Codes of mobile operators in Russia

02 September 2013

Mobile communication has so firmly and organically blended into our life that it is 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 - more than 100!

Variety is great. We have the opportunity to choose a company whose quality of service and tariffs are most suitable. It's just that figuring out who owns this or that phone number can be very difficult at times. 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 equal to X, and if from another operator, then 2X, 3X, and so on. About the amount you have to pay for a conversation with a subscriber foreign operator cellular communication, and needless to say. Obviously, it will be very large. Therefore, it is important to know the codes mobile operators Russia, so as not to be trapped.

DETERMINING THE MOBILE OPERATOR CODE

The question arises: how to determine which mobile operator the phone number belongs to? There are several ways. The first is to memorize the codes of the operators of your country. Not the easiest option, you must agree. The second is to search the internet for data. Here, too, difficulties may arise, especially if the operator is foreign. How will you study an operator's website in Arabic, for example? Therefore, we suggest you use the third method - the operator code base. Especially for you, we have created a section "Codes of the world's mobile operators." It contains useful and up-to-date information about codes and tips for decoding 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 identify the mobile operator. When looking at a phone number, keep in mind that there may be a country code in front of the prefix. Thus, the phone number of any mobile operator consists of three parts: Country Code + Operator Code + Phone Number

To understand from which mobile operator you are being called, you can use the search system. We will tell you more about each representative of the cellular market, as well as the codes they use.

The table of the most popular mobile operators in Russia:

Beeline

One of the oldest cellular operators in Russia, has been operating in the country since 1992, previously had a recognizable logo in the form of a bee. After the rebranding, the logo retained the yellow and black horizontal stripes placed in a circle. In addition to mobile services and the Internet, this operator is engaged in the installation of Internet lines in the homes of users. Customers can also get digital television in this way.

Its main advantage over other operators is special rates - they allow you to get several services at once and pay for them from one account. Families most often use such tariff plans. It is convenient for them to use this operator for several reasons: calls within the network are free, payment from a single account, discounts on the Internet and television.

Most of the current tariff plans have the word "All" in the name. The operator offers packages of minutes, SMS messages and Internet traffic for a fixed price. After the expiration of the packages, you will have to pay daily not only the monthly fee, but also money for the minutes spent, SMS or traffic. Most often, SMS messages end up, since in all tariffs the operator offers them up to 300 pieces.

In total, the Beeline telecom operator has reserved 24 codes.

Tele 2

This mobile operator operates not throughout the entire territory of Russia, but only in 65 constituent entities, but in the coming year it may expand to more regions. Towers will appear even in remote corners of our country. This is due to the fact that in 2018 - early 2019 it is planned to close the deal on the merger of two companies Tele 2 and Rostelecom.

The operator has two features - he was the first to start transferring the remaining packages to another month, as well as the ability to use social networks and instant messengers even with a negative balance. He also attracted the attention of subscribers by the fact that it is distinguished by a moderate pricing policy. The most accessible on it are Internet services, which the operator actively promotes. The subscription fee for most tariff plans is charged at a time, which is convenient for many customers - it is enough to replenish the account once to use the services for a whole month.

The most popular tariff is "My Tele 2". It offers a relatively small Internet package, but social networks and instant messengers can be used unlimitedly. It is possible to customize the tariff plan to suit your needs. The cost depends on the region of connection - on average, from 10 rubles per day. Also popular tariffs are "Black", "Very black" and "My conversation". For those who prefer to pay only for the resources actually used, the "Classic" plan is available, without subscription fee... A novelty from this operator is Super Tariff, which offers unlimited Internet.

As of today, 18 codes have been reserved for Tele 2 subscribers. The operator received some of them after the takeover of small regional companies. If the merger with Rostelecom is successful, the list of codes will be supplemented with several more values: 955, 970, 971. The merged company will operate under the Rostelecom brand. In addition to mobile Internet and cellular services, the company will offer standard telephony and will retain its position as a supplier wired internet and digital television.

Megaphone

Megafon has been operating in Russia since 1993. At the time of the peak of the spread of mobile phones, the company enjoyed success only among students, as it allowed money to be transferred from one account to another, and also made it possible to earn bonuses in the form of real account replenishment. Now they chose Megafon for its wide coverage of territories, it was the first to place towers where only regional operators worked. In some remote corners, Megafon appeared first.

Those who often travel to neighboring countries like this operator for its coverage area. He works on the territory of South Ossetia, Tajikistan and Abkhazia. At the same time, there are special fares for travelers that allow you to save on travel. The most interesting is the "Turn on" tariff line. Among them, each client can find a suitable option for himself:

"Chat" - for fans of the most popular social networks and messengers, their use is not limited to the amount of packet traffic;

“Watch” - for watching videos over the Internet: up to 20 GB via the Youtube service, unlimited access to the application for watching TV and 50 channels, 15 GB for using the mobile Internet for other purposes;

"Listen" - for music lovers with unlimited access to music applications and messengers, up to 10 GB is given for using other Internet capabilities.

Following other major operators, Megafon offered other package tariffs with a major focus on Internet traffic. The disadvantage is that often traffic is counted not by page loads, but by time spent on the network.

It is believed that this operator launched a subsidiary company Yota, which initially supplied subscribers only with services mobile internet... This statement appeared due to the fact that Yota partially uses the power of Megafon towers, and the codes of some numbers of both operators coincide.

Megafon subscribers use one of 25 codes. Please note that some codes for subscribers of different operators are the same. This is due to the fact that initially it was not assumed that cellular communication would become so popular and subscribers were given numbers with codes from the top ten. Then a user identification system appeared and the codes became more diverse. Now you can determine which operator the number belongs to using special services. Their algorithms consider the subscriber ID comprehensively.

MTS

Another company that appeared in 1993 was Mobile Tele Systems. This is how the abbreviation MTS stands. This operator was the first to become available to a wide range of subscribers - he conquered them tariff plan Jeans. Also, this operator was the first to spend money on advertising, which overtook subscribers everywhere - even in box-office Russian films: "Tariff New Year", "Night Watch" and others.

The coverage area of \u200b\u200bthis Russian operator extends far beyond the country. His sim cards will be valid on the territory of most neighboring countries. Now a bank is also open on the basis of the operator, as well as outlets selling accessories and smartphones. The peculiarity of such stores is that they were the first to enter into contracts with equipment manufacturers, allowing them to produce branded products. The latest innovation of the company was the launch of satellite television at below market prices.

Among the MTS tariffs there are a lot of offers for subscribers with different needs. For modems, the most popular is "MTS Connect-4", which is a tariff-designer. With the help of various services, it is converted into a tariff that covers the user's traffic needs. No less convenient is the tariff for tablets "MTS Tablet". It can also be used for voice communication.

The most popular offer for mobile phones is "Unlimited", which became famous for its unusual advertising and a good offer for subscribers - all types of communication on it had practically no restrictions. In 2018, Tarifische competed with this plan. He is no less attractive. But this operator has a significant drawback - the terms of service are often changed without notifying the client. Also, disputes with customers about charges often arise, which are usually resolved in favor of the company.

If you choose this operator, you will receive a sim card with one of 25 initial codes. The distribution of numbers occurs by regions of presence.

A few years ago, it was difficult not only to remember the operator code, but in general its name. It was popular to create not new tariffs, but a separate type of offers that had their own subscription plans. So over time appeared:

• Ace & Base, Djuice, Mobilich, Beeline;
• Jeans, SIM-SIM, MTS;
• Life :), Moby and others.

All of these operators were regarded as separate offers for certain segments of the population. However, the population would prefer something of the same quality.

And now, many people want to unite and use only one code of mobile operators in Ukraine, which, in principle, is impossible due to various financial and other issues. This worries almost everyone through a large number of operator codes, which are difficult for some to remember, as a result of which significant amounts of money are lost from the account when making calls. However, it is enough to just learn or just print a plate where all the codes of Ukrainian mobile operators will be placed. Maanimo editors will be happy to provide it to you in this article, and you will know who is calling.

Brief information about the operators of Ukraine

Before figuring out which codes of mobile operators exist in Ukraine in 2020, you must first familiarize yourself with the information about the companies that provide communication services to the population.

One of the first mobile operators in Ukraine was UMC, which has undergone several major changes over the years. So the company twice re-branded the network, after which it was called MTS, and the current name is Vodafone. For all the time of work, subscribers are characterized as an excellent operator with good conditions and quality of communication.

The next company that launched its brand was Kyivstar - a national operator covering a large number of cities and towns thanks to constant development mobile networks... This brand is actively involved in many investment projects, improving and developing its network for quality use.

There are also admirers of communications from Intertelecom and Ukrtelecom, but they are preferred by an insignificant part of subscribers. In total, Kyivstar is used most of all - about 42%, Vodafone - about 40%, Lifecell - up to 10%, and the remaining 8% falls on other operators.

Codes of mobile operators in Ukraine

In general, the codes of cellular operators are a special identifier consisting of three digits, which refers to a specific network and company providing communication services for the population. Overall, the code and number provide excellent protection against unnecessary calls, except for confusion with some of the first digits. That is why it is worth knowing and remembering all the codes in order to avoid confusion and loss of money.

All codes of the operators of Ukraine are more or less easy to remember, given the fact that now there are only three main ones, to which the other remaining sets of numbers were assigned. Separately, you can recall that the operator code 068 was transferred from the Beeline company, which finished its work and entered Kyivstar.

Therefore it is best to split the codes telephone operators into four categories:

1. Kyivstar;
2. Vodafone;
3. Lifecell;
4. other codes of Ukrainian operators.

Vodafone operator codes

Without exception, all Vodafone operator codes (MTS Ukraine) remained the same, as did the owner. The changed name Vodafone, represents the well-known European operator, using the ideas and the entire organization of the work of this company. Tariffs have been slightly updated, but as practice shows, for the better and with better communication coverage.

At the moment there are only a few operator codes, but with an increase in the number of subscribers, the company may think about another one. Therefore, now it is worth remembering the following:

1. 050 - is considered one of the very first codes of mobile operators in Ukraine, received at the beginning of cellular communication in the country by the then UMC brand. After the rebranding, it became the main code of the MTS operator, and now Vodafone;
2. 066 is the operator code that began to be used in Jeans numbers. The creation of this operator was aimed mainly at young people, with appropriate tariffs and services. Now, operator code 066 is practically not used in new packages, with the exception of Vip numbers;
3. 095 - was introduced after the first two and is now quite popular. Previously, the operator code 095 was intended for UMC and Jeans, and the first one began with a number from all digits except 7 and 9, left to the second. According to statistics, 095 is the most used company code;
4. operator code 099 is universal and was planned to be used for all brands that previously represented the UMC group. Since 099 is a rather young operator code, it is actively used in new connections and when switching from old ones.

According to experts, Vodafone now has more than 15 million subscribers, which is an excellent result and demonstration of quality service and coverage.

Operator codes Kyivstar

Kyivstar is a very popular company and, probably, everyone knows the codes that relate to it.

The only unknown can be called only 039 - presented for the Golden Telecom brand, which did not exist for a long time. The main codes of the operator Kyivstar are as follows:

1. 067 is one of the very first codes of mobile operators in Ukraine, it is also considered to be in the forefront in terms of the number of subscribers. Today, it is used mainly to connect new users, concluding an agreement on a contract basis;
2. operator code 068 - the former Beeline operator code, however, without the possibility of new connections. At least for now;
3. 096 - operator code Kyivstar, which was previously used for Djuice subscribers;
4. 097 is the operator code with which the Djuice brand began its work. The code is popular now, and is often found in new starter packages;
5. 098 is the operator's code, which is also very popular and has a large number of subscribers.

There are more than 16 million Kyivstar subscribers in total.

Lifecell operator codes

The Lifecell brand was created by the Turkish operator Turkcell, which was previously involved in another name Life :). At the moment, the number of subscribers is about 6-7 million people, most of whom are young people. All this is explained by the convenient and favorable ratesaimed at using high-speed internet.

Such an operator is, of course, an excellent option for large cities, and the codes are used as follows:

1. 063 - the first operator code Life. It was with him that the history of the brand began, and the start surpassed all expectations. Operator code 063 is still popular;
2. operator code 093 is used with great success and is available for sale even now.
3. 073 is new code and looks very nice. Initially, the company planned to acquire the 077, but the proprietary use of the troika in the end exceeded many desires, as well as to avoid operator confusion.

Codes of other mobile operators

Taking advantage of all the positive aspects: bonuses, promotions, great offers and tariffs, people choose not only the popular Kyivstar, Lifecell, Vodafone, but also often prefer other unknown operators. Codes of mobile operators, which will always cause certain questions or outrage. All this is solely due to the best offers, albeit related to certain services: Internet, 3G Internet or various calls. Therefore, there are also such codes of mobile operators:

• operator code 091 - belongs to the Trimob operator from Ukrtelecom and is directed to use high-quality 3G Internet;
• 092 is PeopleNet, which is also used primarily for the internet;
• operator code 094 - belongs to Intertelecom, which has long been trying to create competition for the three main Ukrainian operators, but has so far been unsuccessful. 094 operator code is new and practically unknown at the moment;
• 070, 080, 090 - such codes of Ukrainian operators have not yet been assigned to some separate provider, but may soon become someone's for a tidy sum of money. So far, only he can be used by fraudsters for various shenanigans.

Also, an excellent trick for many can be the operator code 056, which, as many will think, does not refer to the new operator codes, but in fact to the city of Dnipro.

056 is the operator's code of “special problems”, as the people call it, because scammers can call it very often, even at night, drop the call, and large sums of money will be withdrawn when trying to call back. Attackers can also post a number with such a code on a job classifieds website, and when you call it, you will be charged a considerable amount.

The operator code 057, which is used to implement a robot promoting various products, also has a bad reputation. Many victims with sales are found on olx.ua, where the trading platform is not limited and has a free basis without special protection. The code is basic for the city of Kharkov.

Stationary codes can be distinguished as a separate group of codes of mobile operators:

• Vinnytsia - 043;
• Dnipro - 056;
• Donetsk - 062;
• Zhytomyr - 041;
• Zaporizhzhia - 061;
• Ivano-Frankivsk - 034;

Some features of the services of Ukrainian operators

An excellent service, which is also inexpensive, and in some cases even free, is the anti-identifier. It allows you to hide the mobile operator code and number from other subscribers of different operators. Very useful for those involved in sales, but many people prefer not to pick up the phone from such unknown numbers. Vodafone recently started providing new service - "Super caller ID", which will be able to determine the codes of mobile operators and numbers, without exception, even with all the secrecy.

But the most popular service in Ukraine is “Who called?”. It is in great demand, because it allows subscribers to find out about missed calls at a time when the battery in the phone runs out or there is no coverage of the network coverage. This is very convenient, and some operators provide options for SMS replies, for different situations or time of day. But the only thing that unites all companies providing the service "Who called?" - its absolute free of charge.

How to find out who called, maybe a person with the coolest smartphone, and a grandmother with a push-button device, because all information comes through an SMS message, after which you can call the desired subscriber. However, for those who use anti-caller IDs, problems may arise, their number will not be indicated in the message, limited only by the call time and date.

Codes of mobile operators in the world are more varied and the number of license plates, and, as a rule, are rarely remembered by foreigners. They prefer to keep phone books or use the phone memory. Their codes of mobile operators are so confused that the employees of the companies themselves do not always remember what and where.

Conclusion

There is only one conclusion to complete - in Ukraine in 2020 there are three stable companies that provide excellent services and have good network coverage. Codes of mobile operators are simple, they can be easily remembered, or you can simply use the table from this article, which can help you understand who is who.
