Check a number before you send anything

Type your own CNIC or any 11-digit mobile number. This works out what the number can tell you and prepares the official message for you. Nothing is uploaded, searched or stored: it runs entirely in your browser, and no site can tell you who owns a number that is not yours.

Dashes and spaces are ignored. Only your own CNIC gives you a SIM count.

What Mobile Number Details Can You Check?

In Pakistan, you can check limited information about a mobile number through official channels. You cannot find out who owns a number you do not hold. Here is what is officially available:

What you want to knowOfficial methodWhat you get
Which network a number is onSMS 76367Network name only
Whether your own SIM is registered to youSMS 667 (from that SIM)Name and CNIC of that SIM
How many SIMs are on your CNICSMS 668 or cnic.sims.pkSIM count per company
Your own phone numberNetwork-specific codeYour number

Key takeaways:

  • Mobile number details in Pakistan are public only as far as the network name: 76367.
  • Your own SIM's registration is readable with MNP to 667, sent from that SIM.
  • SIMs on your CNIC are counted on 668 or cnic.sims.pk, company by company.
  • No official channel gives a stranger's name, CNIC or address.

SMS 76367: Check Which Network a Number Is On

76367 shows which network a mobile number is on today. It works as an ordinary text message, no internet needed. The cnic.sims.pk website lists its price as Rs 2 plus tax.

  1. Open your messages and start a new text.
  2. Type N, a space, then the 11-digit number (e.g., N 03001234567).
  3. Send it to 76367.
  4. Read the reply: it shows the network name only.
76367 tells you a number's network, never its sim owner details. It will not show the owner's name, CNIC or address.

SMS 667: Verify Your Own SIM

Text MNP to 667 from the SIM you are checking. The reply shows the mobile number, registered name, CNIC and SIM number. This service exists for mobile number portability.

667 checks the registration of the SIM that sends the SMS. If the reply shows a different name or CNIC, contact your operator to correct the record.

Mobile Number Prefixes in Pakistan

A mobile number's first four digits indicate the original network allocation. However, due to mobile number portability (MNP), the current network may differ.

Prefixes come from switchboards: 1947 newsreel of an automatic exchange, Polygoon, public domain.
NetworkCommon prefixesOwn number code
Jazz0300-0309, 0320-0329*99#
Zong0310-0319*8#
Ufone0330-0338*780*3#
Telenor0340-0349*8888#
SCO / Onic035x, 0800, 0855*414#

Important: Prefixes show the original allocation, not the current network. A number starting with 0300 may now be on Zong due to porting. Use 76367 to check the current network.

The table covers the four big networks and SCO. ISPs such as Nayatel and Wateen hold 017-prefix numbers. The line-up has also moved: Telenor and Ufone merged on 1 July 2026, and PTA banned new Onic SIM sales in September 2026.

Portability: What Changes, What Does Not

Porting moves a number between networks without changing the record behind it. Your 668 count does not shift either: the SIM on the old network closes and a SIM on the new one opens against your CNIC. Two rules decide whether a port is possible today. A waiting period applies: Jazz accepts a port-in only 60 days after activation or the last ownership change. PTA's MNP guidelines exclude AJK-series numbers, so an SCO line cannot move the way a Jazz line can. Fees differ too: Jazz lists Rs 300 for prepaid port-in; Zong's price page shows port-in free.

Check with 667 before you port: text MNP from that SIM and read the name and CNIC back. If either is wrong, correct it with the operator first; the SMS code reference lists the porting checks.

How to Find Your Own Mobile Number

There is no single own-number code for every network. Your phone's SIM settings usually show the number. Beyond that, use the network code in the "Own number code" column of the prefix table above: *99# on Jazz, *8# on Zong, *780*3# on Ufone, *8888# on Telenor, *414# on SCO.

What You Cannot Check

  • Owner name by number: No official service shows who owns a number you do not hold.
  • CNIC by number: Not available through any public channel.
  • Address by number: Not available.
  • Call history or location: Requires legal authorisation.
Any website claiming to show a stranger's name, CNIC or address from just their number is either showing fabricated data or reselling old leaked records. This is an offence under PECA 2016.

The legal line is the reason. Section 16 of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act 2016 makes unauthorised use of another person's identity information an offence, with up to 3 years in prison, a fine of up to Rs 5 million, or both. The current text is on the PECA portal. Instead of a lookup, PTA runs a complaint route: 0800-55055, or complaint.pta.gov.pk. The PECA 2016 and SIM ownership page sets out what the law permits and forbids.

Worked Example: A Number You Were Sent

Someone sends you a number and asks whose it is. The whole lawful path:

  1. Text N 03001234567 to 76367. The reply names today's network and costs Rs 2 plus tax.
  2. If the number starts 0340 but the reply says Jazz, it has been ported, and the prefix tells you nothing about the holder.
  3. Stop there. No official channel goes from a network name to a person, and 668 counts only against your own CNIC.
  4. If the number is harassing you, keep the dated messages and report to PTA on 0800-55055 or NCCIA on 1799.

FAQ

How can I find mobile number details of an unknown caller in Pakistan?

You can find which network the number uses: text N, a space, then the 11-digit number to 76367. No official service reveals the owner. For harassment, report to PTA on 0800-55055 or NCCIA on 1799 with dated messages as evidence.

Does a 0300 prefix always mean Jazz?

No. Prefixes record the original allocation, and portability means a 0300 number can now sit on Zong, Ufone or another network. Use 76367 for the current network rather than guessing from the first four digits.

How do I check the details of my own SIM number?

Send MNP to 667 from that SIM and the reply shows its number, registered name, CNIC and SIM number. If either name or CNIC is wrong, correct it with the operator. To audit all SIMs under your CNIC, send the 13 digits to 668 or use the CNIC count guide.

Conclusion: Network Yes, Owner No

The network behind a number is public through 76367, and your own SIM's registration is readable through MNP to 667. The identity behind a number you do not hold is not public at all, a design decision under PECA 2016 rather than a missing feature.

Next step: if the number is yours, send MNP to 667 and confirm the name and CNIC on it today. If it is somebody else's, run 76367 for the network and keep dated messages for a complaint. To audit every SIM registered to you, use the CNIC count guide.
