Search on social networks by mobile number. How to find a person by phone number - all possible ways. In the mobile application via contact synchronization

There are many situations in life when you need to contact one user or another. But even if you have a telephone, it is not always convenient to bother your friends directly or by sending them messages - ordinary correspondence on VKontakte or Odnoklassniki seems much more acceptable. In this regard, the question naturally arises - how to find a person by phone number on social networks, especially when he does not answer calls.

Before looking for a specific user, it would be good to know for sure that he is registered on any social resource. If such information is missing, then the positive result of the search is doubtful. Despite the fact that in our time it is difficult to imagine that someone does not communicate via the Internet, this also happens.

In general, the personal profile data of any person is confidential information, which, a priori, should not be disclosed. However, there are urgent, force majeure circumstances when you have to look for workarounds, and indeed they exist.

Before searching for people by phone number on social networks, you can use the Google service - to do this, you can enter the mobile device number in different variations into the search bar: with an area code, with a hyphen, using brackets and spaces. Many people leave their contact details and personal information on communication platforms, so there is still a chance to find a user.

Next to the phone, you can also indicate the expected network in which your friend’s account may be located. Most often, in this way they find their friends registered on VKontakte, since this is the most popular and well-known resource to everyone.

Also, there are specialized sites that are designed to detect similar digital combinations. The search occurs automatically, since the system is initially programmed to do this. As a rule, the result arrives almost instantly. For example, Mobile Monitoring - this service is designed to track phones. It supports any operators, can provide call recordings, determines the location of the mobile phone and the subscriber's routes, and is capable of intercepting messages.

How to find a person on VKontakte by phone number

There are three main ways to find a person on VKontakte by phone number. You need to try all the options and perhaps one of them will help in your search:

The first method involves logging into your VK profile. After this, the number must be entered into the search bar, checking the “News” item and pressing enter. A search for values will begin in various posts and comments, but if the account owner did not “shine” anywhere, the result will be zero. In addition, the system can also give incorrect answers, so it does not adhere to strict entry.
The second option is suitable for those who have the official VK application installed on their smartphone. You must act in the following order:

record and save the phone number of a wanted friend;
activate the VK application;
after authorization, go to the settings section and select “Account”;
by going to the “Other” section, you need to select the contact synchronization item;
after that you need to open the “My friends” tab and use the plus sign to add a friend;
the device will offer different options, but you only need to indicate the contacts;
the action must be confirmed.

If everything goes well, after some time, a notification about the wanted user will be sent to the address linked to the profile.

In order to find out how to find a person by phone number on social networks, you can use one more method, although it is only suitable for VK. In this case, you don’t even need to go to your page. When you are logged into your account, you should log out of it and move to the version for mobile devices by clicking on the button at the bottom of the site:

first of all, you need to click on the “Forgot your password” item;
then, at the prompt of the system, enter your email address, login and digital combination of the number;
A page will open with the page’s avatar - you should copy the image URL and paste the address into the search.

How to find a person by phone number in Odnoklassniki

In order to find a person by phone number on the Odnoklassniki social network, you need to log out of your profile. And then you need to take the following steps:

Other methods of searching for a person by phone number

If contact with a specific user is necessary, of course, you can resort to the services of specialists who deal with this matter professionally. But it is worth remembering that seeking such help via the Internet always poses a certain risk. You can run into unscrupulous workers and even scammers who, having received their fee, will simply disappear.

An alternative could be a database of mobile operators, as well as special applications and programs that are designed to find such information on social resources by mobile phone number. In some cases, the search is also carried out using photos posted on Odnoklassniki, VK and other websites.

Knowing how to find a person by phone number on social networks, you should not immediately use paid software or seek qualified help; it may turn out that simple techniques and accessible applications that do not require paid services will help solve this problem.

Today, most people around the world use mobile telephony due to its widespread availability and convenience. No less of them use social networks, thanks to which everyone can search for any person registered there.

By opening up the convenience of communication, the social network also allows you to quickly find people if there is no complete information about them or they are hidden. Having only a personal mobile phone number or some combination of mobile phone numbers in hand, you can find an account and get in touch. This will be much more convenient than sorting through numbers, calling or writing SMS. Read about how to find a person by phone number on social networks in this article.

A way to find a person by mobile number on VKontakte that has stopped working

The registration process on VK.COM takes place through a mobile phone, which previously provided access to a simple way to search for people. Today it stopped working as additional checks were introduced.

First, go to the VK.COM website, log out of your account and click on the link below to go to the mobile version of the site:

Let's say we know a certain number 89225763248 - enter it. If a user with such a mobile phone is registered, the system will allow you to proceed to the next step. This step is to verify the last name specified in the profile. If you know, in addition to the number, the last name, then you can find the account. Without specifying the last name, it is impossible to find a profile in this way - this is the security innovation that blocks access to a simple way to find a person by phone number:

But do not despair, as there are other methods of obtaining the necessary information.

Search news and posts on VK.com

It happens that VKontakte users leave their profile public - accessible for internal and external searches, and also indicate a personal mobile phone number. The probability of such an outcome is small, but it should be used.

To check this: log into your personal account, go to the profile page and indicate your existing phone number in the search bar:

As a result, we receive a list of news, records and publications that are in one way or another related to the desired numbers. Let's say, after looking through all the information found, we managed to find the necessary information - we rejoice!

If the necessary information is not available (as in our case), we move on to another method of searching for a person.

We are looking for people through synchronization of device contacts and VK.com

To use this method, you need to follow a few simple steps. However, to perform them, you must first install the VK.com application on your mobile device and log into your account.

To find people through contact synchronization, you need to first create these contacts on your device. To do this, dial the number (89225763248 - our test one), save it in the device’s phone book:

Then launch the application, go to the “Settings” - “Account” section:

And let's go to synchronize contacts:

In the window that appears, select “Contacts only” instead of “Do not sync”:

p.s. After a while, a notification was received by email that among the imported contacts it was possible to find a person with the required mobile phone number:

When your page is linked to a mobile phone number, you can always restore access if you forget your password or if your page is hacked. This happens to people often. Therefore, it is necessary to indicate your phone number. In addition, your number is your login (username for logging into the site).

Is it possible to link two pages or several pages to one number in Odnoklassniki?

Many people are interested in this - can there be two pages in Odnoklassniki on one number? No, you cannot register two pages for one number. If you try to link a page to a number that is already linked to another page, nothing will work. But even if you delete the old page, three months must pass before you can register a new page for this number (or link it to the page).

How to access the old page if it was linked to the same number?

Two pages cannot be linked to the same number at the same time. Someone will say: “But no, I’m tied!” - such a person is wrong. He may have created a second page for the same phone number, but he still doesn’t know that the first page has become disconnected from him, and he can’t restore access to it later. Or maybe one page has already been deleted, maybe the number has been changed - whatever it is, the rule is simple: one number - one page.

How to restore a page in Odnoklassniki by phone number?

If you had a mobile phone number on your page, it’s easy to restore the page:

Click on the link "Forgot your password" on the main page of Odnoklassniki or here.
Click the button "Telephone" and enter your phone number.
If the page was linked to this number, you will be sent a recovery code via SMS.
Enter this code in special field(the code may not come immediately, you will have to wait a few minutes).
Ask New Password your page.

If it doesn’t work, other ways to restore the page are here:

And if you can’t log into the site for some other reason, look here:

How to change your phone number?

To change your phone number in Odnoklassniki, you need to:

Open your page.
Click under your main photo "Change settings."
In the "Basic" settings find "Phone number" hover over it and click "Change".
A window will open, click there "Change number."
They will ask for a phone number - enter new number.
Click "Send"- an SMS will be sent to your phone with a code that indicate for confirmation new number. That's it.

The phone number has changed (I forgot the number, lost it, the old one is no longer there), and when entering Odnoklassniki the code is sent to the old one. What to do, where to change the phone number?

Take your time, think: if you could change your phone number without having access to the page, then any stranger could do it. Then what would be the point of a phone number, a password, if anyone could break into your page? First you will have to restore access to Odnoklassniki and somehow prove that you are exactly you. There are different ways in this link; you can choose the one that is more understandable to you.

If the SIM card is lost (or the phone along with the SIM card is lost) and not too much time has passed, we advise you to contact your mobile operator to restore this number. Then you can - this is the easiest and fastest option.

Remember: whenever you are going to change your phone number, you need to remember which accounts you have linked to the old number, and promptly change this number in the settings - in particular, in Odnoklassniki. It is better to do this when you have access to both numbers - both the old and the new.

How to log into Odnoklassniki without a number?

If you have lost your password and are trying to recover it, you should be sent a code that you need to enter to regain access. I'll have to get my phone out!

If you want to view the Odnoklassniki website without logging in under your name and without registering, then there is nothing you can do about it - these are the rules, you need to register. More details are provided here:

If you really don’t want to use your main number for registration, buy a cheap SIM card and register using it.

Hello, dear readers of the blog site. Let me make a reservation right away that the methods below for searching for people via the Internet (through social networks, search engines, special sites with databases, etc.) do not guarantee that you will definitely find them - they only give a chance. However, due to the fact that in this way it will be possible to find a person free completely unprepared person, suggests that it’s worth trying to use these recommendations - and maybe you’ll get lucky...

In general, it all depends on how important it really is for you to find someone. If you suddenly remembered a friend from school and you had a fleeting desire to spend some time searching for him via the Internet, then the tools below will help you with this desire. Moreover, if you don’t find it, you won’t be very upset if even at the search stage you don’t change your mind to continue.

In the case when Finding the right person is very, very important to you, then at the same time as carrying out investigative activities online on your own, I advise you to contact specialized government services that have complete information on the population of our huge country (a population census is conducted and periodically updated).

Another thing is that, unlike Soviet times, personal information is now protected and simply getting the address of the right person at the address bureau will not work, but this does not mean that this is not possible at all. Perhaps, just below, I will provide the addresses and telephone numbers of government agencies where you should contact, and I will also describe a brief procedure for processing your application there to find the person you need (by first and last name, date of birth and similar information). Actually, let's look at everything in order (I wish you luck in advance, because you will need it).

Search for people on VKontakte (you can search on VK without registration)

If you don’t have time to bother searching for the person you need through the official authorities mentioned above (there is no such urgent need) or you are sure that the opponent you are looking for will not give permission to provide information about him, then you can always try independently search for it via the Internet.

This is especially true when searching for young and middle-aged people who, with a high degree of probability, can appear somewhere on the global network (register under your real last name and first name, indicate a real mobile phone number, Email, car number and the like, for which it will be possible to hook them and pull them out into the light).

The highest probability of finding a person by first and last name, by telephone number (mobile or landline), by Email address and other similar things is, of course, provided in (the number of users registered in it is approaching the number of residents of Russia). You can read the details on registration and communication in it in the article at the link provided (you may need these skills if the search is successful and you need to make contact with the desired opponent).

To search for people in Contact, there is a separate tool (the “People” tab from the top menu). But before I start, I still, because if the search is successful, you will want to quickly contact the person you found, and this can only be done after authorization in the service. Himself, so it's up to you to decide.

If you still decide not to register on VKontakte, then just go to the page "people search" and enter the first and last name of the subject you are looking for.

If you are already registered, then you will be taken to the same search tab for living subjects by clicking on the “People” top menu item. This does not change the essence - the tab will open the same, whether with registration or without it.

Please note that in the above screenshot, the query for my last name and first name returned only two results, which is great, because you won’t have to look through thousands of profiles or try to filter them. But this will not always be the case. For example, Contact was found by as many as one hundred thousand people using this name:

Here You can’t do without additional conditions and filters, otherwise it will be possible to spend years studying all the profiles (and in vain, because among these Ivanovs there are not so many real people with such a surname, because “Ivan Ivanov” is something like a universal pseudonym Smith, which is constantly used in bourgeois films).

To narrow the search for the person you need in Contact, it will be enough to use the tools concentrated in the right column. For example, by indicating the country and city of residence, we will significantly reduce the circle of suspects. True, you should do this consciously, because if you make a mistake, you can filter out the very person you were looking for and ultimately not find it. For some types of surnames, it makes sense to explicitly indicate gender.

When searching for classmates and fellow students, you can respectively indicate the school and university where they studied (indicating the class, faculty, year of graduation). This will again weed out unnecessary people from the list, provided that the person you are looking for indicated this information in their profile and did it correctly (did not make a mistake or did not intentionally distort it).

If you have information about the age of the person you are looking for (and it’s absolutely great if you know his birthday), then don’t use this either (the date of birth can be specified in the drop-down menu of the lowest “Advanced” filter) to narrow the search circle on VKontakte. Just in case, you can indicate the age in the range so as not to miss.

If nothing is found this way, you can try search for people on the VKontakte website using Yandex or Google(read about that, and even smarter ones). To do this, it will be enough to enter the following request in their address bar:

Site:vk.com First Name Last Name

True, this method will only work for those user profiles that have not blocked their data from being indexed by search engines in the VK settings. By default, everything is open, but especially suspicious people can close this information to search engines - you won’t find them this way (only directly from the VKontakte website).

If possible, increase the likelihood of a successful search by including in the circle of wanted known to you acquaintances and relatives of this person. One of them may appear online and you, by pulling this thread, will unravel the whole tangle. By the way, fill out your VKontakte page, because some people do not respond to messages from those whose page is empty (they don’t want to waste their time on empty chores).

Also note that there are also abandoned VK pages, so the mere fact of finding the desired subject does not mean that you will be able to successfully contact him. Please note that at the top of the personal page on VKontakte it is written when its owner last appeared here.

How to find a person by photo on VKontakte

How to do this? You can, of course, use it by selecting the VK profile of the person you are looking for on the results page. But for this, the photo that is being searched must be added to the person’s profile, which is unlikely. However, there is another, more productive method.

You just can leave a search request in the VK thematic group, focused on finding people in a specific city or region. To do this, use the corresponding item in the left menu to go to “Groups”, as a result of which on the page that opens you will see a line at the top where you can search for communities on the VKontakte social network. You can type something like “I’m looking for you in Moscow” into this line and look at the result:

Go to the most popular communities and click on the button "Suggest news":

Then fill out an application to find the person you need on VK (with a photo attached) and click on the “Suggest news” button. After the group moderators approve your news for publication, you will see it on the main page of this group, as well as many thousands of people who have subscribed to the news of this community.

All this significantly increases the likelihood of successfully tracing people through VKontakte, even if you don’t know their first or last name, but only have a photo. Surely, in the comments to your application, someone will write a guess about who may be depicted in the photo (it all depends on the ratio of the number of subscribers the group has and the dense population of the region to which this group of people belongs). A similar group can be found for almost any city in the CIS countries, because VK is very unusually popular among the Russian-speaking audience.

How to find a person by last name and first name on the Internet?

As you already understand, the Internet is well suited for searching for information, including people. Another thing is that there is no such unambiguous place (site) where you are 100% likely to find your counterpart. Everything is somewhat blurry, so in order to increase the likelihood of success, you will have to visit many resources suitable for this purpose and try your luck there.

One of the nice things is that no one online will ask you why you are looking for this particular person? Even if your intentions are not too pure, this will not affect the final result at all. And besides this for free, and the process itself can be considered as a certain kind of entertainment (like solving a charade or a rebus).

But the last name and first name alone may not be enough (especially if they are extremely common). It would be advisable to have at least approximate information about your date of birth, place of residence, place of study, etc., because this will significantly narrow the scope of your search and save you from routinely reviewing all the answers to your request (and they can sometimes count into the thousands).

If you can’t find a specific person (not everyone indicates their real first and last name in social network profiles), then try look for some of his friends or relatives, which then may well lead you to it. It is quite possible that one of them appeared online under their real names, indicated a real address or telephone number.

When the phone number is known, you can try to find the person or his relatives using special regional databases, which are abundantly presented on the Internet both in the form of sites and in the form of files for downloading (there is also the option of purchasing them at some malls or markets) . You can also perform a reverse search on similar databases, i.e. enter the first name, last name, place of residence and date of birth, receiving as a reward the phone number of this person so that you can contact him.

Let me just bring list of specialized sites and services, which may well help you by name and surname to try to find the people you need:

Yandex People— search through popular social networks. On the one hand, this is convenient, because you don’t need to search in each network separately, but on the other hand, many users in the settings close their profiles on social networks for indexing by search engines and Yandex will not be able to add such profiles to its database, which means they there won't be any.
But it’s quite possible to start with this service, because if you find the right person by name here, you’ll save a lot of time. Well, if you don’t find it, then you’ll have to go directly to Vkontakte, Facebook, Odnoklassniki and other networks.
poisk.vid.ru - official website of the TV program “Wait for Me.” Here you can either submit a search request yourself for free, or view existing requests in case this person is also looking for you.
www.odnoklassniki.ru and www.mates.ru/ - if you need to find a person and you know his last name, first name, patronymic, as well as the place and time of study, then these social networks can be successfully used for this purpose, because, in essence, this catalogs of school and university graduates for several decades.
centrpoisk.ru is a paid site for finding people, allegedly using the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You can enter almost any installation data: first and last name, telephone number, car number, etc. It’s really difficult to say how things stand, because I haven’t tried to submit applications. If you have used the services of CenterPoisk, then write about the results in the comments to this article - it will be useful for everyone.
poisk365.ru is another paid site for searching people by last name and first name. Again, you will have to form an opinion about him yourself if you decide to use his services.
vk.com , facebook.com, my.mail.ru, vkrugudruzei.ru and other social networks. networks - in each of them you can try to search for people by entering known full name data (there is a separate article about it, which I strongly advise you to read). Another question is that the user can use his first and last name, trying not to show too much (which is quite consistent with the current situation).
is a very popular messenger in our country, which is used by everyone, young and old. This means we can try to use it for our own purposes - try to find through it a person by his first and last name (if he did not modify them when registering and filling out his profile). The search field is located in the upper right corner of the Skype program window:
Just enter your first and last name, and if there are too many results, then also your city of residence. To see more detailed information about a person, click on him in the list, and then on his avatar on the page that opens. Many of the people you find will have photos in their profiles, which will greatly facilitate the process of finding the person you need.
If the object is found, then click on the “Add to contact list” button. At the same time, a message will be sent to this Skype user, which you will type in the form that opens. Try to explain to him who you are and why you are getting into his contacts. By the way, the same trick with your ears can be done in a less popular messenger called .
findme.mos.ru is a website that helps find missing people in Moscow.

How to find a person by phone number

Sometimes you need to find the installation details of someone using a phone number you have. In principle, this requires telephone databases (preferably new ones that include mobile numbers). However, there is practically nothing like this freely available on the Internet (with the exception of those services that I will give below). You can try to contact the mobile operator and ask for consent from the subscriber you need to provide his personal data.

However, there are simpler ways to find a person’s installation data by his mobile phone number (or vice versa - find out the phone number by last name and first name):

Search people by photo

We can probably imagine a situation where, apart from a photo, you have no other data on the wanted subject, or this data does not give the desired result (full name, he registered on social networks under fictitious data, the identifying data you have turned out to be incorrect, etc. ). In principle, there is only one chance left - searching using the photo you have.

There are a number of very large services on the Internet. This is mainly Google and, more recently, Yandex, but there are several other players in this market (for example,), which are discussed in the above article. How exactly to conduct a search is described in more detail there, so I won’t repeat myself: if you want, you can read it.

You can search by inserting into the URL search bar the address of a photo posted on the Internet (for example, one you found on one of the social networks, where there is no installation information you need, but you hope to find other profiles of this user in other social networks, where he will be more frank). The URL can be copied by right-clicking on the photo in the browser and selecting the context menu item “Copy image address” (or something similar in meaning - depends on the browser you are using.

You can also upload a photo to the address bar from your computer by specifying the path to it.

But you need to understand that the service will search for exactly the same photo, and not the specific person depicted on it. Although, apparently, this is not applicable to large scales of data (the size of the entire Internet) or is applicable, but has not yet been fully implemented. It is possible that when you read this article, such functionality will already appear in Google photo search.

Again, if you can’t find someone, then try to look for one of his acquaintances (relatives) whom you know. It is possible that they are not so secretive (they indicate their real identifying information on social networks) and through them you will be able to reach the subject you are looking for. In war, as they say, all means are good...

How to find a person by email address

If you only have Email (if you don’t know, then read that as a separator - interesting information), then in the same way you can enter it into the search bar of the most popular social networks (Vkontakte, Facebook, Odnoklassniki, Moi Mir and etc.) - if this address was indicated by one of the users registered there, then you will be able to see his profile and get the information available about him from there.

If, after browsing through social networks, you haven’t found anything, then try inserting your email into the Yandex or Google search bar. It is quite possible that this user has his own website, blog, or is registered on a forum where he indicated this Email address. There it will be possible to completely legitimately enter and, having gained trust, obtain the required installation data (but I didn’t tell you that).

Do not neglect the opportunity to write a message to the person you are looking for - fortunately you have his mailing address. If you don't want to glow, you can. You can try using social engineering methods to extract the data you need from him, promising something interesting. But here you need talent or experience, because our citizens have become quite vigilant. Which is what I urge you to do too - not always a buzz when I can easily find you via the network those you would not want to see or would never voluntarily want to communicate with.

You can also search by Email, for example, in instant messengers such as Skype, ICQ and others.

Good luck in your search! Don't forget to bookmark this page in case someone you know needs it too.

Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site

How to get through social networks by phone number

There are many situations when it is necessary to contact a mobile user. This could be a relative with whom the relationship has long been lost, or a person to run a joint business. Regardless of the reason for the search, there are several ways to locate a specific account in order to contact the owner. You can find it via the Internet. It's free and doesn't require downloading dubious apps.

Most social networks ask for a phone number when registering a page. This is necessary to confirm your identity. Such data is classified as secret and is not displayed in the member’s profile. The search is not always successful - if the account owner has hidden this information, then it will not be possible to find him. It is impossible to find a person who is not registered on any social network by number in this way.

Find a person in VKontakte

The search here is accessible and has a high probability of success. This is due to the fact that previously, when creating an account, a mobile number was required. Now you can make a page without specifying a phone number, so searching for people on VKontakte without registration is carried out using other parameters - full name, photo or place of residence. There are several ways to find the account you need.

Through search engines

If you need to find a person by phone number in VK, then contact Yandex or Google. These are popular systems for searching for any information. They all work on the same principle.

What to do:

Open the search engine.
Enter "VK", a space and a phone number.
Click "Search". All detected online and offline contacts that match the request are displayed on the page.
Follow the link from your browser. Register so you can read classified information.

According to news, posts and publications in VK

If the user left the account public, this will help you find it even faster:

Log in to your VK page.
Go to your profile.
Click on the search bar and enter your phone numbers.
Check the information received. This is a list of news, announcements, publications that are associated with the desired person. Last name, first name and other data are also displayed there.

In the mobile application via contact synchronization

Create a new contact on your mobile. Save the number you need to find.
Download the VK application, create your own page or log in with your username and password if one already exists.
Go to the Settings tab. This is a symbol depicting a gear.
Select "Account".
Find the Contact Sync tab. Click on it.
Check the Contacts Only box and click Save. The application will download numbers from the smartphone's phone book.
Open the "Friends" field and click on the "+" sign to add the number you are looking for.
Click on the “Contacts” section in the “Import Friends” tab.
Confirm the operation with the “Yes” button.
Find the person you need, add him as a friend or go to the page.

Search on Facebook

This social network will provide a positive result if the phone number is linked to the profile and the owner has not set a search limit. The information will appear on the device screen even before you press the “find” button. A tooltip will provide links to possible matches.

Step by step instructions:

Go to the official Facebook website.
Register or log in using your username.
Enter the number in the search engine field.
Open the desired page of the wanted person.

Break through your phone to Instagram

You don't have to use a smartphone to discover someone through Instagram. You can search by phone number on social networks on a laptop or computer. The main thing is that the required application is installed on the devices.

How to find information by number:

Enter the contact you are looking for into your address book.
Go to the Instagram page and log in using your password and login.
Find the People Search tab.
Click the “Connect your contact list” button on the page that opens.
Find and select the desired user from those proposed by the system.

Find out through Odnoklassniki

Previously, in OK you could find a person by phone quickly and easily using the password recovery function. Currently, such a search is not available due to the fact that to confirm one’s identity, one must enter a special code that is sent to the cell phone of the wanted person.

Previously, the search went like this:

Open the Odnoklassniki application.
Click on the “Forgot your password?” button.
Select “Phone” on the access recovery page.
Indicate the required set of numbers in the top line.
