Can my phone provider tell me what country my text/ call is delivered to?


Can you find out the country your calls or texts are going when you send to another mobile device? Just thought my phone provider could tell me??

You can find out which country is the number from by searching for its prefix number. Let's say +44 is for UK, +48 is for Poland or +351 is for Portugal.

Im using my mobile to ring another contact on my mobile so im not using the area codes. Im trying to find out if someone is lying about the country they are contacting me from which is German. I think they are in Poland so i need to know if my phone provider will tell me if i contacted them as i have no other way of doing it

Unfortunately, due to data pravicy laws and new GDPR rules. Your provider is not allowed to share personal information about their customers. Furthermore as you mentioned in previous post, number you are asking for is from another provider which means ID won't have access to that information even if they wanted to.
