It's easy to find the carrier of a particular cell number.
Cell phone numbers are categorized like traditional landline numbers. Each number has a three-digit prefix (also known as an exchange) that follows the area code. Cell phone carriers own the exchanges in which they assign numbers. With a few mouse clicks it is possible to crack this code to determine which cell carrier owns a number.
