Hi, does anyone know of a website or app that allows you to find out which network a particular mobile phone in the UK uses? It appears to be determined by the first four digits of the number, eg. 0776 = O2, 0780 = Orange, etc. Any help would be appreciated. Regards, Al.

Even if you do find one, it'll only tell you which network the number was originally assigned to. When you change networks, you can take your number with you.

Good point, well made. However, I'm not looking for a DEFINITIVE guide/list/site, just somewhere that gives me an IDEA. Cheers.
