checking network of phonebook

bnev

hey,

Does anyone know if there is a way to find out which network the numbers in your phonebook are registered to? Without actually calling everyone and asking!

why do you want to know? is it for meteor free texts or something?

bnev

yeah I have free vodafone texts and want to know whos on the network?!?

one way of doing it is to call the number from a landline. if the person is not on the normal network for their number (eg 087 on o2) you'll hear a beep. then you can hang up before the call connects.

the only other way i can think of for vodafone is the next time you text a number, check your credit before and after and see if you were charged

when you call a 087 number which has been ported to another number you should hear a short beep at start of the call to let you know it is off its original network. or to check if any number is a meteor number just text the number to 50004

i think that only works if you're also on meteor.
