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.

Russian mobile operator codes

02 September 2013

Mobile communications have integrated so firmly and organically into our lives that it is already difficult to imagine your day without 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 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. About the amount you will have to pay for a conversation with a subscriber foreign operator cellular communications, and it’s not worth mentioning. 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 actual information about codes and tips for deciphering a phone 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


The most popular in our country are phone numbers the so-called “Big Three”: MegaFon, MTS and Beeline.

Your Nokia can be blocked by 4 types of locks:
SPROVIDER-LOCK - 1
NETWORK-LOCK - 2
COUNTRY-LOCK - 3
SIMCARD-LOCK - 4

To check the status of these locks, enter the following line:
#pw+(MASTERCODE)+(y)#, where
- p = press * 3 times
- w = press * 4 times (in the original, on the contrary, w - 3 times, p - 4)
- + = press * 2 times
- MASTERCODE = exactly the thing that was used to lock your device. But to check the status, enter 1234567890
- y = number from 1 to 4

If your phone is locked by an SP (Service Provider) code that is unknown, then try the following:

1. The Pin code request must be enabled;
2. turn on the phone;
3. When asked for a Pin code, press C, then the up or down arrow;
4. press C and hold until the display clears;
5. Now enter the command to change the Pin code, but without changing it;
**04*Pin*Pin*Pin#
This operation must be repeated every time the device is turned on.

Half Rate Codec:
Inclusion:
*4720# - Half Rate will be activated after the phone is overloaded (power consumption is reduced)
Shutdown:
#4720# - Half Rate will be turned off after the phone is overloaded
Enhanced Full Rate mode allows you to get much better sound quality with the same number of bits of transmitted information, but it loads your provider’s network more, and the call time is reduced by about 5%

Half Rate mode degrades sound quality, but unloads the network and allows the provider to pass more calls through it, while the call time increases by about 30%

DEF codes

Very often someone called you from a mobile phone and the number remained on your phone ID.
In this case, you need to determine where the caller is from using the mobile phone number or code.

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 region).

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 high quality voice communication services, cable television, and 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;
  • 94: 1;
