Pak SIM data refers to the registration records maintained by PTA and NADRA for every active SIM card in Pakistan data that includes the registered CNIC, the mobile network operator, the SIM’s biometric verification status, and the activation date.
This data is held exclusively within PTA’s national SIM Information System and is not publicly accessible as a bulk dataset.
In informal online usage, however, the same phrase is used by illegal platforms to describe downloadable files, searchable databases, or lookup tools that claim to expose full personal details — including names, addresses, and CNIC numbers — for any mobile number in Pakistan.
These platforms are not affiliated with PTA or NADRA in any way. The data they present is either fabricated, stolen from breached sources, or scraped from insecure systems without authorization.
The only official nationwide source for SIM registration verification in Pakistan is PTA’s SIM Information System, accessible through cnic.sims.pk online and via the 668 SMS code from any mobile phone.
Official Methods to Check Your Pak SIM Data
PTA provides three primary official channels for accessing your own SIM data. Each channel is legal, free or nearly free, and returns data directly from the national SIM registry:
Method 1: cnic.sims.pk
Visit cnic.sims.pk in your browser. Enter your 13-digit CNIC without dashes and complete the CAPTCHA. You will see an operator-by-operator breakdown of every SIM currently registered under your CNIC — across Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone, and SCOM. This portal is entirely free of charge and is the most comprehensive way to review your full SIM registration picture at any given moment.
Method 2: SMS to 668
Type your 13-digit CNIC without dashes and send it to 668 from any Pakistani SIM. PTA replies within seconds with the active SIM count per operator. This method works even on basic feature phones without internet access and costs Rs. 2 plus applicable taxes per query.
Method 3: 667 — Individual SIM Verification
For checking a specific SIM that is physically in your phone, send MNP to 667. PTA and the relevant operator will reply with the registered owner’s name, partial CNIC, and activation date of that specific SIM. This is your go-to method when you want to verify a single SIM’s registration details rather than the full CNIC-level count.
Method 4: Operator Helplines and Official Apps
Each major operator provides official customer service channels for detailed SIM information. Jazz: 111 or *99#. Zong: 310 or *310#. Telenor: 345 or *345#. Ufone: 333 or *336#. SCOM: 711. All operators also offer free official apps on Google Play and the App Store that provide SIM status, biometric verification status, and account information. These methods are particularly useful when you want to confirm a specific SIM’s details beyond what 668 shows.
Why Unofficial Pak SIM Data Sources Are Dangerous
Platforms branded as “Pak SIM Data,” “SIM database,” “CNIC tracker,” or “SIM owner lookup” typically advertise the ability to display a person’s full name, home address, complete CNIC number, and all registered mobile numbers — simply by entering any phone number into a search bar. These claims are technically fraudulent and legally criminal.
Here is why these platforms are dangerous:
- The data is not PTA-sourced. PTA has never made bulk SIM registration data publicly accessible. Any platform claiming otherwise is lying about its source.
- The data may be stolen. Some platforms use records extracted from telecom data breaches or bought from rogue employees of mobile operators. Using this data exposes you to criminal liability under PECA 2016 Sections 3, 4, and 16.
- The data is often fabricated or outdated. Many platforms return convincing-looking but completely invented data — meaning the information you receive is worthless and potentially harmful if acted upon.
- The platforms harvest your data. When you enter your CNIC or phone number into these interfaces, you are not checking someone else’s data — you are handing your own personal information to an unregulated, potentially criminal operation.
- Criminal liability extends to users. The FIA actively investigates and prosecutes both the operators of these services and the individuals who pay for or use them.
Even reputable Pakistani technology and news sources note that unofficial SIM databases are not sanctioned by PTA, frequently contain misappropriated data, and pose serious risks to users who interact with them.

What to Do If You Find Extra SIMs in Your Pak SIM Data
After checking your SIM data through 668 or cnic.sims.pk, compare the counts per operator with the SIMs you actually own and actively use. If the numbers match perfectly, your CNIC is clean — keep a record of your results and recheck every few months.
If you see more SIMs than you use — for example, PTA’s 668 reply shows Jazz: 3 but you only own one Jazz SIM — those excess connections may have been fraudulently registered on your CNIC without your knowledge or consent. This is a serious situation that requires immediate action:
- Identify the relevant operator from the 668 reply
- Visit that operator’s Customer Service Centre or franchise in person with your original CNIC
- Request formal disowning or forced blocking of the unauthorized SIM
- Complete the required biometric verification and sign the disowning declaration
- The operator will process the request and notify the unauthorized SIM’s user that the connection is being removed
- After 15 to 20 days, re-check via 668 or cnic.sims.pk to confirm the SIM count has dropped
If you encounter resistance from the operator, escalate immediately to PTA at complaint.pta.gov.pk or via the free helpline 0800-55055. For any criminal activity linked to the unauthorized SIM, file a formal complaint with the FIA at complaint.fia.gov.pk or by calling 9911.

Pak SIM Data Limits — How Many SIMs Can Your CNIC Hold?
Under PTA’s 2026 regulations, a single CNIC or NICOP can hold a maximum of 8 SIMs in total — 5 voice SIMs and 3 data-only (MBB/tablet) SIMs — across all operators combined. If your 668 check reveals a total count that exceeds what you personally own, the excess SIMs must be disowned immediately. Exceeding either threshold triggers automatic suspension of all SIMs registered to that CNIC until excess registrations are resolved.
| SIM Type | Maximum Allowed |
|---|---|
| Voice SIMs | 5 (across Jazz, Zong, Ufone, Telenor, SCOM in any combination) |
| Data-only SIMs | 3 (any network) |
| Total | 8 |

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an official “Pak SIM Data” site for full owner details?
No. The official resource is PTA’s SIM Information System at cnic.sims.pk and the 668 SMS code. Both return SIM counts per operator — not the full personal details of the registered owner. For individual SIM name verification, use 667 for a SIM physically in your possession.
Can I legally see someone else’s full details using Pak SIM Data?
No. Accessing another person’s full name, CNIC, and home address through any channel — official or otherwise — is prohibited under Pakistani telecommunications law and PECA 2016. You are only permitted to check the SIMs linked to your own CNIC.
What is the safest way to check my Pak SIM data right now?
Use cnic.sims.pk (free, online, no SMS cost) or send your CNIC to 668 (Rs. 2 per query, works without internet). Both methods return the same PTA-verified, real-time SIM count for your CNIC. Contact your operator’s franchise with your original CNIC to correct or block any unauthorized SIM.
Are operator helpline checks the same as PTA checks?
Operator helplines and USSD codes draw from the same national SIM registry as PTA’s 668 and cnic.sims.pk. However, operators can only show you SIMs on their own network. For a complete cross-network picture, always use 668 or cnic.sims.pk.
