Before You Contact Us: Quick Self-Help Resources
Many common questions are already answered in our comprehensive guides. Check these first for faster answers:
“How do I check my SIM owner details?”
Complete Answer: Official SIM Verification Methods Guide
Quick Summary:
- 668 SMS: Send your 13-digit CNIC to 668 (Rs. 2 + tax)
- cnic.sims.pk Portal: Free web-based verification with printable results
- 667 Code: Verify specific SIM in your device (free)
- 76367 Network Check: Identify which operator owns a number (Rs. 1 + tax)
“I found unauthorized SIMs on my CNIC — what should I do?”
Complete Answer: Unauthorized SIM Emergency Removal Protocol
Immediate Actions:
- Screenshot your 668 or portal results with timestamp
- Call affected operators’ helplines same day (Jazz 111, Zong 310, Telenor 345, Ufone 333)
- Visit franchise within 72 hours with original CNIC
- Request “SIM Disowning” service (completely free)
- File FIA complaint if 2+ unauthorized SIMs detected
“668 shows error message — how do I fix it?”
Complete Answer: 668 Error Troubleshooting Guide
Common Errors:
- “Invalid CNIC format” → Remove all dashes and spaces, type 13 continuous digits only
- “CNIC not found” → Verify each digit against your physical CNIC card
- No reply received → Check you sent to exactly 668 (not 668# or *668)
- 0 SIMs showing → Wait 48 hours if you activated within 72 hours
“How do I check SIM owner details for each network?”
Network-Specific Guides:
- Jazz SIM Owner Details — *44461#, *321#, MyJazz app verification
- Zong SIM Owner Details — *6665#, My Zong app methods
- Telenor SIM Owner Details — *345#, *222# service codes
- Ufone SIM Owner Details — *336#, INFO to 666 SMS
- ONIC SIM Owner Details — ONIC app verification (newest network)
- SCO SIM Owner Details — Regional GB/AJK network guide
“I’m approaching PTA’s 8-SIM limit — what should I do?”
Complete Answer: PTA 8-SIM Limit Complete Guide
Quick Action: Proactively disown old/inactive SIMs before hitting the maximum. Visit franchise with original CNIC and request disowning for specific numbers. Processing takes 17 business days.
“Can I check SIM owner details for someone else’s number?”
Legal Answer: SIM Details by Number — Legal Boundaries
Short Answer: No. Accessing another person’s SIM registration data without lawful authorization violates PECA 2016 Section 16 — penalties include up to 3 years imprisonment plus Rs. 5,700,000 fine. You can only legally check: (1) SIMs on your own CNIC via 668/portal, (2) A SIM physically in your device via 667.
“Are platforms like Minahil SIM Data or Live Tracker legal?”
Complete Investigation: Minahil SIM Data — Full Expose
Short Answer: No. These platforms operate illegally outside Pakistan’s regulatory framework. Using them violates PECA 2016, exposes your CNIC to harvesting, and risks criminal prosecution. Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi ordered a national investigation in September 2025 after his own SIM data was found being sold through these platforms.
