Check the SIMs on Your Own CNIC or Number
Pick a tab and press the button to see the official PTA check for your own CNIC, or for the SIM in your phone. Nothing you type leaves this page, and this site does not look up other people's numbers.
No official service in Pakistan gives you a list of the mobile numbers registered on your CNIC. The 668 SMS and cnic.sims.pk only give counts. To find every number on your CNIC, you match that count against the SIMs you hold: confirm each one with 667, compare per operator, and visit the operator’s franchise for any SIM you cannot account for.

This page is the audit. If you only need the count, the CNIC SIM check guide covers 668 and cnic.sims.pk in detail.
Why a count is not enough
PTA’s two CNIC checks tell you how many SIMs are tied to your identity:
- 668: SMS your 13-digit CNIC (no dashes) to 668. The reply gives the number of active SIMs, broken down by operator. About Rs 2 + tax.
- cnic.sims.pk: enter your CNIC and click Submit. It shows the total number of SIMs. Free.
Neither shows numbers. So if 668 says “Jazz 2” and you only know one Jazz number, you have to work out what the second one is. That matters because PTA holds the registered owner responsible for calls, messages and data on every SIM in their name.
The audit in six steps
Step 1: Write down every number you think is yours
List the SIMs in your phones, any data SIM in a device or dongle, old SIMs in a drawer, and SIMs you bought for family members. Next to each number, write the operator you believe it is on. Remember that with Mobile Number Portability a prefix like 0300 or 0345 no longer proves the current network, so if you are unsure, send “N 03XXXXXXXXX” to 76367 to check (Rs 2 + tax).
Step 2: Get your per-operator count from 668
Send your 13-digit CNIC to 668. Save the reply or take a screenshot. This is your target: the number of SIMs you need to account for on each network.
Step 3: Confirm each SIM you hold with 667
From each SIM on your list, send “MNP” to 667. The reply shows the registered owner’s name with a partly hidden CNIC and the activation date. A small SMS charge may apply. This only works for the SIM that sends the message, so you need to do it from each SIM separately.
- If the reply shows your name, tick that SIM as confirmed on your CNIC.
- If it shows someone else’s name, that SIM is not on your CNIC. It should not be counted against your 668 total, and you may want it transferred to your name if you are the real user.

Step 4: Compare, operator by operator
For each operator, subtract the SIMs you confirmed from the 668 count. Any number left over is a SIM on your CNIC that you have not identified.
Step 5: Identify the leftover SIM at the operator’s franchise
Go to a franchise or customer service centre of the operator where the gap is. Take your original CNIC. Explain that 668 shows more SIMs on your CNIC than you can account for and ask them to identify the number after verifying your fingerprint. Then decide:
- It is an old SIM of yours you no longer use: ask for it to be removed from your CNIC.
- A family member uses it: see the section below.
- You have no idea who uses it: disown it. PTA treats a disown request as a request to remove the SIM from your CNIC, and it needs your biometric verification. Ask for a complaint or reference number.
The full process, including what to do if the SIM was issued fraudulently, is on our deactivate extra SIM page.
Step 6: Keep a record and recheck
Write down the date, the 668 reply, which numbers you confirmed, and any reference numbers from the operator. After some time, send your CNIC to 668 again to confirm the count has dropped. Then repeat the check every few months.
Worked example
Ayesha sends her CNIC to 668. The reply shows Jazz 2, Zong 1, Ufone 1, a total of four. She knows three numbers: one Jazz SIM in her phone, a Zong data SIM in her internet device, and a Ufone SIM her mother uses.
| Operator | 668 count | SIMs confirmed with 667 | Gap | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jazz | 2 | 1 (her own phone) | 1 | Visit a Jazz franchise with original CNIC to identify the second SIM |
| Zong | 1 | 1 (data device) | 0 | None |
| Ufone | 1 | 1 (mother’s phone, 667 shows Ayesha’s name) | 0 | Ask her mother to transfer it to her own CNIC |
At the Jazz franchise, the second SIM turns out to be one Ayesha bought years ago and lost. She asks for it to be removed from her CNIC and keeps the reference number. A later 668 check shows Jazz 1, Zong 1, Ufone 1. Once her mother transfers the Ufone SIM, Ayesha’s CNIC carries only the two SIMs she actually uses.
If the leftover SIM is on an operator you have never used, or the count rose without you buying a SIM, treat it as possible misuse. Disown it at the franchise, then follow the complaint steps below.
Family members’ SIMs on your CNIC
It is common in Pakistan for one person’s CNIC to carry SIMs used by a spouse, parent or grown-up child. PTA said in December 2025 that every SIM must be registered in the name of the actual user, and that the registered owner is held responsible for what happens on it. Violations can lead to penalties or disconnection.
So if an adult relative is using a SIM on your CNIC, the safer course is for them to take ownership. Ownership transfers need biometric verification, so both of you should check with the operator what is required and visit the franchise. Until it is transferred, any misuse of that SIM is traced to you. This also frees a slot under the 5 voice + 3 data SIM limit.
If a SIM was issued without your consent
- Disown it at the operator’s franchise and get a complaint number.
- If the operator does not resolve it, complain to PTA through its online Complaint Management System (website or app) or call toll-free 0800-55055. PTA needs your name, contact details, the operator’s complaint number and a short description.
- If the SIM has been used for fraud, threats, harassment or identity misuse, report it to the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) on 1799. Keep screenshots, numbers and any transaction details.
Unauthorised use of someone’s identity information is an offence under Section 16 of PECA 2016, punishable by up to 3 years in prison, a fine up to Rs 5 million, or both.
What the audit will not do
This process works only for your own CNIC. It cannot show the SIMs on another person’s CNIC, and no public database can. Websites that claim to list “all numbers on a CNIC” typically show leaked or outdated data, fake results, or collect the CNICs people type in. See why online SIM databases are unsafe, or return to the SIM owner details hub for the other official checks.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a printed list of my numbers?
Not from 668 or cnic.sims.pk. Ask the operator at its franchise about SIMs registered with it on your CNIC. Each operator can only help with its own SIMs, so a gap on two networks means two visits.
The 667 reply on my SIM shows another person’s name. What now?
The SIM is not registered to you. If you are the real user, ask the operator about transferring it to your name, which needs biometric verification. Otherwise, misuse of that SIM is the registered owner’s responsibility, not yours.
How long after disowning will 668 change?
PTA does not publish a fixed time. Check again after some time, and if the count has not changed, follow up with the operator using your reference number.
