What Are SIM Owner Details?

SIM owner details are the verified registration records that the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) binds to every active mobile number through NADRA's biometric verification system. Every Pakistani citizen can access these details instantly — free of charge — using four officially sanctioned methods across all five networks.

SIM owner details are the six verified identity attributes that PTA records in its Subscriber Verification Management System (SVMS) at the moment of biometric SIM activation. The SVMS operates in real-time synchronization with NADRA's national identity database — making it the single authoritative source for SIM ownership information across all Pakistani networks.

When a SIM is activated at any Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone, or SCO franchise, these six attributes are permanently logged against that mobile number:

1. Registered owner name — exactly as printed on the activating CNIC
2. CNIC number — the 13-digit national identity number biometrically bound to the SIM
3. Network operator — Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone, or SCO
4. Activation date — date biometric verification completed via NADRA MBVS
5. Biometric verification status — whether the SIM remains NADRA-compliant
6. SIM status — active, blocked, suspended, or pending re-verification

Every official SIM owner details lookup method — SMS codes, USSD dials, and the PTA portal — queries a subset of these six attributes to return your results.

How to Check SIM Owner Details in Pakistan

There are four officially supported methods. Each serves a distinct purpose — choose based on what you need to verify.

Method 1 — SMS to 668 (Complete CNIC Audit)

The 668 service returns a full network-wise count of every SIM registered under your CNIC. It is the recommended monthly check for every Pakistani mobile user to detect unauthorized registrations.

1. Open the SMS app on any Pakistani mobile
2. Type your 13-digit CNIC — no dashes, no spaces (example: 3520112345671)
3. Send to 668
4. Receive a network-wise SIM count within 10–15 seconds

Sample reply:

Total SIMs Registered: 3
Jazz / Mobilink: 1
Zong (CMPak): 1
Telenor Pakistan: 1
Ufone (PTCL): 0
SCO: 0

Cost: Standard SMS rate (~Rs. 0.50–2.50). Works 24/7, with or without internet, on any network.

Method 2 — SMS MNP to 667 (SIM-Specific Owner Details)

The 667 service returns the registered owner name, masked CNIC, and activation date for the specific SIM physically inside your phone. Use this when buying a used phone, receiving a transferred SIM, or confirming ownership after a number port.

1. Open SMS app
2. Type: MNP (in capitals)
3. Send to 667
4. Receive owner name, masked CNIC (last 4 digits visible), and activation date within 6–10 seconds

Cost: Standard SMS rate. Works on all five Pakistani networks.

Method 3 — PTA Online Portal (cnic.sims.pk)

The PTA's official web portal delivers the same CNIC-wide SIM owner details as 668, but in a printable table with operator names and registration dates visible per number. Output is legally accepted for FIR filings, bank disputes, and court submissions.

1. Open any browser and visit cnic.sims.pk
2. Enter your 13-digit CNIC (without dashes)
3. Complete the CAPTCHA
4. View all registered SIMs listed by operator with activation dates

Cost: Free. No account required.

Method 4 — Operator USSD Codes (Network-Specific Details)

Each operator provides a USSD code that shows SIM owner details specific to that network directly on your handset screen:

SIM Owner Details — What Information Is Available

Pakistan's SIM owner details system is built on PTA's SVMS, which synchronizes with NADRA in real time. The information accessible to you depends on which official channel you use:

Biometric Status Check — Per Operator

668 vs 667 — Which Service Do You Need?

These two PTA shortcodes are the most-used SIM owner detail services in Pakistan, but they serve completely different purposes:

Rule: Use 668 monthly to audit your full CNIC. Use 667 whenever a SIM changes hands.

CNIC SIM Check — PTA Registration Limits

The CNIC SIM check reveals all active connections registered under any national identity number. Operated jointly by PTA and NADRA, it is accessible free via cnic.sims.pk or by SMS to 668. PTA enforces strict per-CNIC limits:

Found an Unauthorized SIM on Your CNIC? Here's What to Do

If your SIM owner details check via 668 or cnic.sims.pk shows more connections than you personally registered, initiate a SIM disowning request immediately. This free, in-person service permanently removes unauthorized numbers from your CNIC record.

SIM Disowning — Step by Step

1. Document: Screenshot the 668 reply and print from cnic.sims.pk with timestamp
2. Call the operator same day: Jazz (111), Zong (310), Telenor (345), or Ufone (333)
3. Visit the franchise: Bring your original CNIC only (photocopies rejected). Request specifically: "SIM Disowning" or "Unauthorized SIM Blocking"
4. Complete biometrics: Fingerprint scan via NADRA MBVS
5. Collect reference number: Get written confirmation before leaving
6. Confirm removal: Re-check 668 after Day 18 — count should drop

SIM Ownership Transfer Service

SIM ownership transfer permanently reassigns a mobile number's owner details from one verified CNIC to another. It must be completed in person at the operator's franchise with biometric verification from both parties.

Transfer Requirements

• Original CNIC of current SIM owner
• Original CNIC of new owner
• Physical SIM card being transferred
• Biometric fingerprint of both parties (NADRA MBVS)
• Signed transfer request form (available at franchise)

Transfer Fees Per Operator

Pakistan SIM Database — Network Coverage

Pakistan's national SIM database (SVMS) is jointly maintained by PTA and NADRA and covers all five mobile operators. SIM owner details for every active connection in the country are stored and queryable through official channels.

• Jazz (Mobilink/Warid) — 82M+ subscribers (~38% market share), prefixes 0300–0309
• Telenor Pakistan — 58M+ subscribers (~27%), prefixes 0340–0347
• Zong (CMPak) — 45M+ subscribers, Pakistan's 4G/5G leader (~21%), prefixes 0310–0318
• Ufone (PTCL) — 28M+ subscribers, state-owned (~13%), prefixes 0330–0337
• SCO — 6M+ subscribers, covers GB and AJK, prefixes 0355–0357

PTA introduced two major SVMS updates between 2024–2026: the minimum gap between new SIM activations under the same CNIC was extended to 7 days, and facial biometric verification was added alongside NADRA fingerprint MBVS from 2026. Any SIM failing re-verification enters a 120-day progressive restriction timeline ending in permanent deactivation.
