Your own CNIC only – 8-SIM limit explained ## Sitemaps [XML Sitemap](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/sitemap_index.xml): Includes all crawlable and indexable pages. ## Posts - [PTA WhatsApp SIM Advisory, Fact-Checked: Who Actually Gets Blocked (2026)](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/pta-whatsapp-sim-advisory-fact-check-2026/): PTA is not banning WhatsApp. Three dated 2026 advisories warn that accounts on inactive, cancelled or unverified SIMs may be blocked - no deadline, no blanket ban. Here is what the record says, who is actually at risk, and the 10-minute fix. - [eSIM in Pakistan 2026: PTA Caps the Fee at Rs 1,500 and Confirms 10 Free Transfers](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/pta-esim-rs-1500-cap-10-free-transfers-2026/): PTA has finalised its eSIM charging framework: the initial issuance fee is capped at Rs 1,500 and subscribers get up to 10 free transfers between compatible handsets. Announced 7 August 2026, effective mid-August. What it changes, and what it does not. - [RAABTA: PTA’s WhatsApp Assistant for SIM Checks — How to Use It (Works From Abroad)](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/raabta-pta-whatsapp-sim-check-2026/): RAABTA is PTA's official WhatsApp assistant on 0315-0055055. Message it to check the SIMs on your own CNIC, verify a device's IMEI status, or file a PTA complaint — and it works for overseas Pakistanis with no local SIM. - [NADRA Won’t Open Pak ID for Facial SIM Verification: What It Means for You (August 2026)](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/nadra-pta-facial-sim-verification-dispute-2026/): NADRA has refused to open its Pak ID app for facial SIM verification, disputing PTA's account and saying operators should run their own facial hardware. Reported 25 August 2026. The plan is still not in force, and your own CNIC check is unchanged. - [PTA Plans Facial Verification for SIMs After Fingerprint Failures](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/pta-esim-facial-verification-2026/): PTA told a Senate committee on 16 July 2026 that facial verification for SIMs is planned and a policy for at least 10 free eSIM transfers is being finalized. Neither is in force. - [Giving Your SIM to Someone Else: PTA’s Warning and Your Liability (2026)](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/sharing-your-sim-pakistan-warning/): Giving your SIM to another person is a punishable offence, PTA said again on Friday, 24 July 2026. Whatever is done on that SIM is attributed to the person it is registered to. The reporting carried no law section and no penalty figure. PTA had issued the same warning in June 2026. So read this as a repeated advisory on sharing your SIM in Pakistan, not a new rule. The useful half is PTA’s own advice, and it matches the two checks taught across Check SIM Owner Details Pakistan. - [PTA Tightens SIM Sales and Issuance Rules: What Changes for You (2026)](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/pta-tightens-sim-issuance-rules-2026/): PTA has told operators to tighten SIM sales and issuance, as reported on 24 July 2026. Biometric verification now covers duplicate SIMs, ownership transfer, SIM disowning and mobile number portability, and new SIMs may be issued only at authorised outlets. PTA has published no numbered circular or start date. - [PTA Penalises All Four Operators Over Illegal SIM Issuance (July 2026)](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/pta-fines-operators-sim-violations-2026/): One housekeeping note, as always. This report on the PTA fine mobile operators received states what PTA published and what named outlets reported, each with its date. Where the numbers disagree with each other, we say so instead of picking the one that reads best. - [PTA SIM Rules Roundup: What Changed and What Held (Mid-July 2026)](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/pta-sim-rules-week-mid-july-2026/): Mid-July 2026 SIM roundup: enforcement re-reported (the 3.2M deceased-CNIC enforcement-year tally, three arrests for selling telecom data) versus the rules that held — the 365-day lock, the 8-SIM cap (5 voice + 3 data) and the 8.1M expired-CNIC advisory. Every item dated and sourced. - [NCCIA Arrests 3 for Selling Telecom Data: Why No SIM Lookup Is Legal](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/telecom-data-sellers-arrested-2026/): The NCCIA arrested three men in July 2026 for allegedly selling citizens’ telecom data (Pakistan Today, 11 July), plus a Sahiwal raid recovering 329 illegal SIMs. The clearest proof that Pakistan has no legal SIM-owner lookup — only a black market being dismantled — and what to check on your own record instead. - [3.2 Million Deceased-CNIC SIMs Blocked: The Numbers, Untangled](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/deceased-cnic-sims-blocked-2026/): PTA’s enforcement year (Jul 2024 – Jun 2025) blocked 3.2 million+ SIMs on deceased CNICs and 891,000 dormant lines — figures back in the news on 12 July 2026. How they differ from NADRA’s 4.9M flagged list and the 8.1M expired-CNIC advisory, and what to check on your own record. - [NCCIA’s Enforcement Week: Data Sellers Held, 329 SIMs Seized, a WhatsApp Racket Busted](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/nccia-enforcement-week-july-2026/): Three NCCIA actions landed in one week, and every one began with a PTA complaint. Three men were arrested for allegedly selling citizens’ telecom data, a Sahiwal raid recovered 329 illegally activated SIMs, and a fake-WhatsApp-accounts case brought another arrest. Each story below carries its date and source, and each ends at the same place: your own record, checked via Check SIM Owner Details Pakistan. ## Pages - [Number Details Check in Pakistan: What a Mobile Number Can and Cannot Tell You](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/number-details-check/): Number details in Pakistan, honestly: a mobile number reveals its network (76367), its original prefix block and whether it is live - never a name, CNIC, address or location. Your own SIM's record comes from 667. - [SIM Verification Status Check: the Code PTA Lists for Every Network (Jazz 6001, Zong 7911, Telenor 7751, Ufone *336#, Warid 789)](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/sim-verification-status-check/): SIM verification status check ka matlab hai yeh maloom karna ke aap ki SIM biometric tareeqe se register hai ya nahi. PTA ki apni page (1 June 2023 ki, 28 August 2026 ko bhi live) har network ka code deti hai: Jazz par usi CNIC wali SIM se apna CNIC 6001 par bhejein, Telenor par koi bhi SMS 7751 par, Zong par “V” likh kar 7911 par — muft — aur Ufone par *336# dial kar ke 1 chunein. Warid ka purana rasta 789 tha, aur Warid ab Jazz ka hissa hai. - [Pakistan Database Agency (PakDB): The Real Agencies, and the Site That Is Just a Parked Page](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/pakistan-database-agency/): “Pakistan database agency” is two questions wearing one search. The bodies that actually run Pakistan’s databases are NADRA, keeper of the citizen registry, and the new Pakistan Digital Authority, set up under the Digital Nation Pakistan Act 2025 — and neither offers any public person-lookup. As for the lookup site people call “PakDB”: we opened pakdb.xyz from Pakistan on 28 August 2026 and found a parked advertising page — no search form, no records, only ad links. - [Sims Bio (sims.bio): What the Site Actually Is, and What It Can Never Show](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/sims-bio/): sims.bio did not open from a Pakistani connection when we tested it on 28 August 2026; the connection reset before any page arrived. More important: no website can pull a stranger’s SIM record in Pakistan, because the SIM registry opens no search window to the public. The real checks are your own — SMS your CNIC to 668 or use the free portal cnic.sims.pk — and taking anyone else’s identity data is an offence under Section 16 of PECA 2016. - [SIM Information in Pakistan: What You Can Check With a Number or CNIC](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/sim-information/): SIM information in Pakistan means three checkable facts: a number's network, a SIM's own registration status, and the count of SIMs against a CNIC. It never means a stranger's name or address, because no lawful service returns those from a number. Every official check sits below with its code, cost and source, starting from the record you already own: Check SIM Owner Details Pakistan. - [Image Use Policy](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/image-use-policy/): You may reuse our fact-card images free of charge, on personal and commercial sites alike, as long as you credit CnicSimInfo.pk visibly next to the image and link back to the page the card came from. Do not alter the figures inside a card. This image use policy covers our fact cards only. Last updated: 5 August 2026. - [667 SIM Owner Name: What the MNP Code Really Shows](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/667-sim-owner-name/): Text the word MNP to 667, and the reply shows who the SIM in your phone is registered to. That is the real 667 SIM owner name check. PTA's MNP Porting Process Guidelines list what comes back: the mobile number, the registered name, the CNIC and the activation date. The check works only from the SIM itself, so it can never name a stranger. An empty SMS to 667 is not the documented format — the message must be the single word MNP. It is step one of number portability, borrowed as the 667 SIM owner name self-check. The full lawful toolkit lives at Check SIM Owner Details Pakistan. - [CNIC Tracking in Pakistan: What It Really Means, and What Works](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/cnic-tracking/): CNIC tracking lawfully means three things in Pakistan: following your own NADRA ID card application, counting the SIMs registered against your own CNIC, and confirming that your own record is current. No lawful service traces a stranger through their CNIC. For applications, NADRA's channels are SMS code 8400, the Pak-ID app and the 1777 helpline. For SIMs, the channels are 668 and cnic.sims.pk, the same official pair behind Check SIM Owner Details Pakistan. Everything else sold under this phrase either recycles old leaked records or returns nothing at all, and taking another person's identity information is an offence under Section 16 of PECA 2016. - [SIM Owner Details APK: There Is No Official App](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/sim-owner-details-apps/): There is no official SIM owner details APK, and there never has been. PTA's SIM-information channels are a web portal at cnic.sims.pk, SMS short codes such as 668, and its WhatsApp Digital Assistant on 0315-0055055. None of these is an installable Android file. And no channel, official or otherwise, returns a stranger's name for a number. Every APK promising that result trades on a feature Pakistan's system does not offer, while the copy sitting on your phone is the real product. The lawful check is your own CNIC: Check SIM Owner Details Pakistan. - [PakSim GA, PakData CF and PakSim Pro: All Three Are Gone](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/pak-sim-ga/): PakSim GA, Pak Data CF and PakSim Pro no longer exist. We checked all three on 26 July 2026 through Google Public DNS, an external resolver. So nobody can call this a Pakistan-side block. Both paksim.ga and pakdata.cf return NXDOMAIN, which means those domains are not registered to anybody. paksim.pro still resolves, but only to a parking page saying its registration has expired. Pakdata ML, the fourth name people search, fails the same test: pakdata.ml returned NXDOMAIN when we checked it on 29 July 2026. Two of the three disappeared when Freenom's free-domain business collapsed, and the third simply lapsed. Search demand for these names outlived the services themselves. That is why new operators, none of whom identify themselves, have taken the names over. The only legal check is still your own CNIC: Check SIM Owner Details Pakistan. - [Minahil Sim Data: What This App Really Is (2026)](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/minahil-sim-data/): Minahil Sim Data cannot lawfully show you who owns someone else's number. Nothing in Pakistan can. The national SIM registry has no public search window for third parties. Its two official windows, 668 and cnic.sims.pk, answer only for the CNIC you send, about you. So any minahil sim data app or site promising owner lookups returns nothing real, or recycled leaked records. Getting another person's identity data that way is an offence under Section 16 of PECA 2016. The one legal check is your own: Check SIM Owner Details Pakistan. - [Pakistani Leaked Data: Is Your CNIC or SIM Exposed?](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/cnic-data-breach-check/): No official site tells you whether your CNIC appears in leaked data. Any page promising a live lookup of your ID card number is not safe to trust. To judge your real exposure, do three things. Read the Pakistani leaked data cases already on public record. Audit the SIMs registered to your CNIC on the free PTA portal. Then secure every account tied to your number. Most CNIC data leak listings sold online are old records resold, not fresh hacks. The wider toolkit sits at Check SIM Owner Details Pakistan. - [Check CNIC Details: What’s Public, What’s Private](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/check-cnic-details/): To check CNIC details in Pakistan, use NADRA’s Pak-ID app or id.nadra.gov.pk for online CNIC verification of your own card, and text your number to 8300 for your voter record. CNIC full form is Computerized National Identity Card, a unique 13-digit NADRA number. A stranger’s name, address and family stay private. CNIC owner details — the name and address behind a number — stay sealed with NADRA, and looking them up by number is an offence under PECA 2016 Section 16. The wider SIM toolkit sits at Check SIM Owner Details Pakistan. - [Live SIM Tracker Pakistan: The Truth, and What Actually Works](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/live-sim-tracker-pakistan/): There is no legal public live SIM tracker in Pakistan: location data requires a court-authorised process through law enforcement, and every “live tracker” app or site is fake, data-harvesting or malware. What works instead: your own count via 668, a number’s network via N plus the number to 76367, activation dates via cnic.sims.pk, and NCCIA 1799 for harassment. - [New SIM Waiting Period: The 7-Day Second-SIM Rule, Explained](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/new-sim-waiting-period/): Pakistan’s new-SIM waiting period is a seven-day wait before a second new SIM issues (effective 24 January 2024). First SIMs, duplicates, ownership transfers and MNP ports are exempt. It is a purchase-side rule — separate from the 365-day disowning lock — and since 19 May 2026 no new SIM sells between midnight and 6 AM. - [SIM Limit Per CNIC: 8 SIMs, 5 Voice Plus 3 Data](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/sim-limit-per-cnic/): The SIM limit per CNIC in Pakistan is 8 SIMs across all networks combined — 5 voice plus 3 data — set by the Supreme Court on 5 November 2015. Count yours by texting your 13-digit CNIC to 668 (about Rs 2) or on cnic.sims.pk; at the cap, disown an unused line at the franchise before adding another. Data SIMs in tablets and dongles count too. - [The 365-Day SIM Rule: No Disown or Transfer for a Year](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/365-day-sim-rule/): The 365-day SIM rule: since PTA’s advisory of 24 May 2026, a newly activated SIM cannot be disowned or transferred for 365 days from its activation date (the date shown on cnic.sims.pk). Blocking a lost SIM and reporting fraud to NCCIA 1799 still work. Proof chain: gazette L-7646 (11 May) to the advisory (24 May) to Geo’s “True” fact-check (4 June). - [PTA SIM Rules in Pakistan: the Complete Dated Timeline (2026)](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/pta-sim-rules-timeline/): The complete dated timeline of PTA SIM rules in Pakistan: the 2012 five-SIM cap, the Supreme Court’s 5 November 2015 order (8 SIMs: 5 voice + 3 data), the 1 January 2024 Rs 200 disowning fee, the 24 January 2024 seven-day wait, NCCIA’s 1799 helpline (3 June 2025), the 19 May 2026 night sales ban and the 24 May 2026 365-day lock — every entry dated and sourced. - [SIMs for Minors in Pakistan: the Guardian-CNIC Rule](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/sim-for-minors/): No SIM issues on a B-Form in Pakistan: a guardian’s CNIC carries the child’s SIM, and it counts toward the guardian’s 8-SIM cap (5 voice + 3 data) until the child turns 18 and gets a CNIC — then ownership transfers at the franchise, both present, biometric done. Tablets and data SIMs count too. - [A Deceased Relative’s SIMs: the Family Guide](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/deceased-person-sims/): Settling a deceased relative’s SIMs takes three documents — death certificate, the heir’s CNIC and NADRA’s FRC — at each operator’s franchise to block, transfer (biometric) or disown the lines, then cancel the CNIC at NADRA so nothing new registers on it. PTA’s enforcement year blocked 3.2M+ such SIMs; families should act within weeks. - [Expired CNIC and Your SIMs: Renew Before the Sweep](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/expired-cnic-sim/): An expired CNIC is now a SIM problem: PTA’s 8 April 2026 advisory flagged about 8.1 million SIMs on expired or unrenewed CNICs for phased suspension. Renew via the Pak-ID app, a NADRA centre or e-Sahulat — your number does not change — then re-run 668. No new SIMs, transfers or disowning until you renew. - [Reactivate a Blocked SIM: Diagnose First, Then the Franchise](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/reactivate-blocked-sim/): Reactivate a blocked SIM by diagnosing the cause first: dormancy, unverified BVS, an expired CNIC or an enforcement sweep — each has a different fix, but the universal route is the franchise with your original CNIC and a live biometric. Operators commonly quote windows around 180 days for dormant lines; confirm with yours, because long-dormant numbers can be recycled. - [Check Blocked SIMs on Your CNIC: the 3-Step Triangulation](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/check-blocked-sims-on-cnic/): Check blocked SIMs the honest way — no single code labels lines “blocked”: get your count from 668, activation dates from cnic.sims.pk, and per-line status from the operator’s helpline. Lines block for BVS failures, expired CNICs (8.1M flagged, 8 Apr 2026) and enforcement sweeps. - [Deactivate Extra SIMs: the Keepers-First Method](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/deactivate-extra-sim/): Deactivate extra SIMs the keepers-first way: list what you actually use, migrate banking and 2FA OTP numbers before touching anything, then disown the rest at each operator’s franchise, then re-run 668 to confirm. Discarding the plastic changes nothing — the registry entry lives until disowned. - [Block & Disown a SIM on Your CNIC: the Franchise Walkthrough](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/block-disown-sim-cnic/): Blocking stops a SIM’s service (helplines: Jazz 111, Zong 310, Telenor 345, Ufone 333, SCOM 355); disowning removes the registry entry at the franchise with your original CNIC and biometric — fee capped at Rs 200 since 1 Jan 2024, waived in fraud. Overseas: block by helpline now, disown on your next visit. - [Unauthorized SIM on Your CNIC? The Complete Action Plan](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/unauthorized-sim-on-cnic/): Found a SIM on your CNIC you never bought? The action plan: re-run 668 and cnic.sims.pk to confirm, rule out family/forgotten/ported lines, screenshot the count dated, then disown at that operator’s franchise (Rs 200 cap, waived in fraud) or report fraud to NCCIA 1799 — quickly, because new SIMs carry a 365-day lock. - [All Pakistan SIM Codes: the Complete Verified Reference (2026)](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/all-sim-codes-pakistan/): Every SIM code Pakistanis need, verified and dated: registry checks (668, cnic.sims.pk, 667, 76367), per-network own-number and BVS dials, device/IMEI codes (*#06#, 8484, ##002#) and reporting numbers (9000, 1799) — with the fake codes (like the mis-quoted “7622”) flagged. - [SCOM & ONIC SIM Check: the Two Networks Every Guide Skips](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/scom-onic-sim-check/): SCOM (the state network of AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan, helpline 355) and ONIC (PTML’s app-first, eSIM brand on Ufone’s network) are the two operators big guides skip. Both register in the national SVMS registry, so your SIM count comes from 668 or cnic.sims.pk like any network. - [Telenor Number Check Code: *8888#, and the Blank-SMS BVS Trick](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/telenor-number-check-code/): Find your Telenor number by dialling *8888# (community-standard — Telenor documents the My Telenor app) or use helpline 345. Telenor’s standout is its biometric check: send any SMS, even blank, to 7751. Now in the PTML group (merger by 1 July 2026), the codes and 0340-0349 prefixes stay live. - [Zong Number Check Code: *8# Fast, My Zong Guaranteed](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/zong-number-check-code/): Check your Zong number with the quick *8# dial (community-standard — Zong documents the My Zong app instead) or the guaranteed routes: My Zong after login, helpline 310, or call another handset. Biometric status: SMS V to 7911. Prefixes 0310-0319 and 0360-0369 are hints; porting makes 76367 the real answer. - [Jazz Number Check Code: *99#, Documented by Jazz Itself](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/jazz-number-check-code/): Check your Jazz number by dialling *99# from the SIM — free, on-screen in two seconds, works on zero balance, and documented on Jazz’s own Smart Tips page. Fallbacks: Jazz World app, helpline 111, or call another handset. Biometric status: SMS your CNIC to 6001. Ex-Warid 0320-0329 numbers answer the same codes. - [SIM Owner Details by Network: Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone, SCOM & ONIC — Your Checks, Your Codes](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/sim-owner-details-by-network/): Two kinds of SIM checks exist in Pakistan: registry checks (CNIC to 668 or cnic.sims.pk — all six operators in one reply) and per-network checks (own-number dials, BVS status, blocking) that differ by operator. This hub sorts every network’s codes, dated and labelled operator-documented vs community-standard. - [SIM Biometric Verification (BVS): Status Codes, Fixes and the Fingerprint Layer](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/biometric-verification-bvs/): SIM biometric verification is a live fingerprint match against NADRA. Every SIM sold in Pakistan must clear this CNIC SIM verification before it works. Each network runs a status channel: 6001 on Jazz, 7751 on Telenor, V to 7911 on Zong, and *336*1# on Ufone. PTA itself had to correct that last code. Unverified status has one cure, and it takes about 15 minutes at a franchise. The full toolkit lives at Check SIM Owner Details Pakistan. - [76367 Network Check: Which Network Is This Number On, Really?](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/76367-network-check/): The 76367 network check names the operator behind any Pakistani mobile number, today, in one SMS. Type N, add a space, then the number, and send it to 76367. It costs about Rs 2. The reply comes from PTA’s Mobile Number Portability records, so it tells you whether that 0300 is still Jazz or quietly became Zong three years ago. You get a network, never a name. That restraint is exactly why the code stays legal. The rest of the toolkit lives at Check SIM Owner Details Pakistan. - [667 SIM Check (MNP): Verify Any SIM in Your Hand, the Right Way](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/667-vs-668/): Send MNP to 667 from the SIM in your hand to confirm its registration against a masked identity (standard SMS rate); pair it with 668, which counts every SIM on your CNIC. Steps, reply anatomy, porting prep, myths and fixes. - [Find My SIM Number: Every Network’s Code on One Page](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/find-my-number-all-networks/): Find your SIM number on any Pakistani network: dial *99# on Jazz, *8# on Zong, *8888# on Telenor, *780*3# on Ufone — labelled official vs community, with fallbacks (operator app, call another phone, MNP to 667) that never retire. - [Ufone Number Check Code: *780*3#, Every Fallback, Every Fix](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/ufone-number-check-code/): The Ufone number check code is *780*3#. Dial it from the Ufone SIM and your number shows on screen, with balance or with none. When the code sulks, *1#, the UPTCL app and helpline 333 pick up the slack. One honesty note upfront. Ufone documents the app and 333 on its own site, while *780*3# is community practice. The full toolkit lives at Check SIM Owner Details Pakistan. - [Check SIMs on CNIC: The Count, the Limit, and Your Next Move](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/check-sims-on-cnic/): How to check SIMs on CNIC in 60 seconds: the 2 official ways (668 SMS and the free PTA portal cnic.sims.pk), the 8-SIM limit of 5 voice plus 3 data, and what to do when the count looks wrong. - [CNIC.SIMS.PK: The Free Portal That Counts Every SIM on Your CNIC](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/cnic-sims-pk-portal/): CNIC Sims PK simply means cnic.sims.pk. It is PTA's free official portal, and it counts every SIM registered on your CNIC — one row per network, split into voice-plus-data and data-only columns. Open it in any browser anywhere on earth, then enter your NADRA-issued CNIC; a NICOP or POC works just as well. Pass the CAPTCHA, and your full CNIC SIM information appears in seconds, dated the day you run it, with the voice/data split as the real advantage. The whole method family lives at Check SIM Owner Details Pakistan. - [668 SIM Check: Send One SMS, See Every SIM on Your CNIC](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/668-sim-check/): The 668 SIM check tells you how many SIMs are registered on your CNIC. Text your 13-digit ID card number, with no dashes, to 668. PTA's registry answers in about 30 seconds with a count for each network. One SMS costs about Rs 2 with tax. This page covers the exact format, the reply, and every fix for when nothing comes back. The wider picture sits at Check SIM Owner Details Pakistan. - [Pak SIM Data: What These “Databases” Really Are](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/pak-sim-data/): No SIM database in Pakistan can look up a stranger. Every "sim info", "sim data" or "sim database online" site that claims otherwise is selling a fiction. The real registry is PTA's SIM Information System 668 — many sites nickname it "SVMS" — and it has no public API for anyone. So these services hand you old breach scraps, made-up results, or both. They also harvest each number and CNIC you type in. The one legal SIM data check is your own record, through PTA's official 668 or cnic.sims.pk: Check SIM Owner Details Pakistan. - [SIM Owner Details by Number: The Honest, Legal Answer](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/sim-owner-details-by-number/): Can you get SIM owner details by number in Pakistan? No. As of August 2026, no public or legal service turns a stranger's number into a name, CNIC or address. That one answer also covers every "check SIM owner name by mobile number", "phone number details with name" and "mobile number owner details" search. - [Check SIM Owner Details in Pakistan: All 12 Official Methods, One Page](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/check-sim-owner-details/): To run a SIM owner details online check for your own CNIC, use one of two free official routes. SMS your 13-digit CNIC (no dashes) to 668 for about Rs 2, or open cnic.sims.pk free in any browser. Both read PTA's national SIM registry and answer inside a minute. That is the only legal SIM ownership check in Pakistan: each route reads your own record, never a stranger's. For the screenshot-by-screenshot version, see SIM Owner Details Pakistan; this page indexes all 12 official routes in one place. - [PTA SIM News: Every Rule Change, Dated and Sourced (2026 Changelog)](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/pta-sim-news/): The dated changelog of Pakistan SIM rule changes: every PTA advisory, court order and enforcement action logged with its date and named source — including the 365-day disowning lock (24 May 2026) and the merger timeline. - [Pakistan SIM Myths, Fact-Checked: 22 Viral Claims vs the Record](https://cnicsiminfo.pk/sim-myths-fact-check/): Most viral SIM myths in Pakistan are false. All 22 claims tested on this page fail against the official record. The pattern repeats: invented advisories, penalties no statute contains, and codes that promise what they cannot do. This page weighs 22 of the most-repeated claims against the record. The sources are PTA and NADRA notices, court orders and named press.
