recognized “fourth operator” in Russia according to 2014 data. Today it is not only a mobile operator in Moscow, but a company operating in 81 regions of the country (modem products are currently available only in 76 regions).

Yota is distinguished from the rest of the variety of operators by visible advantages:

  • Communication without roaming throughout the Russian Federation.
  • Prices for all services do not change depending on your movements around Russia.
  • Unlimited free voice communication within the network throughout the Russian Federation.
  • "Transparent" control of your expenses in mobile application operator.
  • Free communication in popular instant messengers abroad, even with a zero balance.
  • Annual unlimited package at maximum speed.

"Teletay" - the most little-known connection

Teletay is another VimpelCom product, a service provider with attractive tariff plans and high quality of services offered. Basically, its TP line is intended for those who want to communicate economically and a lot - in unlimited variations. The company promises an unobtrusive multidisciplinary service, an individual approach to each subscriber, and attractive offers for active users. mobile internet and those who like to chat on a smartphone. There are also special offers for businessmen and customers who frequently travel to the roaming area.

The slight popularity of Teletai is primarily due to the fact that it operates in only two regions - Moscow and the region, as well as in St. Petersburg.

Note that such ownership of telephone codes by a certain operator is typical only for Moscow - in other regions, mobile numbers provided by completely different companies may begin with these numbers. Don't forget also about the new service - moving from one operator to another while maintaining your number.

There is a fairly wide selection of mobile operators in the capital. The subscriber will always be able to choose from among them a company that meets individual needs and provides cheap calls, unlimited tariffs, Internet access at maximum speed, special tariff plans for roaming or advantageous offers for business.

The three main mobile communication companies in the Russian Federation are MTS, Megafon and Beeline. The rest of Russia's mobile operators are not so popular, and even such giants as TELE2, Rostelecom and Yota do not reach the leaders. The coverage of large mobile communication companies covers the entire territory of the Russian Federation. To identify subscribers, telephone numbers are used, and to determine the provider, prefixes of cellular operators are used. One company, especially if it is large, may own several indices. For example, the list for MTS covers a wide range of numbers.

What is a cell phone number

A ten-digit identifier consisting of a provider code and a unique set of numbers is a mobile phone number. In the international format there is also a country index (for Russia +7). Def codes (operator identifiers) consist of three digits; numbering starts from nine. These are non-geographic telephone indexes, thanks to which it is possible to determine the subscriber's communication service provider, but companies no longer have a monopoly on them. You can switch, for example, from MTS to Megafon while maintaining the same set of numbers.

The transfer service is still available to a small number of people, and it is still possible to find out where an unknown person is calling from. For the same reason, number codes of Russian mobile operators remain in demand. Def are not considered classified information and are located in open databases. They encode not only information about the provider, but also about the region in which the number is registered (within a range of regions, and not a specific city or district).

Mobile operator codes

The Federal Communications Agency (Rossvyaz) distributes codes for Russian cellular operators. A table with a list of def identifiers is posted on the official website of the institution and is updated regularly. It is available for download to any Internet user. To make your search easier, you can enter the code into a special form on the website and quickly find information about the corresponding network provider and region.

Russian cellular companies

The leaders of the list are Megafon, MTS and Beeline. Besides them, there are other companies in the TOP. The most popular mobile operators in Russia:

  • Megaphone. A leading company covering all regions of the Russian Federation, as well as the republics of Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Tajikistan. Megafon's subscriber base includes more than 75 million active numbers. This is a leader in providing mobile Internet.
  • MTS. Belongs to the list of leading providers. Provides voice communication services High Quality, cable television, Internet access. Has its own retail network.
  • Beeline. A brand owned by VimpelCom, which is part of a concern that serves more than 235 million subscribers. The company provides a wide selection of tariffs and high-quality coverage.
  • TELE 2. The work of this group of companies is highly appreciated by users. It serves more than 38.9 million subscribers.
  • Iota. It has gained popularity as an innovative company providing voice mobile communication services and high-speed 4G Internet.
  • Rostelecom. Leader in providing cable television and broadband Internet access. Reviews about the quality of the services provided are positive, but many clients criticize the work of technical support.
  • MTT. Large cellular provider. Serves 2 million subscribers.

Russian mobile operator codes

A total of 57 identifiers are currently in use. The structure of the def code is as follows: 9, then one of the digits in the range from 0 to 9. This creates 9 two-digit indices, each of which has a third number, also from 0 to 9. Summary table of all occupied digits (distribution of cell phone numbers Russian operators by region below):

  • 90: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9;
  • 91: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9;
  • 92: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9;
  • 93: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9;

Russian mobile operator codes

02 September 2013

Mobile communications have become so firmly and organically integrated into our lives that it is difficult to imagine your day without a cell phone. There are several operators in each country.
As a rule, these are a number of large companies operating at the federal level and many small, regional ones.
Somewhere there are very few such operators, in developed countries there are about 20-30, and in the USA there are more than 100!

Variety is wonderful. We have the opportunity to choose the company whose quality of service and tariffs are most suitable. But figuring out who owns this or that phone number can sometimes be very difficult. But this is important information. Knowing the operator, we can at least roughly determine how much the call will cost. A simple example: if you call the number of your mobile operator, then the cost will be X, and if you call another operator, then 2X, 3X and so on. It’s not worth talking about the amount that you will have to pay for a conversation with a subscriber of a foreign cellular operator. Obviously it will be very large. Therefore, it is important to know the codes of Russian mobile operators so as not to get into trouble.

DETERMINING THE CODE OF THE MOBILE OPERATOR


The question arises: how to determine which mobile operator a phone number belongs to? There are several ways. The first is to memorize the operator codes of your country. Not the easiest option, you will agree. The second is to look for data on the Internet. Difficulties may also arise here, especially if the operator is foreign. How will you study the operator’s website in Arabic, for example? Therefore, we suggest you use the third method - the operator code base. We have created a section “World Mobile Operator Codes” especially for you. It contains useful and relevant information about codes and tips for deciphering telephone number. From this section you will learn that each mobile operator has its own special code, followed by the actual phone number. This code can consist of three or more digits and is called a prefix (or def code). It is the def code that allows you to determine the cellular operator. When researching a phone number, do not forget that the prefix may have a country code before it. Thus, the telephone number of any mobile operator consists of three parts: Country code + Operator code + Phone number

RUSSIAN MOBILE OPERATORS


In our country, the most popular telephone numbers are the so-called “Big Three”: MegaFon, MTS and Beeline. Thanks to the wide distribution of numbers of these operators, most people without serious problems remember which codes belong to which operator. If difficulties arise, use our hint. So, how to identify a mobile operator code in Russia?

MTS PHONE CODES

910 911 912 913 914 915 916 917 918 919
980 981 982 983 984 985 986 987 988 989

BEELINE PHONE CODES


The cellular operator Beeline owns the following def codes: As a rule, prefixes 903-909 belong to subscribers who have registered for a long time. The new numbers will most likely use the Beeline phone code, which is in the range from 960 to 976.
