All Pakistan SIM Codes: the Complete Verified Reference (2026)
All the Pakistan SIM codes you actually need are listed below, dated and verified. Each entry is checked against a PTA or operator page, then labelled official or community. The registry set covers 668, cnic.sims.pk, 667 and 76367. Then come the own-number dials, BVS status codes, device codes and reporting lines, with the fakes at the end. Every code below links to a deeper guide of its own. The full set of lawful checks lives on our home page, Check SIM Owner Details Pakistan.
Key takeaways
- Registry: SMS your CNIC to 668 (about Rs 2) or use cnic.sims.pk free; 667 for the SIM in hand; 76367 for a number’s network.
- BVS status: Jazz 6001 · Telenor blank SMS to 7751 · Zong V to 7911 · Ufone dial *336*1#.
- Own number: *99# Jazz (official) · *8# Zong · *8888# Telenor · *780*3# Ufone (community-standard).
- Report and device: spam 9000 · fraud 1799 · IMEI *#06# then 8484 · cancel forwarding ##002#.
- No code reveals a stranger’s owner details, because that is a PECA Section 16 offence on every network.
One rule governs all Pakistan SIM codes: they are for your own SIMs and your own CNIC. None of them, on any network, lawfully turns a stranger’s number into a name. Hunting for such a code is an offence. Our legality page maps exactly why. As of June 2026, PTA’s telecom indicators count 208,057,255 active SIMs. Every one of those lines sits against somebody’s CNIC.

Registry codes: your CNIC and your SIMs
Four Pakistan SIM codes read the national registry. Each one answers a different question. Everything else on this page sits on top of them.
| Code | What it does | How | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 668 | Counts every SIM on your CNIC (668 guide) | SMS your 13-digit CNIC, no dashes | About Rs 2. |
| cnic.sims.pk | Same count, plus the activation date of each SIM (portal guide) | Enter your CNIC, then the CAPTCHA | Free, worldwide, NICOP or POC. |
| 667 | Checks the SIM in your hand and returns a masked CNIC (667 vs 668) | SMS the word MNP from that SIM | Standard SMS rate. |
| 76367 | Returns a number’s current network, and nothing else (76367 guide) | SMS “N 03xxxxxxxxx” | About Rs 2. |
These four are the backbone of every legal check. Running 668 once a month is enough for most people. Use the other three when you need what only they can tell you: a masked CNIC, an activation date, or the network behind a number. Our guide to the twelve official methods puts them in context.
Run each registry check, step by step
- Type your CNIC as 13 plain digits, with no dashes, and send it to 668. The reply lists your SIM count for each network.
- For the free version, open cnic.sims.pk, the PTA SIM Information System, enter the same CNIC and solve the CAPTCHA. The list also shows when each SIM was activated.
- Unsure that a SIM in your hand is yours? Send MNP to 667 from that SIM, and the reply shows a masked CNIC. Our 667 SIM owner name guide reads each reply field.
- Need only the network behind a number? SMS the letter N, a space, then the number to 76367, which never returns a name.
What to do if your SIM count looks wrong
First, count the lines you actually use, then compare that with the reply from 668 or the list on cnic.sims.pk. Anything past the eight-SIM limit, or a network you have never used, is worth a second look. Our guide to how many SIMs are on your CNIC decodes what a normal reading looks like.
A SIM you do not recognise can be disowned. PTA capped that fee at Rs 200 from 1 January 2024, waiving it in fraud cases. Two newer rules shape the timing. New SIMs carry a 365-day disowning and transfer lock, under a PTA advisory dated 24 May 2026. A second new SIM triggers a seven-day NADRA wait, a rule in force since 24 January 2024.
How many SIMs can one CNIC hold?
Eight in total: five voice SIMs plus three data SIMs. That split comes from a Supreme Court ruling of 5 November 2015, which replaced the earlier five-SIM cap. To see your own total, send your 13-digit CNIC to 668 or open cnic.sims.pk free of charge. Both read the same national registry.
Which code shows when my SIM was activated?
Only cnic.sims.pk shows activation dates. Sending your CNIC to 668 returns the SIM count for each network, with no dates attached. Open the portal instead, enter your 13-digit CNIC and solve the CAPTCHA; every SIM listed against you then appears with the date it went live.
Own-number codes, by network
Forgotten your own number? Each network has a dial that prints it on screen, free, even on zero balance.
| Network | Dial | How official? | Guaranteed route |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jazz / Warid | *99# | Operator-documented on jazz.com.pk (Jazz guide) | Jazz World app, or call 111. |
| Zong | *8# | Community-standard (Zong guide) | My Zong app, or call 310. |
| Telenor | *8888# | Community-standard (Telenor guide) | My Telenor app, or call 345. |
| Ufone | *780*3# (alt *1#) | Community-standard (Ufone guide) | UPTCL app, or call 333. |
| SCOM · ONIC | App only | No public dial (SCOM and ONIC guide) | SCO app or 355, and the Onic app. |
Only Jazz documents its dial on its own website, so the rest are community practice and every row carries a fallback that never retires. All six networks sit on the master sheet, and confirming a line network by network is what our by-network owner-check hub walks through.
Official, community or guaranteed: what the labels mean
Official means the operator prints the code on its own site, and only Jazz does that. Community-standard means the dial works for most people, but no operator page confirms it. We label every SIM number check code that way rather than oversell it. Each network also keeps a guaranteed route: the operator app or the helpline. That route outlives any code refresh.
Which Pakistan SIM codes are free and which cost money?
Most are free. The own-number dials cost nothing even on zero balance: *99#, *8#, *8888# and *780*3#, as does *#06# for your IMEI. The two registry SMS codes, 668 and 76367, run about Rs 2 each. BVS status texts — every network’s code, with its exact send format, is in our SIM verification status check guide — ride standard SMS rates, while cnic.sims.pk is free from anywhere in the world.
Biometric (BVS) status codes
These codes tell you whether a SIM’s fingerprint registration is verified. Run each one from the SIM you are asking about.
| Network | Run it from that SIM |
|---|---|
| Jazz | SMS your CNIC to 6001. |
| Telenor | Send any SMS, even a blank one, to 7751. |
| Zong | SMS the letter V to 7911. |
| Ufone | Dial *336*1#, which is the corrected code. |
| SCOM · ONIC | Visit a customer centre, or check inside the app. |
The Ufone dial is the one the internet keeps mis-printing as *336#, and the working version, per PTA’s own page, is *336*1#. Our biometric verification guide has the full walkthrough.
Biometric verification is what ties a SIM to a real, living person, which is why the 668 count matters. If a status comes back unverified, take it to the operator helpline instead of guessing.
Device and IMEI codes
These three codes are about the handset rather than the SIM. The difference is worth keeping straight.
| Code | What it does |
|---|---|
| *#06# | Shows your phone’s IMEI, and a dual-SIM handset shows two of them. |
| 8484 | Checks a phone’s PTA and DIRBS status when you SMS the IMEI to it. |
| ##002# | Cancels every call forwarding rule on the SIM. |
DIRBS is Pakistan’s device system. It is not “CEIR”, which belongs to India; our myths desk corrects that mix-up. Buying a phone second-hand? Run *#06#, then 8484, before any money changes hands.
##002# is a standard GSM code rather than a Pakistani one, so clearing old forwarding rules before mobile banking is simple hygiene.
Reporting and helpline numbers
Report a problem to the right desk and it moves faster.
| Number | Use it for |
|---|---|
| 9000 | Report spam SMS to PTA, forwarding both the number and the message. |
| 1799 / complaint.nccia.gov.pk | NCCIA cybercrime: fraud, harassment and data-selling. |
| 0800-55055 | The PTA consumer helpline. |
| 0315-0055055 | PTA Digital Assistant on WhatsApp, announced 26 February 2026. |
| 3627 | Do Not Call register, which Telenor users reach by dialling *3627#. |
| Operators | Jazz 111 · Zong 310 · Telenor 345 · Ufone 333 · SCOM 355. |
The NCCIA line replaced the old FIA cybercrime route and has run since 3 June 2025. If a number harasses you, screenshots plus a 1799 report is the lawful path.
That pipeline does produce results. Regulators blocked 1,372 data-selling platforms by September 2025, then an NCCIA-led sweep took down 139 more that October. Our news changelog tracks each action.

Fake and mis-quoted codes to ignore
Five kinds of fake Pakistan SIM codes circulate that do not work as promised. The most quoted is 7622 for spam reporting, which is a mis-quote of PTA’s real spam number, 9000. The rest are *321#, *345# and *333# sold as SIM-count dials, 8300 or 8400 sold as CNIC status lines, plus any code claiming to name a stranger.
Which SIM codes in Pakistan are fake?
- Any “owner name from number” code or site. None exists legally, and using one is a Section 16 offence.
- “Live SIM database” shortcodes. The registry has no public API, so these are recycled leaks or invention, like any live SIM tracker.
- “7622” for spam. It is a common mis-quote, and the real PTA spam number is 9000.
- “CNIC status” via 8300 or 8400. Those are ECP voter and NADRA tracking services, so verify your own CNIC details through NADRA’s proper channels instead.
- *321#, *345# or *333# to “show all your SIMs”. Wrong function, because only 668 and cnic.sims.pk do that job.
If a shortcode is not printed on an operator page or a PTA page, treat it as unverified until it is. That single test is the standard behind this reference to all SIM codes in Pakistan. The scam economy feeding the fakes is taken apart on our Pak SIM Data page.
Common mistakes with Pakistan SIM codes
- Sending your CNIC to 668 with dashes, when the code only reads 13 plain digits.
- Dialling *336# on Ufone and assuming BVS is broken, when the working code is *336*1#.
- Expecting 76367 to return a name, though it returns the current network and nothing more.
- Treating 8484 as a SIM check, when it reads a handset IMEI instead.
- Paying a website for “owner details”, because no lawful lookup of a stranger exists at any price.
- Ignoring an unfamiliar SIM on your 668 reply instead of disowning it, when the fee is capped at Rs 200.
Is there a code to see who owns a number?
No, on any network, free or paid. A stranger’s owner details are protected under Section 16 of PECA 2016, so hunting for them is an offence punishable by up to three years in prison, a fine of up to Rs 5 million, or both. The lawful by-number checks are narrow: 76367 returns only the current network, while 667 shows a masked CNIC for the SIM in your hand.
Our guide to SIM owner details by number sets out where that boundary sits.
Frequently asked questions
What is the code to check all SIMs on my CNIC?
SMS your 13-digit CNIC, with no dashes, to 668 for about Rs 2. The free alternative is cnic.sims.pk. Both read the national SIM registry and return your SIM count network by network. The portal shows the same counts on a dated table (not per-SIM activation dates), and it works worldwide on a NICOP or POC.
How do I disown a SIM that is not mine?
Raise it with the operator that issued the line, through its app, its helpline or a franchise. PTA capped the disowning fee at Rs 200 from 1 January 2024 and waives it where fraud is involved. New SIMs carry a 365-day disowning and transfer lock under a PTA advisory dated 24 May 2026.
Which code checks Ufone biometric verification?
Dial *336*1# from the Ufone SIM you are asking about. The bare *336# that circulates online is a mis-print, which is why so many people decide the check is broken. The reply tells you whether that SIM’s fingerprint registration is on record with the operator.
What number do I report a SIM scam or fraud to?
Forward spam texts to 9000, which is PTA’s spam line. Report fraud, harassment or data-selling to the NCCIA on 1799, or through complaint.nccia.gov.pk. The PTA consumer helpline is 0800-55055, and the Digital Assistant runs on WhatsApp at 0315-0055055. There is no 7622, which is a common fake.
How do I check if my phone is PTA-approved?
Dial *#06# to read the handset IMEI, then SMS that IMEI to 8484. The reply gives the phone’s status in PTA’s DIRBS system. This is a device check, and it is separate from any SIM check. Run it before you pay for a second-hand phone, not after.
What is ##002# for?
Dialling ##002# cancels every call forwarding rule on the SIM. It is useful hygiene before you use mobile banking, because malicious forwarding can quietly divert your calls. It is a standard GSM code rather than a Pakistan-specific one, so it behaves the same on every network.
Which code tells me a number’s network?
SMS the letter N, a space, then the 11-digit number to 76367, for about Rs 2. The reply names the network that number sits on today, which is what changes after a port. It returns nothing else: no name, no CNIC, no address.
How do I stop marketing calls and texts?
Use the Do Not Call register on 3627, which Telenor users reach by dialling *3627#. Forward spam messages to 9000, PTA’s spam line, including the sender’s number. Persistent harassment or fraud belongs with the NCCIA on 1799, or through complaint.nccia.gov.pk.
Which codes should I never trust?
Distrust any code claimed to reveal a stranger’s name from a number. Distrust every “live SIM database” shortcode too, and mis-quoted reporting numbers such as 7622. The test is simple: if a code is not printed on an operator page or a PTA page, treat it as unverified.
Roman Urdu mein
Pakistan ke saare kaam ke SIM codes aik jagah, verified aur dated. Apne saare SIM ginne ke liye CNIC 668 par SMS karein, ya cnic.sims.pk kholein jo free hai.
