About CnicSimInfo & Muhammad Hamza
Here is the short version about CnicSimInfo: a free, independent guide to SIM owner details in Pakistan that shows you how to check the SIMs registered on your own CNIC. Every method here is an official PTA or NADRA channel, never a third-party lookup. The guide also covers how to stay safe from SIM fraud and identity theft. Muhammad Hamza writes it, keeps it current, and checks every fact against a named source. Last reviewed: 5 August 2026.
Muhammad Hamza
Founder & Editor, CnicSimInfo
I built CnicSimInfo for one reason, and everything about CnicSimInfo follows from it. Almost every “SIM owner details” page in Pakistan repeats the same myths. Many of them also run illegal lookup tools that put your data at risk. I read the real PTA notices, NADRA advisories and court rulings. Then I turn them into plain answers you can trust. You get them in English and in Roman-Urdu. I review the whole guide every quarter, so it stays current.

About CnicSimInfo: What This Guide Is — and Is Not
CnicSimInfo is a free, independent guide to the official ways of checking which SIMs are registered on your own CNIC. That is the whole remit: accurate, legal and genuinely useful, with no lookup box for anyone else’s number, because running one would break PECA 2016 Section 16. That single rule decides what goes on the site, and what stays off it. Everything else about CnicSimInfo is detail.
✅ What CnicSimInfo is
- The plainest fact about CnicSimInfo: a free guide to the official self-checks: the 668 SMS, the cnic.sims.pk portal, 667 and 76367.
- Plain English and Roman-Urdu, written for readers in Pakistan.
- Sourced from PTA, NADRA, the Supreme Court, PKCERT and NCCIA.
- Reviewed and updated every quarter.
🚫 What it is not
- No third-party “look up any number” tool. That kind of tool is illegal under PECA 2016 Section 16.
- No paid data, and no “premium list on WhatsApp” offers.
- No storing or selling of your CNIC or your numbers.
- No invented advisories, fake penalties or drifting figures.
Experience
Who Writes This & Why You Can Trust It
I am Muhammad Hamza, the founder and editor of CnicSimInfo, and I write every page on it myself. If you remember one thing about CnicSimInfo, let it be that a single named editor answers for every line. The work is reading Pakistan’s telecom and identity rules first-hand: PTA short-code notices, NADRA advisories, and rulings such as the Supreme Court order of 5 November 2015 that caps one CNIC at 8 SIMs. You should not have to dig through scattered notices and sites that contradict each other.
- I read primary sources. PTA notices and short-code lists, NADRA advisories, Supreme Court reporting, PECA 2016, and updates from PKCERT and NCCIA.
- I write from real use. The 668 SMS, the cnic.sims.pk portal, 667, 76367 and the biometric codes are explained from how they behave in practice.
- I correct the myths openly. Other pages get the SIM limit, the dates or the penalties wrong. This guide gives the verified figure and names its source.
- I update on a schedule. The whole guide is reviewed every quarter, and the “last reviewed” date is kept current.
Editorial Standards
How We Source & Fact-Check
Every figure on this site has to earn its place. Nothing about CnicSimInfo matters more than that rule. A number, a date or a penalty is published only after it holds up in a second, independent source, and that source is named in the text beside it so you can check the claim yourself. Anything that cannot clear that bar stays off the page, however widely it is repeated elsewhere.
- Named sources only. A number or a date has to trace back to PTA, NADRA, the Supreme Court, PKCERT, NCCIA or a serious news outlet. If it does not, we leave it out.
- No drifting figures. Some “facts” show up as a different number on every site. We treat those as invented, and we do not publish them.
- Corrections welcome. Found something out of date or wrong? Tell us. We check it, we fix it, and we say so on the page.
- Privacy first. We store no CNIC and no phone numbers. We run no lookup, and we never sell data. The checker tool works fully inside your own browser.
What we will never publish. A fake June-2026 advisory. An “Operation Clean Sweep”. A “7-year, Rs 5.7 million” penalty. A “limit reduced to 6”. A count of “198 million SIMs”. Any third-party lookup box. None of these are real, and some of them are illegal.
The verified numbers look different. The cap is 8 SIMs per CNIC: 5 voice and 3 data, set by the Supreme Court on 5 November 2015. PECA 2016 Section 16 carries up to 3 years in prison, a fine of up to Rs 5,000,000, or both. PTA’s telecom indicators show 208,057,255 active cellular subscribers as of June 2026, against 204.771 million at the end of February.

Contact & Corrections
Spotted an error? Have a question about CnicSimInfo, or about the SIMs on your CNIC? We would really like to hear from you. Reader corrections about CnicSimInfo pages are part of how this guide stays accurate.
You can reach us through the contact page. For official help, the PTA consumer line is 0800-55055, with online complaints at complaint.pta.gov.pk. The cybercrime helpline is 1799. It is run by NCCIA, which has been working since 3 June 2025, and it replaced the older FIA line 1991.
How a SIM information page gets made here
Nothing about CnicSimInfo is improvised: nothing goes live on this site until it has been checked twice. The routine behind every update is the same four steps, whether the change starts as a PTA advisory, a NADRA notice or a court order.
The four steps behind every update
- A change appears. It may be a PTA advisory, a NADRA notice or a court order.
- We verify it twice. The claim has to hold up in a second, independent source. If only one site carries it, it waits.
- We test the codes. Short codes are re-tested on the editor’s own SIMs, where that is legal and possible.
- Only then does a dated page go live. The source is named in the text, so you can check it for yourself.
Claims that fail this test are not quietly dropped. They go on the myths page with a verdict. Naming what is false helps readers faster than repeating what is true.
A worked example: the Ufone biometric code
Many sites tell Ufone users to dial *336# for biometric status. PTA’s own post shows that the working string is *336*1#. The short version is incomplete, so it leaves people guessing. We fixed every mention of it on this site on 11 July 2026. Small details like this one say a lot about CnicSimInfo: we re-test codes instead of copying other pages.
Questions readers ask about CnicSimInfo
Are you affiliated with PTA, NADRA or any operator?
No. The key fact about CnicSimInfo is that it is fully independent of PTA, NADRA and every mobile operator. That independence is the whole point. It lets this guide say plainly which viral claims are invented, and which official services really work the way they are sold. We take no money and no instructions from any of them.
Why trust a one-editor site over a big portal?
Do not trust either one on reputation. Trust the receipts instead, which is the honest answer to most questions about CnicSimInfo. Every fact on this site traces back to a named source that you can open and read yourself. Corrections are made in the open, on the page itself. This site also runs no lookup tool, so it has no reason to exaggerate a risk.
How is the site funded?
Through clearly labelled ads, and nothing else. That is all there is to know about CnicSimInfo funding. There are no paid lookups here, because selling access to other people’s data is illegal under PECA 2016. There are no sponsored posts either, and no reader data is ever sold. If this funding model changes, this page and the terms are updated first.
Can you look up who owns a number that is not mine?
No, and no legal site in Pakistan can do that for you. Sharing another person’s identity details is an offence under PECA 2016 Section 16. It carries up to 3 years in prison, a fine of up to Rs 5,000,000, or both. If a number is troubling you, report it to NCCIA on 1799 or PTA on 0800-55055.
Can I suggest a topic or report a gap?
Yes, and reader requests really do shape what gets written next. Several pages on this site exist only because someone asked for them. Use the contact page, and put “Topic” in the subject line. Tell us the exact question you could not find an answer to, and we will look into it.
