Pak SIM Data, in Plain Terms
The phrase searches for the records that link a SIM to a CNIC. Those records exist. The public window onto them is 668, and it shows a person only themselves.
In Pakistan, SIM data is held by PTA and mobile operators (Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone, SCO, Onic). Public websites cannot show you who owns a number or what SIMs are on someone else's CNIC.
What you can access, and what you cannot
You can access PAK SIM info tied to your own CNIC:
- How many SIMs are on your CNIC: SMS 668 or cnic.sims.pk: count per company
- Which network a number is on: SMS 76367 (network name only)
- Name and CNIC on your SIM: SMS 667 (MNP from the SIM you hold)
You cannot access PAK SIM info for any CNIC but your own. That is protected under PECA 2016.
Key takeaways:
- "Pak SIM GA" is a label invented around SIM records that are not public; no general-access database exists.
- The only lawful public window is a count per company on your own CNIC: 668 or cnic.sims.pk.
- Sites and APKs promising GA downloads harvest your CNIC and contacts and show invented results.
- Owner-records misuse is a PECA 2016 matter; report fake tools to NCCIA (1799) or PTA (0800-55055).
- If your own count looks wrong, block the extra SIM at the operator franchise the same week.
The channels that are official
SIM data in Pakistan flows through official channels:
| Channel | Purpose | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| SMS 668 | SIM count per company on your CNIC | PTA says charges may apply |
| cnic.sims.pk | Online SIM count check | Free (no listed fee) |
| SMS 667 | Name and CNIC on your SIM | Rs 2 plus tax (Jazz) |
| SMS 76367 | Network name for a number | Rs 2 plus tax |
These are the only official SIM data Pakistan channels. Anything offering a "fresh SIM database" or "PAK SIM GA download" is not official.
Why no public database exists
A public SIM GA database showing names, CNICs or phone numbers by search would violate PECA 2016 Section 16: using another person's identity information without authorisation carries up to three years in prison, a fine of up to Rs 5 million, or both.
Sites and APKs promising "Pak SIM GA" or "PAK SIM data download" are collecting your CNIC, contact list or payment details. The screenshots they show are invented.
How a "Pak SIM GA" Page Works, Step by Step
The label dressing changes; the machine underneath does not.
- A page ranks for the phrase with a screenshot of a neat table: names, CNICs, numbers. The table is typed by hand or generated at random.
- It invites you to "search the database" with a box for a mobile number or CNIC. Whatever you type is stored before any result appears.
- The result pretends to fail elegantly, with a "register to view" gate, or prints a fabricated record with a watermark. Either way, your input is now the product.
- Unlock paths branch out: an APK download that wants contacts and SMS permissions, a small "verification fee", or ads that monetise the fake searching animation.
- Harvested numbers and CNICs resurface later as phishing bait: fake NADRA or "PTA" calls, OTP requests, attempted SIM swaps. The scam is a pipeline, not a lookup.
The data these pages misuse is the same data the official system protects: registration records linking SIMs to CNICs, held by PTA and the operators. A web form changes nothing about who is authorised to see them. Nothing you type into one can return another person's record, so anything returned is copy or fiction.
Claim vs Reality: PAK SIM GA
| Claim | Reality |
|---|---|
| "Pak SIM GA gives general access to all SIM records" | There is no general-access database. Public checks answer only about your own CNIC or your own SIM. |
| "Download the full SIM data Pakistan list as Excel or PDF" | Bulk owner records are not distributed publicly. Download files are bait for ads, malware or "unlock" fees. |
| "Enter any number to see the owner's name and address" | The lawful by-number answer is 76367, which returns the network name only, as mobile number details explains. |
| "We are an official PTA partner" | PTA's own portal is cnic.sims.pk. Check any claimed channel against our SMS codes guide before typing anything. |
If You Already Used a GA Site or APK
Work through the damage in one sitting, then keep the evidence.
- Uninstall any APK and revoke its permissions; change passwords for accounts you entered on the site.
- Never pay an "unlock" or "verification" fee. It buys nothing and marks you as a responsive target.
- Send your CNIC to 668 now, and again in the following weeks, so a new fraudulent SIM cannot sit quietly on your name. The check itself is covered in how many SIMs are on your CNIC.
- If the count is too high for any company, start disowning the SIM at that franchise with your original CNIC and fingerprints.
- Report the site or app to NCCIA at 1799, keeping its exact web address, screenshots and dates. Telecom-impersonation complaints go to PTA on 0800-55055 or through its complaint portal on pta.gov.pk.
Using a GA page does not only fail you. Handling another person's identity data without authorisation can itself breach PECA 2016, so the clean exit is reporting, not retrying on the next site.
FAQ
What is Pak SIM GA?
Pak SIM GA is a search label attached to fake "general access" SIM databases. The real records linking SIMs to CNICs exist at PTA and the operators, but no public general-access window onto them exists. The lawful tools are 668, cnic.sims.pk, 667 and 76367.
Can I download SIM data Pakistan as a list?
No. Files advertised as full SIM databases are bait for ad revenue, APK installs or "unlock fees", and typing into their search boxes hands over your own CNIC and number. The same scam family is catalogued in SIM scams and fraud prevention.
How do I check SIMs on my CNIC without a GA site?
Text your 13-digit CNIC, without dashes, to 668, or enter it with the reCAPTCHA on cnic.sims.pk. Both return a count per company. Charges may apply to the SMS; the website lists no fee.
What can 667 tell me about my own SIM?
Send MNP from the SIM you hold to 667 and the reply shows that card's mobile number, registered name and CNIC. It is a check on your own registration, not a lookup tool for other people's cards.
Where do I report a fake GA website?
NCCIA at 1799 investigates identity misuse under PECA, and PTA's complaint channels handle telecom impersonation: 0800-55055 or complaint.pta.gov.pk. Bring the site address, screenshots and the dates you used it.
Conclusion: The Records Are Real, the Access Is Not
Pak SIM GA promises the whole register at once, and that is exactly what no public service in Pakistan provides. Real SIM data access is narrow by design: your count on 668 or cnic.sims.pk, your own card on 667, a network name on 76367, and everything else reserved to lawful investigation.
Do the one check that is yours today: send your CNIC to 668, read the count per company against your own SIM list, and keep the dated reply. If a company's number is too high, the franchise route on our block unauthorised SIMs page is the next call to make.
