How can I buy a "Custom Mobile Telephone Number" in the Ukraine?

Hello. Might sound like a niche question but, in my country it is possible to purchase "custom telephone numbers".

Per example, there is a specialized telephone/sim internet forum where people sell the so called "Premium numbers" or even one of these new SIM card providers that would allow you to choose your favorite combination of numbers and provide you a list with the available telephone numbers they have related to your desire.

Per example, if you want a number with "5555" you could get a telephone No. with those keynumbers on the SIM.

(Sorry if i explain myself like a retard) Hopefully someone less dumb than me can provide me with info or with a fuck off.

Thank you

Very smart giving out your phone number on the internet. What a moranic thing to do. Well, I'm going to teech you a lesson. Guess where that number's going to go? I'm using it to sign up for a bunch of pornographic and illegal websites and various MAGAzines and newslettars, and your going to get a lot of spam phone calls. I must admit, it's pretty damn funny, almost like a prank, accept you'll learn from this, and it's going to be a prank that lasts you quite a few ears since you'll have a hard time blocking every number.

Telephone PIN Theft: Doesn't the prison have a log of what numbers were called?

I'm really curious about this.
Every season there's drama around someone making calls on a stolen PIN. Why can't the prison easily resolve this by looking at what numbers were called on the stolen PIN, having the victim identify the numbers they don't recognize, and then comparing those numbers to other inmates? I have to assume that the thieves are probably calling the same people on different PINs so this should be super easy to figure out.

If people knew they could easily get caught, they'd stop doing it, which would reduce the drama and violence this can lead to.

Approach to get telephone numbers from surnames in a particular province of Spain

Hi,

I am looking for a way to search for telephone numbers based on surname(s) in a determined province of Spain.

So for example, I would like to search for all people surnamed "SΓ‘nchez" in the province of "Murcia", and output their telephone numbers. This seems like a marketing campaign but it's far from that. I would like to release an open source software with it.

This would be an web-based service, without databases, due to GDPR. A tool to check if numbers exist in any social network.This is already been done (and inspired by) at http://blancas.paginasamarillas.es/, but people need to actively upload their info there. So the number of results is far from what I am expecting to see.

I have found a spanish software here: https://github.com/Quantika14/osint-suite-tools, and it is currently not working, but I can see some interesting ideas. It is even trying to get some info from InfoJobs, a spanish-like LinkedIn, brilliant idea.

I already created an open source app that extracts data from the Spanish' Institute of National Statistics: https://github.com/DrumSergio/secciones-nacionalidades, but it just outputs demography data based on nationality (It partly addresses what I am trying to achieve). So I was aiming to deepen into this idea of the surnames and telephones.

I also was interested in Facebook, but it seems nearly impossible right now after all the changes it made to the graph API. I want to build something free too, so I don't know which other services would expose something as private as a telephone number, with a (free) high API limit, but for sure you have more ideas about it. Maybe what I am seeking is a little bit impossible now, every other tool I find is mainly focused on discovering companies' services and employees, pure traditional OSINT. This little area of OSINT and SOCMINT is not as exploited nor addressed as traditional OSINT, so I can not get more info about it on the net. In addition, I am not even an expert in the area, so that is why I am posting this today.

Please, share your ideas. Have a nice day and take care.

[SMT] A mobile phone that could read aloud the name (if it's in the phone-book) or telephone number (if it's unknown caller) of the person who is calling.

This feature could be activated by a special button, so the phone would first ring, and if activated it would say the name or the number. I think it would be ideal for older people. For instance, whenever my father's phone rings he first puts on his glasses, checks who's calling and only after that he answers the phone. Yes, I know you can activate different ringtones on different numbers but there are only so many ringtones that you can remember.

Telephone number validation

Hi everyone.

I'm looking for ideas on how to validate telephone numbers on checkout. We operate in a few different countries that have different telephone number requirements (in prefix or length).

I think the best way to do this is though a mix of messaging on checkout and automatic validation of the field (but this would just throw an error message).

How have you successfully implemented this?
