Check SIM Owner Details in Pakistan — Free Official PTA Guide, Verified June 2026 The complete, fact-checked way to see every SIM owner detail linked to your CNIC across Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone, SCO & ONIC — 4 official PTA channels, including the new RAABTA WhatsApp assistant — 30 seconds, zero cost, zero data stored

PTA extended the SIM disowning/transfer window from 60 days to 365 days. The verified announcement date is May 24–25, 2026 — first reported by ARY News and ProPakistani, and independently confirmed as True by Geo Fact Check on May 28, 2026, after PTA Director General Ahmed Shamim told them directly: “a newly activated SIM cannot be deactivated before the completion of one year.” Note: some competing guides publish an incorrect “June 5, 2026” date for this announcement — this page uses the verified date. If you find a SIM you didn’t register, you can still file a PTA complaint immediately, and disowning a fraudulently issued SIM has always been free.

RAABTA is PTA’s official “Digital Assistant,” launched on WhatsApp on February 25–26, 2026 at 0315-0055055. Save the number, open WhatsApp, and send any message — a menu-driven system appears offering SIM owner details checks, IMEI/DIRBS device status verification, and direct complaint filing. It works from any country on any device, making it especially useful for overseas Pakistanis and NICOP holders who can’t easily send a Pakistani SMS.

Yes. Effective May 19, 2026, PTA directed all Cellular Mobile Operators to suspend SIM sale and activation nationwide between 12:00 AM and 6:00 AM, after data showed a disproportionate share of fraudulent registrations happened during those hours. If you receive a SIM activation confirmation SMS during this window, that activation is illegal — report it via RAABTA, the PTA Complaint Management System, or 0800-55055 right away.

If the SIM was fraudulently issued on your CNIC without your knowledge, disowning is completely free. For voluntary disowning of a SIM you knowingly registered, PTA has capped the fee at a maximum of Rs. 200, effective January 1, 2024 — operators cannot legally charge more. Always ask for a receipt confirming the fee charged, if any.

Even with the 365-day disowning window in place, take these steps immediately: (1) Screenshot the 668/cnic.sims.pk result with today’s date. (2) Call the relevant operator’s helpline and log a complaint — get a written reference number. (3) Visit the franchise with your original CNIC to have the issue formally documented — disowning is free if the SIM was fraudulently issued. (4) File a complaint at complaint.pta.gov.pk, call 0800-55055, or message RAABTA (0315-0055055) — PTA can investigate and act on the SIM even during the 365-day window. (5) File an FIA Cybercrime complaint at 1991 or a report with NCCIA if any financial fraud occurred. (6) Notify your bank and freeze mobile wallets.

Message RAABTA on WhatsApp (0315-0055055) or type MNP and send as SMS to 667 from the SIM you want to verify — reply in ~6 seconds with owner’s name, partially masked CNIC, network, and activation date. Only works for the SIM physically in your phone. For a free check of all SIMs on your CNIC, send your 13-digit CNIC to 668 (~30 sec) or open cnic.sims.pk (free, works from abroad).

Send 13-digit CNIC (no dashes) as SMS to 668 from any Pakistani phone. Per-operator count across all 6 networks in ~30 seconds. For a free detailed result with exact dates: open cnic.sims.pk, or message RAABTA (0315-0055055) on WhatsApp if you’re abroad. Under the 365-day disowning rule, knowing exact activation dates matters more than ever — cnic.sims.pk shows the activation timestamp for each SIM in your sim owner details record.

Send N [space] 03XXXXXXXXX to 76367. Example: type N 03001234567 then send to 76367. Returns the current active network for any Pakistani number — critical for ported numbers where the prefix no longer matches the operator. Always use 76367 before using network-specific USSD codes on numbers that may have been ported via MNP.

Maximum 8 SIMs per CNIC — 5 voice and 3 data-only, combined across all 6 operators. Upheld since the Supreme Court of Pakistan’s ruling of November 5, 2015 (CJ Anwar Zaheer Jamali). Exceeding either individual limit triggers DIRBS automated enforcement. The 365-day disowning rule does not change this cap — it only affects how quickly newly activated SIMs can be formally disowned or transferred. Foreign nationals and POC holders are limited to 2 SIMs.

Send MNP to 667 (owner name ~6s). All Jazz SIMs on CNIC: dial *321#, SMS CNIC to 668, or message RAABTA. BVS: SMS CNIC to 6001. Helpline: 111. App: My Jazz. Prefixes: 0300–0309, 0320–0329.

Send MNP to 667. All Zong SIMs: SMS CNIC to 310 or cnic.sims.pk. BVS: Send V to 7911. Helpline: 310. App: My Zong. Prefixes: 0310–0319, 0360–0365.

Send MNP to 667. All Telenor SIMs: dial *345#. BVS: SMS CNIC to 7751. Helpline: 345. App: My Telenor. Prefixes: 0340–0349.

ONIC is a PTML brand — the same parent company as Ufone — not an independently licensed operator, per PTA’s official clarification. It operates on 037X prefixes and is fully integrated into PTA’s SVMS — appears in 668 replies, cnic.sims.pk, and RAABTA. To verify ONIC SIM ownership: send MNP to 667. Network info: ONIC App or dial *345#. The 365-day disowning rule applies to all ONIC SIMs like any other.

(1) Screenshot the 668 + cnic.sims.pk result with date and activation timestamp. (2) Call the operator helpline — get a written complaint reference. Note the SIM’s activation date. (3) Visit the franchise with your original CNIC — request formal disowning, which is free for fraudulently issued SIMs. (4) File a complaint at complaint.pta.gov.pk, 0800-55055, or via RAABTA (0315-0055055) immediately regardless of the 365-day window. (5) Notify your bank, freeze wallets, change passwords. (6) Re-check monthly via 668 or RAABTA.

PTA’s automated enforcement can suspend unverified SIMs within 72 hours of detection. If your BVS check shows “Not Verified”: visit the nearest operator franchise with your original CNIC immediately. Re-verification is free and takes under 10 minutes. Do not wait — 72 hours is very little time. If your SIM is already suspended, visit the franchise for re-verification and reactivation.

No — PTA has stated that allowing another person to use a SIM registered in your name is a violation of Pakistani telecom law. PTA’s position is clear: “if a SIM registered under an individual’s identity is used for any unlawful activity, the registered owner will be held responsible.” Ensure every SIM in your sim owner details record is one you personally use.

Yes. cnic.sims.pk is accessible globally — no VPN or Pakistani SIM required. The RAABTA WhatsApp assistant (0315-0055055) also works from any country on any device. NICOP holders use their NICOP number. Since January 17, 2026, PTA also runs a dedicated SIM retention facility for overseas Pakistanis that helps keep a registered number active between visits, reducing unwanted suspensions. If you’re abroad and discover an unauthorized SIM, file a PTA complaint online at complaint.pta.gov.pk immediately — don’t wait until your return. For physical disowning: notarized Power of Attorney to a trusted family member in Pakistan.

Fake and illegal to use. PTA’s SVMS has no public API. These sites show fabricated data or 2020–2025 breach material while harvesting your CNIC. PKCERT September 2025 confirmed active Raccoon/RedLine malware distribution through such platforms. NCCIA separately named and banned 9 apps using terms like “Sim Owner Details” in August 2025 and dismantled 139 similar platforms in October 2025. Under PECA 2016, using such platforms risks up to 7 years imprisonment and Rs.5.7M fines for both operators and users. Use only 668, cnic.sims.pk, RAABTA, and 667.

SVMS (Subscriber Verification Management System) is PTA’s classified national database operated jointly with NADRA. For every active SIM it stores: full legal name on CNIC, 13-digit CNIC number, registered address, biometric status (via NADRA MBVS), exact activation date, operator network, and current SIM status. Citizens access their own record through 668, cnic.sims.pk, RAABTA, and 667. No third party has authorized access without a court order.

No — and it is a criminal offence. PECA 2016 Section 16 criminalizes accessing another person’s identity or SIM data without a court order. Combined penalties under Sections 3, 4, and 16 can reach 7 years imprisonment and Rs.5.7 million in fines — applied equally to both operators and users. PTA’s SVMS has no public API. Any site claiming to return a stranger’s full name and CNIC from their phone number is showing fabricated data or breach-recycled material.

668, cnic.sims.pk, and RAABTA pull data in real time from PTA’s live SVMS — accurate and updated instantly when any SIM is registered, transferred, or blocked. Third-party sites show one of three things: data from Pakistan’s documented telecom breaches (2020–2025), randomly fabricated records designed to look authentic, or data from other countries entirely. There is no comparison — official channels are accurate, third-party sites are not.

Yes — exactly one: cnic.sims.pk. This is PTA’s official free citizen portal. It is completely free, requires no signup, returns real-time SVMS data with exact registration dates, works from any country, and produces a printable record accepted by courts, banks, and police stations. No other website has legitimate access to this data. SimOwner.net.pk is purely an educational guide — we direct you to these official channels and explain how to use them. We do not maintain any database of our own.

Yes. eSIM registrations follow identical PTA biometric verification requirements as physical SIMs. Jazz, Zong, and Telenor currently offer eSIM in Pakistan’s major cities. An eSIM entry appears in your 668 reply and cnic.sims.pk record exactly like a physical SIM entry — same registration date, same BVS status, same operator attribution — and counts toward your 8-SIM cap. The 365-day disowning window applies equally to eSIM activations.

Six common signals: (1) 668 shows more SIMs than you personally registered. (2) You receive OTPs for transactions you didn’t initiate. (3) Your phone loses complete signal with no operator outage — possible SIM swap. (4) Banks or financial services contact you about accounts or loans you never opened. (5) You receive legal notices about activity you don’t recognize. (6) Your own SIM is blocked by PTA without any warning — possible DIRBS enforcement triggered by criminals exceeding your CNIC limit. Any single one of these is a reason to immediately check your sim owner details via 668 or RAABTA.

Four habits: (1) Monthly 668 or RAABTA check — unauthorized SIMs are the primary route to wallet compromise. (2) Enable in-app biometric authentication on both apps. (3) Use unique transaction PINs rotated regularly. (4) Treat any sudden, complete signal loss as a possible SIM swap — call your operator from another phone immediately and request an emergency account freeze.

Act within minutes: (1) Call your operator’s helpline from another phone immediately — Jazz: 111, Zong: 310, Telenor: 345, Ufone: 333. (2) Call your bank’s 24/7 helpline and request an immediate account freeze. (3) Log into JazzCash and Easypaisa from WiFi and change PINs. (4) Change your email password. (5) Open cnic.sims.pk on WiFi to document the current sim owner details record with a timestamp.

Biometric re-verification confirms the fingerprint used to originally register your SIM still matches NADRA’s record. You need it when: your operator sends a “re-verification required” SMS, your BVS status check shows “Not Verified” or “Pending,” PTA’s DIRBS system flags your SIM during an enforcement sweep, or you haven’t verified in over 2 years. Failing re-verification can trigger suspension within 72 hours. Visit any official operator franchise with your original CNIC — free, under 10 minutes.

The official process is “SIM Disowning.” Steps: (1) Visit the operator’s official franchise with only your original CNIC. (2) Tell the counter staff: “I want to disown an unauthorized SIM registered on my CNIC.” (3) Complete the biometric fingerprint scan. (4) Sign the disowning form. (5) Keep the reference receipt permanently. Disowning is free if the SIM was fraudulently issued; voluntary disowning is capped at Rs. 200. Under the verified 365-day policy, formal disowning of a very recently activated SIM may take up to one year — file a PTA complaint at 0800-55055 immediately in that case and let PTA investigate. Disowned SIMs are permanently and irreversibly blocked.

Insert the Ufone SIM into your phone and send MNP to 667 — owner name, masked CNIC, and activation date arrive in ~6 seconds. To see all Ufone SIMs on your CNIC: dial *333#. For biometric verification status: send V to 7911. Ufone helpline: 333. Official app: My Ufone. Ufone prefixes: 0330–0339. For all Ufone SIMs across your CNIC: SMS CNIC to 668, cnic.sims.pk, or RAABTA.

Send N [space] 03XXXXXXXXX to 76367. Example: type N 03001234567 and send to 76367. This returns the current active network for any Pakistani number — essential for ported numbers where the prefix no longer matches the carrier. Prefix-based identification is a useful quick guide but unreliable for ported numbers. Always verify with 76367 before using any network-specific USSD code.

Jazz (including Mobilink and former Warid numbers) uses prefixes 0300–0309 and 0320–0329. Jazz is Pakistan’s largest network with approximately 82 million subscribers. To verify a Jazz SIM: insert it and send MNP to 667. For all Jazz SIMs on your CNIC: dial *321#. Biometric status: SMS your CNIC to 6001. Helpline: 111. App: My Jazz. For the most complete sim owner details check covering Jazz alongside all other networks: SMS CNIC to 668 or message RAABTA.

Insert the SCO SIM and send MNP to 667 for owner details. SCO covers Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan on prefixes 0355, 0356, and 0357. Helpline: 321. SCO SIMs are fully integrated into PTA’s national SVMS — they appear in 668, cnic.sims.pk, and RAABTA checks from anywhere in Pakistan.

Insert the SIM from the second-hand phone into your device and send MNP to 667. The reply confirms the registered owner. If the name doesn’t match the person who sold you the phone: do not use that SIM. To legally transfer the SIM to your name, both the previous owner and you must visit the operator’s franchise together — both with original CNICs — for a formal biometric ownership transfer. If the SIM was activated recently, the transfer may be affected by the 365-day disowning window. Using a SIM registered to someone else’s CNIC creates legal exposure for you, even with verbal consent from the previous owner.

Within 24 hours: (1) File a police FIR. (2) Visit NADRA — report loss, request a fraud flag, begin CNIC replacement. (3) Send CNIC to 668 immediately and screenshot the result with timestamp. (4) Visit each relevant operator’s franchise to block or disown any unauthorized SIMs found — recently activated ones fall under the 365-day disowning window, so file a PTA complaint immediately for those. (5) Change all banking, email, JazzCash, and Easypaisa passwords. (6) Replace SMS-OTP with an authenticator app. (7) Notify your bank and request enhanced monitoring.

Deceased CNICs are primary targets for unauthorized SIM registration — PTA data shows roughly 1.5 million SIMs currently active against deceased persons’ identities nationwide. Act promptly: (1) Check the deceased’s CNIC record on cnic.sims.pk immediately. (2) Take to the operator franchise: Family Registration Certificate (FRC) from NADRA, official death certificate, and next of kin’s original CNIC. (3) Request formal deactivation or ownership transfer for each SIM. (4) Report any unauthorized SIMs found to PTA at 0800-55055 or via RAABTA.

Yes. Businesses register SIMs under their NTN (National Tax Number), not a personal CNIC. The 8-SIM limit applies exclusively to personal CNICs. PTA offers a formal corporate SIM exemption process for large-volume organizational needs, requiring an NTN certificate, Board Resolution, and representative CNIC. Corporate SIM management must be done at the operator’s Corporate Services Centre — standard citizen verification methods (668, cnic.sims.pk, RAABTA, 667) do not apply to NTN-registered SIMs.

Four channels depending on the issue: (1) Spam calls, network-rule violations, unauthorized sim owner details sites: complaint.pta.gov.pk, call 0800-55055, or message RAABTA (0315-0055055). (2) Financial fraud, blackmail, identity theft, PECA violations: complaint.fia.gov.pk or call 1991 (FIA Cybercrime Wing). NCCIA also handles data-sale platform complaints. (3) Physical threats or extortion: FIR at nearest police station. (4) CNIC-related identity fraud: 051-111-786-100 (NADRA). Always preserve evidence before filing.

SIM ownership transfer requires both parties at an official operator franchise — it cannot be done remotely or online. Required documents: current owner’s original CNIC and new owner’s original CNIC. For a deceased person’s SIM: Family Registration Certificate + death certificate + next of kin’s CNIC. Verified 2026 update: SIMs activated recently fall under the 365-day disowning/transfer window — check the activation date on cnic.sims.pk before visiting. Transfer times vary by operator, typically same business day to a few business days.

Three distinct actions: Block — suspends services temporarily, SIM remains in your CNIC’s sim owner details registry, can be unblocked. Disown — permanently removes the SIM from your CNIC record, cannot be reactivated by anyone; done at a franchise with biometric verification; free for fraud, capped at Rs. 200 for voluntary disowning; subject to the 365-day window for recently activated SIMs. Deactivate — fully terminates the SIM, irreversible; done by PTA enforcement order or after prolonged failed BVS verification. For unauthorized SIMs: always choose Disown, not just Block.

PTA recommends at least once per month via 668, cnic.sims.pk, or RAABTA (all free, under a minute). Given the verified 365-day disowning window and ongoing biometric enforcement sweeps, monthly checks matter more than ever. Also check immediately when: your SIM loses unexpected signal, you receive suspicious calls claiming to be from PTA or NADRA, you hear about a telecom data breach, your CNIC is lost or stolen, or a family member passes away.

“Fresh SIM data” or “Pak SIM data” simply means the current, real-time PTA record — updated the instant any SIM is registered, transferred, biometrically verified, or deactivated. When you use 668, cnic.sims.pk, RAABTA, or 667, you are already accessing the freshest possible sim owner details directly from PTA’s live SVMS. There is no premium or “fresher” version. Any service charging for “fresh SIM data” is selling fabricated information or material recycled from Pakistan’s documented 2020–2025 breach history — by definition, because no third party has authorized SVMS access.
