About CnicSimInfo & Muhammad Hamza

CnicSimInfo is a free, independent guide that shows Pakistanis how to check the SIMs registered on their own CNIC through official PTA and NADRA channels — and how to stay safe from SIM and identity fraud. It is written and maintained by Muhammad Hamza, and every fact on it is checked against a named official or credible source. Last reviewed: 6 July 2026.

Founder & Editor, CnicSimInfo

I started CnicSimInfo because almost every “SIM owner details” page in Pakistan repeats the same myths and, worse, runs illegal lookup tools that put people’s data at risk. I read the actual PTA notices, NADRA advisories and court rulings, and turn them into plain, honest answers you can trust — in English and Roman-Urdu. I review the whole guide every quarter so it stays current.

About CnicSimInfo: What This Guide Is — and Is Not

The goal is simple: be the one Pakistani SIM-information resource that is accurate, legal and genuinely useful. Everything here is built around checking your own identity safely.

✅ What CnicSimInfo is

  • A free guide to official self-checks (668, cnic.sims.pk, 667, 76367)
  • Plain-English and Roman-Urdu, written for Pakistani readers
  • 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 is illegal (PECA 2016 Section 16)
  • No paid data and no “premium on WhatsApp” offers
  • No storing or selling of your CNIC or numbers
  • No invented “advisories”, fake penalties or drifting statistics

Who Writes This & Why You Can Trust It

About CnicSimInfo — editor Muhammad Hamza, official sources and the no-lookup rule

I’m Muhammad Hamza, the founder and editor of CnicSimInfo. I spend my time following Pakistan’s telecom and identity rules closely, so you don’t have to dig through scattered notices and contradictory websites.

  • I read primary sources. PTA notices and short-code lists, NADRA advisories, Supreme Court reporting, PECA 2016, and PKCERT/NCCIA enforcement updates.
  • I write from real use. The 668 SMS, the cnic.sims.pk portal, 667, 76367 and the biometric codes are all explained from how they actually behave.
  • I correct the myths openly. Where other pages get the SIM limit, dates or penalties wrong, this guide sets them straight with the verified figure and its source.
  • I update on a schedule. The whole guide is reviewed every quarter, and the “last reviewed” date is kept current.

How We Source & Fact-Check

Every figure on this site has to earn its place. Here is the standard we hold ourselves to:

  • Named sources only. If a number or date can’t be traced to PTA, NADRA, the Supreme Court, PKCERT, NCCIA or a serious news outlet, we leave it out.
  • No drifting statistics. When a “fact” appears as different numbers on different sites, we treat it as fabricated and don’t publish it.
  • Corrections welcome. If you ever find something out of date or wrong, contact us and we’ll check it and fix it — openly.
  • Privacy first. We store no CNIC or phone numbers, run no lookup, and never sell data. The checker tool works entirely in your 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”, “198 million SIMs”, or any third-party lookup box. None of these are real or legal.

Contact & Corrections

Spotted an error, or have a question about checking the SIMs on your CNIC? We’d genuinely like to hear from you — reader corrections are part of how this guide stays accurate.

You can reach us through the contact page. For official help, PTA’s consumer line is 0800-55055 (complaint.pta.gov.pk) and the FIA/NCCIA cybercrime helpline is 1799 (formerly FIA’s 1991).

Check SIM Owner Details Pakistan

How a page about SIMs actually gets made

The routine behind everything you read about CnicSimInfo publishing: a change appears (a PTA advisory, a NADRA notice, a court order). It gets verified against a second independent source, and the codes involved get re-tested on the editor’s own SIMs where that’s legal and possible. Only then does a dated page go live. Claims that fail verification don’t get quietly skipped. They get documented on the myths page with a verdict, because the fastest way to help readers is to name what’s false, not just repeat what’s true.

Are you affiliated with PTA, NADRA or any operator?

No. CnicSimInfo is fully independent, and that independence is load-bearing: it’s why the site can say plainly which viral claims are fabricated and which official services actually work as advertised.

Why trust a one-editor site over a big portal?

Don’t trust either on reputation; trust the receipts. Every fact about CnicSimInfo’s pages traces to a named source you can check yourself. Corrections are public, and the site runs no lookup tool, so it has no incentive to exaggerate anything.

How is the site funded?

Clearly labeled ads. No paid lookups (those are illegal), no sponsored posts, no selling of anything. If that funding model ever changes, this about page and the terms change first.

Can I suggest a topic or report a gap?

Yes, and it genuinely shapes the roadmap: several pages exist because readers asked. Use the contact page with “Topic” in the subject line.
