After many teams engaged in international business or private domain operations obtain a batch of British mobile phone numbers, their first reaction is often:"Are these numbers from EE? Vodafone? Or Lyca?" I wanted to use the number segment to determine the operator, but after checking around, I found that the results were not uniform. So what is the most accurate way to tell which operator a British mobile phone number belongs to? Let’s clarify this issue today.
Why can't I just rely on the number prefix to determine the operator?
Many people think that you only need to look at the front number for a British numberYou can know the operator by 3 or the first 4 digits, such as:
l073 starts with Three
l074 is EE
l077 is Vodafone
But actually,Britain sinceThe “PAC code” mechanism has been open since 2003., meaning that users do not need to change their mobile phone numbers when changing operators.
for example:
lIt turned out to be EE's number was later transferred to O2. The prefix has not changed, but the ownership has changed.
lVirtual Operator (MVNO) uses the network of a large operator, and there are many overlapping number segments.
Therefore, judging only by prefix can only"preliminary estimate",Not the most accurate method.
