not very well
google icstis
it will only tell you where the number originated from
keep in mind people can move their numbers between networks
e.g. my number still shows as being a 3 number even tho ive now moved it onto o2
so if the numbers been ported from somewhere wont be correctYes Your Dukeiness

I've been with o2 for 7 years, and i've had 077, numbers and 078. Not sure if there is a formula as such? I may be wrong though...The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.Bertrand Russell0

http://mnnc.net/All UK mobile phone numbers now start with 07, but how can you find what network a particular number is on? To find out, enter a mobile phone number below and press Find Network. The results that are displayed show the original network that number was registered to. Results for people who have changed network providers but kept their old mobile number will be incorrect.0

I tried with my own number and that page only tells me who the original supplier was - T mobile (or 121 as it was) - I'm with Virgin Mobile now (for 5 years - who use T mobile's network admittedly) and still have my original number 07958 xxxx.
As providers can port numbers between networks (for free these days I think) I would be impossible to say every 07AA prefix is one supplier and 07BB is another.0 -

Just tried my other number 07758 xxx - on Virgin too - and that is showing as T mobile too!0 -
