Can I Find Out Data By Phone Number

How can I find out the name and surname of the owner by cell phone number and is it possible to do this at all?

Theoretically, such an opportunity is provided by the operator himself, moreover, now there are a lot of services that own databases of numbers.

Note! Before starting the description of all the methods, it should be noted that the procedure for searching for a person by number in each country may differ. For example, Belarus can also purchase a sim card only by passport, and this greatly simplifies the search for a person. In Ukraine, subscribers are not required to present a passport to purchase a pre-paid communication package.

Can I Find Out Data By Phone Number

However, each person can apply to law enforcement agencies and demand to “break through” the number.

You need to prove that there is an important circumstance (threats, fraud, other criminal and administrative offenses), because of which you need to identify the owner of the cell phone.

Law enforcement agencies must make a request to the telecom operator, as a result of which you will be provided with the following information:

  • Name of the owner of the number;
  • home address (last officially registered in the country);
  • Date of Birth.

The request can be processed within a month, and organizing it is quite difficult.

If you need to quickly determine the owner of the number, it is better to use the methods that are available online.

To “punch” a number through VK, follow these steps:

  • Go to the site and log out of your account.
  • Now click on the authorization key. Select the Forgot Password? Field.
  • Next, the page for resuming access to the account will appear, on which the text box for entering the phone will be located. Copy the desired number into the form and click OK.
