Hi

Is it possible to find out what network someone's mobile number is on? e.g. is a there a website where i can type the number in and it will tell me what network its on.


Thanks in advance

You can find what network it started on ,but it wont tell you if its been ported.Nor will it tell you if its a virtual mobile network no like EasyM,it just tell you network of origin.EG T-Mob in that case.

There are a few other sites but they all display the same information - the network that number first belonged to.

The simple reason is that basically no central record is kept of a mobile or landline number if a person ports their number to another network.

Not even BT are aware which network a mobile number may now belong to after its been ported which is why they charge for calls to mobiles as if they're made to the original network.

A slightly more indepth reason for this lack of information is explained in this thread and specifically my post here.
