✅ In this article we will figure out how to find out the owner by phone number absolutely legally and free of charge. You can get a phone number and find out who it belongs to in many legal ways, and you don’t have to resort to the help of mobile operator employees or bank employees. Such methods will be discussed in this article.
In many countries, tapping a stranger's cell phone number is illegal and can lead to administrative or criminal liability, although in practice it is quite difficult to prove guilt unless caught red-handed.
Is it really possible to find out who owns a mobile number?
As is known, the legislation of the Russian Federation, by the letter of Law No. 304-FZ of November 2, 2013, obliges Russian mobile operators to enter into agreements for the sale of SIM cards, and to enter the passport data of subscribers into such agreements. Anonymous street sale of SIM cards is prohibited. Now, behind every Russian mobile number there is a very real person, whose passport details and place of registration can be determined if necessary.
This information is not provided to everyone, but only to specialized authorities (police, FSB, court, and so on).
These legislative norms do not prevent enterprising citizens from circumventing these prohibitions and purchasing SIM cards from their own hands, or issuing them to some marginalized people. Nevertheless, behind each number in Russia there is a completely identified person, and this is what distinguishes Russian mobile numbers, for example, from Ukrainian ones.
If you are wondering who is the owner of a particular phone, then the Internet provides you with a fairly wide field for identifying the owner of the number. This can even be done for free and without registration. Let us describe each of these methods in detail.

What operators know about subscribers
The contract must include basic information: full name, registration address, series and number of the passport, as well as when and by whom the document was issued. But if the SIM card was purchased secondhand from the metro or at a train station, then, of course, the subscriber data will be fake. You yourself understand how prohibitions work.
In addition, operators have data on calls made and SMS sent. They don’t record calls (for now - keep in mind the “Yarovaya package”), but they save the contents of SMS. They also have information about the dates and amounts of balance replenishments, the current account balance, and the IMEI of the device.
Is location tracked? Yes, and not only when you call. Coordinates are recorded at the moment of entering and leaving the network, moving between cells. Technically, the operator has the ability to manually request coordinates and record the entire track.
So how to break through a mobile phone?
How to find the owner of a phone for free through search engines
Using popular search engines such as Google, Yandex, Bing and others. The simplest and most effective way to determine the owner of a phone number without registration is free. If the number that called you is listed somewhere on the Internet (for example, it belongs to a public company), then you are likely to find it through search engines.
When entering a number into the search bar, experiment with the format of the number. Use different variations both with and without the country and operator code, start with +,7,8 and so on.
Eg:
+7 (9xx) xxx-xx-xx 79xx-xxxxxxx 89xx-xxxxxxx
It is likely that you will only find one of the tested options.
So there are plenty of options
In fact, the only question is whether the game is worth the candle. And without a phone number you can find enough information about many people.
We have listed the legal methods. Try it and see - it's free and safe.
