SIM Information System – Check Any Number’s Details in Pakistan

Curious about an unknown number? The SIM Information System reveals the details behind any Pakistani mobile number — owner name, network, and registration info. For instant results, use the Live Tracker search box on our homepage.

Find SIM Information in Pakistan

Are you trying to locate unknown numbers in Pakistan? If so, then SIM Information is your ultimate resource. SIM Information is an online search engine specialized in helping users track down and verify contact information, including phone numbers, in Pakistan.

What Is the SIM Information System?

The SIM Information System is an online lookup service for Pakistani mobile numbers. Since every SIM in Pakistan is registered with a CNIC, each number carries a record: who owns it, which network it runs on, and whether it is active.

Our system reads that record and shows it to you in seconds — free, with no sign-up.

What Details Can You Get?

Works on All Pakistani Networks

Network	Support
Jazz / Mobilink	Full lookup
Telenor Pakistan	Full lookup

No matter the network, one search covers it all.

How to Use the SIM Information System

1. Open the Live Tracker homepage.
2. Enter the mobile number in the search box.
3. Press Search and wait a few seconds.
4. Read the result card with the number’s details.

Identify and Block Unknown Callers

Unknown calls are annoying — and sometimes risky. With SIM information, you can:

• See who is behind repeated unknown calls
• Decide whether to answer, block, or report the number
• Share accurate details if you file a complaint

Tip: block spam numbers directly from your phone’s call log after identifying them.

Trace a Lost or Stolen Phone

If your phone is lost or stolen, your SIM record helps:

• Confirm the number is still registered in your name
• Contact your operator to block the SIM at once
• Issue a replacement SIM on the same number with your original CNIC

Act fast — an active SIM in the wrong hands is a fraud risk.

Pakistan’s SIM Information System (SVMS) Explained

Every SIM sold in Pakistan is registered in one central place. It is called the Subscriber Verification Management System, or SVMS. PTA — the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority — built and runs it. All mobile operators in Pakistan, including Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone, and SCO, must report every new SIM sale to SVMS before the SIM is activated.

So what does SVMS actually store? For each active SIM, it stores the mobile number, the operator name, the 13-digit CNIC (or NICOP for overseas Pakistanis) the SIM is registered against, the date the SIM was activated, and a record of the biometric verification that was done at the time of sale. In simple words, SVMS is the national master list that answers one question: “Which SIMs are registered on this CNIC?”

Who can access SVMS? Only PTA itself, the mobile operators for their own records, and law enforcement agencies working on authorized cases. A private citizen cannot log into SVMS directly. Instead, PTA gives citizens three narrow windows into the system, and only for their own identity: the 668 SMS service, the 667 MNP check, and the cnic.sims.pk web portal. Each window is explained in detail below.

This is also why you should never trust a website that claims it can show you “anyone’s” SIM information. No public website has access to SVMS. Any site promising to reveal a stranger’s full name, CNIC number, or home address from just a phone number is not connected to PTA. At best it shows made-up data; at worst it steals your own information or infects your phone. Under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act 2016 (PECA 2016), buying or selling someone else’s personal subscriber data is a punishable offence — so anyone offering paid “SIM data” is breaking the law, not providing a service. For a deeper walkthrough of what the official checks show and don’t show, read our SIM owner details guide.

668 vs 667 vs cnic.sims.pk: Which Method Should You Use?

Pakistan’s telecom regulator gives you three official ways to check SIM information, and each one answers a slightly different question. Picking the right one saves you time. Here is how they compare.

Method	What you send	What you get back	Cost	Speed	Best for
SMS to 668	Your 13-digit CNIC (no dashes), sent to 668	The count of SIMs registered on your CNIC, broken down per operator (Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone, SCO), with masked mobile numbers	~Rs. 2 + tax per SMS	A few seconds to about a minute	Quick full audit of your own CNIC, works on any phone, no internet needed
MNP to 667	The text MNP, sent to 667 from the SIM in your phone	That SIM’s registered owner name and partly masked CNIC, its activation date, and current network	~Rs. 2 or free (varies by operator)	Seconds	Checking one specific SIM you physically hold — for example, before trusting a used phone or a SIM someone gave you
cnic.sims.pk	Enter your CNIC or NICOP number on the PTA portal, complete the CAPTCHA	Same per-operator SIM list as 668, plus activation dates — a detailed, on-screen record	Free	Immediate	The most detailed free check; works from any browser, including from abroad

The simple rule: use 668 when you want a fast audit of everything on your CNIC. Use 667 when you have one particular SIM in your hand and want to confirm whose name it is registered under. Use cnic.sims.pk when you want the fullest picture for free — it is also the only method that works when you are outside Pakistan, since the SMS methods only work on Pakistani networks.

One important note: 668 and the portal show SIMs registered on your own CNIC. They will not show you the SIMs of another person. That is by design — subscriber records are private, and PTA only lets you audit your own identity. If you want to understand the broader topic of CNIC-linked records, our CNIC information guide explains how CNIC verification works.

How to Read Your SIM Registration Record

When you open cnic.sims.pk and enter your CNIC, the portal shows a table of every SIM registered on your identity. Here is what each part of that result means, so nothing confuses you.

Operator column: This shows which company issued each SIM — Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone, or SCO. Each operator gets its own row or section, so you can see your exposure network by network.

Number of SIMs: This is the count per operator. Add them up. The total across all operators must not be more than the legal limit: a maximum of 8 SIMs per CNIC (5 voice SIMs and 3 data-only SIMs). If the total is higher than you expected, keep reading — the next section tells you exactly what to do.

Masked mobile numbers: The portal shows each number partially hidden, like 0300-XXXXXXX. Masking protects your privacy, because this screen sometimes gets screenshotted and shared. The masked view is still enough for you to recognize which numbers are yours — you can usually tell from the prefix and the digits you know.

Activation dates: Each row shows when the SIM was activated. This is surprisingly useful. If you see a SIM activated in 2021 that you have never owned, that is a red flag. Match the dates against your own memory of when you bought each SIM.

What if a number looks unfamiliar? Do not ignore it. First, compare against SIMs in old devices, dongles, or tablets — data SIMs count toward your limit too, and many people forget the dongle SIM they bought years ago. Check with family members, in case a SIM was taken in your name for a child or a relative (this is still your legal responsibility). If after all that a number is still unfamiliar, treat it as unauthorized and move to the blocking steps in the next sections — do not delay, because every SIM on your CNIC is legally your responsibility until it is disowned.

Biometric Verification (BVS): What Happens at the Franchise

Since 2016, Pakistan has required biometric verification for every new SIM. That means you cannot buy a SIM with just a paper copy of your CNIC. You must physically visit a franchise, customer service center, or authorized retailer, and press your thumb on a biometric device.

Here is what happens at the counter, step by step. The staff member takes your original CNIC and enters its number into the operator’s system. You then place your thumb on the Biometric Verification System (BVS) device. The device sends your fingerprint to NADRA — the National Database and Registration Authority — which checks whether the thumbprint matches the fingerprint record attached to that CNIC. If NADRA confirms a match, the sale is approved and the SIM is activated in your name. The whole check usually takes less than a minute. If the fingerprints do not match — for example, because of worn prints from manual labor — the sale is refused.

Why is this process so strict? Because before biometric verification, thousands of SIMs were issued on stolen or fake CNIC copies and used in fraud and crime. Biometric matching makes sure that the person standing at the counter is the same person whose CNIC is being used. This is also why you must never lend your thumbprint or your CNIC to anyone — not to a friend, not to a shopkeeper who offers to “help,” and not for any cash offer. If a SIM is activated on your biometric verification, it is legally yours, and anything done with that SIM — including fraud — traces back to you. PTA has raided franchises and arrested staff for misusing biometric devices to issue SIMs illegally, so this is not a theoretical warning. If someone pressures you for your fingerprint, walk away and report the shop to PTA at 0800-55055 or through complaint.pta.gov.pk. Buying a SIM takes ten minutes; living with a fraud case on your CNIC can take years.

Found an Unauthorized SIM? Block It Step by Step

Finding a SIM on your CNIC that you never bought is stressful, but the process to remove it is straightforward. Follow these steps in order, and keep written proof at every stage.

Step 1 — Confirm the details. Run a fresh check on cnic.sims.pk and note down the operator name, the masked number, and the activation date. Take a screenshot with the date visible. This is your evidence.

Step 2 — Identify the operator and call its helpline. Use the official customer care numbers: Jazz 111, Telenor 345, Zong 310, Ufone 333 (calls from your own network). Tell them you found an unauthorized SIM registered on your CNIC and ask for the complaint procedure. Note down the complaint reference number they give you.

Step 3 — Visit the operator’s franchise with your original CNIC. Walk into the relevant operator’s franchise or customer service center — not a roadside retailer. Carry your original CNIC. Ask for a SIM disowning request for the specific unauthorized number. They will verify you biometrically and process the removal. Get a written receipt or SMS confirmation of the request — do not leave without one.

Step 4 — Re-check after 7 to 14 days. Run the 668 SMS or the cnic.sims.pk check again. The unauthorized SIM should be gone from your record. If it is still there, go back to the franchise with your receipt and ask why the request was not processed.

Step 5 — Escalate to PTA if the operator ignores you. If the franchise refuses to help, delays beyond a reasonable time, or the SIM reappears, file a complaint with PTA’s Complaint Management System. The official channels are: the consumer helpline 0800-55055 (toll-free) and the online portal complaint.pta.gov.pk. When you file, include the operator’s name, your CNIC, the unauthorized number, the dates of your franchise visit, and the complaint reference number from Step 2. PTA requires complaints to first go through the operator, so your earlier complaint reference proves you followed the process. According to PTA’s own press releases, citizens are specifically asked to report unauthorized SIMs through 0800-55055 or the online portal, and PTA has raided and shut down franchises involved in illegal SIM issuance — your complaint genuinely matters. (Sources: PTA press release, 10 Dec 2025 and PTA press release, 22 Jul 2025.)

Step 6 — If identity theft or fraud is involved. If the unauthorized SIM was used for fraud in your name, or your CNIC was clearly stolen or forged, report separately to the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) through their cybercrime reporting channels. Under PECA 2016, unauthorized use of someone’s identity data is a criminal offence — do not treat it as just a paperwork problem if money or threats are involved.

A note on disowning charges: PTA has capped the SIM disowning charge (around Rs. 200 at most), and where a SIM was issued illegally without your knowledge or consent, PTA grants a waiver. Never pay a middleman or an unofficial website to “remove” a SIM from your CNIC — only the operator and PTA can do that, and anyone charging you for it is running a scam.

New FAQs

How many SIMs can I legally register on one CNIC in Pakistan? A maximum of 8 SIMs per CNIC across all operators combined — 5 voice (regular calling) SIMs and 3 data-only SIMs (dongles, tablets, MiFi devices). This limit was set by the Supreme Court of Pakistan and is enforced through PTA’s SVMS system. Claims that you can register 5 SIMs per network (25 total) are false — the limit is 8 in total. Every data SIM counts, so check your full record on cnic.sims.pk before buying a new one.

Is the 668 SMS service free? Not fully free. Sending your CNIC to 668 costs about Rs. 2 plus tax, and the reply usually arrives within a minute. If you want a completely free check, use cnic.sims.pk — PTA’s official web portal — which costs nothing, shows more detail including activation dates, and works from outside Pakistan too.

Can I check SIM information for someone else’s CNIC? No. The 668 service and the cnic.sims.pk portal only return records linked to the CNIC you enter, and they are designed for checking your own identity. You cannot pull up a stranger’s name, address, or CNIC from a phone number. Anyone offering to do this for a fee is operating illegally under PECA 2016 — stay away and report them to PTA at 0800-55055.

What should I do if a franchise refuses to remove an unauthorized SIM? First, make sure you have your complaint reference number from the operator’s helpline and a receipt from your franchise visit. Then escalate to PTA: call the toll-free helpline 0800-55055 or file a complaint at complaint.pta.gov.pk with the operator’s name, the unauthorized number, and your earlier complaint reference. PTA requires you to approach the operator first, so these records prove you followed the process.

Can overseas Pakistanis check their SIM information? Yes. The cnic.sims.pk portal works from any country — NICOP holders can enter their NICOP number instead of a CNIC. The SMS methods (668 and 667) only work on Pakistani mobile networks, so the web portal is the right choice when you are abroad. It is free, needs no registration, and shows your complete per-operator SIM record.
