SIM Owner Details: Quick Decision Guide (4 Methods, Under 1 Minute)

Live Lookup · PTA Methods

Find SIM Details by Number or CNIC

Enter a mobile number or your 13-digit CNIC to check the registered SIM details instantly — free and within PTA rules.

Tip: 13 digits = CNIC lookup, 10–11 digits = mobile number lookup.

Four official methods let you check SIM owner details in Pakistan, all free and PTA-approved. This page is the quick-answer version: a decision table and the exact steps for each method, so you can act in under a minute. For the complete reference — every network, edge case, scam warning, and legal detail — see the full SIM owner details guide.

Which method do I need? Decision table

Match your goal to a method below — each takes under a minute and costs nothing beyond a standard SMS charge.

Your goal Method Time Cost
See all SIMs on my CNIC 668 SMS 30s Free
Confirm owner of the SIM in my hand 667 MNP 30s Free
Full PTA record with dates and status cnic.sims.pk 1 min Free
Identify which network a number is on 76367 10s Free

Most people start with 668 for a CNIC-wide count, then use the portal or 667 to confirm anything that looks off. For a direct head-to-head of the two SMS services, see 667 vs 668 Pakistan.

668 SMS — check every SIM on your CNIC

  1. Open your SMS app.
  2. Type your 13-digit CNIC. No dashes, no spaces.
  3. Send to 668.
  4. Read the reply within 30 seconds — it lists SIM counts per network.

Sample format: Jazz: 2, Zong: 1, Telenor: 0, Ufone: 1, SCO: 0. For the full walkthrough with troubleshooting and network notes, see the CNIC SIM check guide.

667 MNP — confirm the SIM in your hand

  1. From the SIM in question, open your SMS app.
  2. Type MNP.
  3. Send to 667.
  4. Read the reply confirming the registered name and a masked CNIC.

667 only returns information for the SIM that sends the message — it cannot query a different number. For per-network reply formats, see the 667 method page.

cnic.sims.pk — the full PTA record

  1. Open cnic.sims.pk in any browser.
  2. Enter your 13-digit CNIC and complete the captcha.
  3. Enter the OTP sent to your registered number.
  4. View individual SIM numbers, activation dates, and verification status.

Use the portal when 668’s count isn’t enough detail. For what the portal exposes beyond the SMS services, see SIM database online Pakistan.

76367 — identify a number’s network

  1. Open your SMS app.
  2. Type the 11-digit Pakistani mobile number you want to check.
  3. Send to 76367.
  4. Read the reply confirming the current operator within 10 seconds.

76367 only returns the network — not owner details, activation date, or verification status. For what owner-detail checks can return instead, see SIM details by number.

Which Method Should You Choose? Quick Scenarios

Different situations call for different checks. Match your case below:

  • You bought a second-hand SIM: send “MNP” to 667 immediately to confirm whose name it carries, then transfer ownership at the franchise — details in SIM owner details via 667.
  • You suspect extra SIMs on your identity: SMS your CNIC to 668 or use cnic.sims.pk — see every SIM registered on your CNIC.
  • You’re overseas: cnic.sims.pk and PTA’s RAABTA WhatsApp (0315-0055055) work from any country without a Pakistani SIM.
  • You only need the network of a number: SMS the number to 76367 for instant network identification.
  • Your check shows too many SIMs: read the PTA SIM limit per CNIC and how to deactivate an extra SIM.

Common Mistakes That Break These Checks

  • Typing the CNIC with dashes — 668 and cnic.sims.pk need 13 digits only.
  • Sending “MNP” from a different SIM — 667 reports on the SIM that sends the message.
  • Using an expired CNIC — renew with NADRA first, or results may be blocked.
  • Trusting third-party APKs — official channels are PTA (668, cnic.sims.pk, RAABTA) and operator apps only.
