You regularly receive messages asking you to call back, but are afraid that the call will cost you too much, since the number is not familiar to you and the subscriber may be in another region? Or just out of curiosity want to determine the location of the subscriber? This will not be difficult, since all telephones, including mobile ones, have their own geographical location indicated by the telephone code of the city.
You will need
- - a computer or communicator connected to the Internet
- - addresses of help system sites
- - a geographical atlas or the addresses of sites with interactive maps (in case you intend to further clarify the location of the settlement on the map)
Instruction manual
1
Carefully analyze the number displayed on the display of your phone. Please note that first the first 1-3 of the displayed numbers are the country code. (For example, the code of the Russian Federation is the number "7"). The country code is usually preceded by a plus sign or the digits 8-10. The following numbers - this is the phone code of the city. Codes of regional centers consist of 3 digits, and all other settlements - from 5. Of these, the first 3 digits are the area code, and the remaining 2 are the area code. When writing, as a rule, the code of the settlement is enclosed in parentheses. The regional affiliation of a mobile number can be determined by the first 6 digits following the country code.

Rewrite or memorize the code of the city you are looking for.

Go to the help system website page. Find on the page a rectangular window for entering the city code (as a rule, it has the corresponding signature). Enter the code digits there. Be careful when entering. Near the window for entering numbers, find the search button (it will have the corresponding inscription or image of the magnifying glass). Click on this button by clicking the left mouse button. Check out the information received. If necessary, try again using a different number combination.

Find the city on the map (if you want). If you use a paper atlas, then after the name of the city will be indicated the pages of the atlas on which the given locality is indicated, as well as a combination of "letter-number". Open the indicated page and find the numbers and letters on the map fields. Among them, look for the number and letter indicated in the alphabetical index and mentally draw lines through them. The desired city should be indicated on the map at the intersection of these lines. When searching for a city on interactive maps, enter the name of the city in the box provided for this and also click on the search button with the left mouse button.
