Hi everyone👋 , In this article, you will learn how you can get information about phone numbers, like the country name to which the phone number belongs, or the network service provider name of that phone number just by writing a simple Python program. Python provides a module name phonenumbers for this task. This article is Python’s port of Google’s libphonenumber library. You can refer to my YouTube video to see a working tutorial for better understanding and a step-by-step guide of the same.
Installation
Install the package phonenumbers using the below command in your command prompt.
pip install phonenumbers
Example 1: Python program to get the country name to which phone number belongs:
import phonenumbers
# geocoder: to know the specific
# location to that phone number
from phonenumbers import geocoder
phone_number = phonenumbers.parse("Number with country code")
# Indian phone number example: +91**********
# Nepali phone number example: +977**********
# this will print the country name
print(geocoder.description_for_number(phone_number,
'en'))
Output:
India
Example 2: Python program to get the service provider name to that phone number
import phonenumbers
# carrier: to know the name of
# service provider of that phone number
from phonenumbers import carrier
service_provider = phonenumbers.parse("Number with country code")
# Indian phone number example: +91**********
# Nepali phone number example: +977**********
# this will print the service provider name
print(carrier.name_for_number(service_provider,
'en'))
Output:
Airtel
