SIM Number Check Code for Every Pakistani Network
A SIM number check code does one job: it shows the number of the SIM in your own handset. Jazz and Warid use *99#, Zong *8#, Telenor *8888# and Ufone *780*3#; Onic shows yours inside its app, and SCO answers on helpline 355. Every code is free, and none of them reveals who owns anyone else’s number.
Jazz and Warid SIM Number Check Code, Step by Step
Jazz and Warid run on one network, so a single own-number code covers both SIMs. The code is *99#, dialled from the handset holding the SIM, free on every Jazz and Warid line. Jazz publishes no code that shows another person’s sim owner details, and no such code exists on any Pakistani network.
Dial the Jazz own-number code, step by step
Dial *99# on the phone holding the Jazz or Warid SIM and your own number comes back on screen in seconds. The code reads whichever slot you send it from, so pick the right slot first on a dual-SIM handset. It is free to dial.
Step 1 — Open the phone dialler
The same keypad you use to make a call.
Step 2 — Select the Jazz or Warid SIM slot
A two-SIM phone asks which SIM to use. Pick the Jazz one.
Step 3 — Type *99#
Star, nine, nine, hash. Nothing after it.
Step 4 — Press the call button
The phone sends a network request instead of ringing anyone.
Step 5 — Read the number on the pop-up screen
A small grey box shows your 11-digit number.
Step 6 — Save it in your own contacts
Save it as “My Jazz number” and skip the code next time.
Check your Jazz SIM count against your CNIC
Your Jazz SIM count comes from PTA, not from Jazz. Send your 13-digit CNIC with no dashes to 668, or open cnic.sims.pk, and the reply splits your total operator by operator. The Jazz line in that breakdown is your Jazz count. The SMS costs about Rs 2 including tax; the portal is free.
Step 1 — Use cnic.sims.pk or send your CNIC to 668
Both want the same thing: your own 13 digits, no dashes, like 6110123456789.
Step 2 — Find the Jazz line in the operator breakdown
Warid connections appear on the Jazz line, because Warid runs on the Jazz network.
Step 3 — Visit a Jazz franchise with your original CNIC for the full list
Your thumb goes on the scanner, then staff read out the sim owner details held against your CNIC.
Where the Jazz code comes from
*99# is the code Jazz publishes for own-number checks, and we checked the operator guidance on 28 August 2026. Jazz keeps its help content inside an app-style interface on jazz.com.pk, so the code also travels through its franchise and printed material. It is free, and it has not changed in years.
What the code costs
Nothing. A USSD own-number check is a network request, not a call, so it runs even at zero balance.
What to do if *99# does not respond
Send your CNIC to 668 instead, or walk into a Jazz franchise with your original CNIC.
Jazz and Warid share one network, so the same own-number code serves both SIMs.
Zong SIM Number Check Code, Step by Step
Zong’s own-number code is *8#, with the older *2# as a fallback. You dial it from the handset holding the Zong SIM and the number appears on screen, free of charge. Zong publishes no code that returns another person’s sim owner details, because no Pakistani network offers one.
Dial the Zong own-number code, step by step
Dial *8# from the phone holding the Zong SIM and your own 11-digit number comes back on screen. If that request is rejected, *2# is the older fallback. Both read only the SIM in the slot you send from, and both are free.
Step 1 — Open the keypad you dial numbers from
The normal keypad, the one you call from.
Step 2 — Select the Zong SIM slot
On a two-SIM phone, choose the Zong slot before you dial.
Step 3 — Type *8#
Star, eight, hash. Nothing else.
Step 4 — Tap the green call key
This sends a network request, not a call.
Step 5 — Your Zong number appears in a small flash box
Your number shows in a small box. Write it down.
Step 6 — Try *2# only if *8# does not respond
Treat *2# as the backup, not the first thing you dial.
Check your Zong SIMs against your CNIC
The Zong app shows your own account. Your full SIM count across every network comes from PTA instead. Send your 13-digit CNIC with no dashes to 668 and the reply gives a total plus a line for each operator, including Zong.
Step 1 — Send your 13-digit CNIC to 668 from the Zong SIM
No dashes, no spaces, like 6110123456789.
Step 2 — Find the Zong line in the reply
That figure is how many Zong connections sit on your CNIC.
Step 3 — Use Zong’s own official app for your own account details
The app signs you in on your own SIM, so the sim owner details it shows are your own and nobody else’s.
Where the Zong code comes from
*8# is the code Zong publishes for own-number checks, with *2# kept as the older fallback. We checked the operator guidance on 28 August 2026. Both codes are free to dial on any Zong SIM.
What the code costs
Nothing. The request goes to the network and comes back without touching your balance.
Why the code stays the same year after year
*8# has not changed in years. The code that worked on a Zong SIM in 2024 is the same one that works today.
A code that shows your own Zong number cannot reach any other Zong SIM.
Telenor SIM Number Check Code, Step by Step
Telenor’s own-number code is *8888#, dialled free from the handset holding the SIM. USSD own-number checks are network requests rather than calls, so they run even with zero balance. Telenor publishes no code that returns another person’s name, CNIC or address.
Dial the Telenor own-number code, step by step
Dial *8888# from the phone holding the Telenor SIM and your own number appears on screen. The code reads the SIM in the slot you send it from, so choose that slot first on a dual-SIM handset. It is free to dial.
Step 1 — Open your dialler app
The keypad you use for calls.
Step 2 — Select the Telenor SIM slot
Pick the Telenor slot, not the other one.
Step 3 — Type *8888#
Star, four eights, hash.
Step 4 — Hit dial
The request goes to the network and nobody’s phone rings.
Step 5 — Read the flash message that appears
Your 11-digit number shows in a small box.
Step 6 — Note it down before the box closes
Keep it as “My Telenor number” so you never hunt for it again.
Without balance, and the SMS alternative
A USSD check like *8888# is a request to the network, not a paid call. That is why an empty SIM still gets an answer back. When the screen rejects it anyway, the fallback is an SMS: send your 13-digit CNIC with no dashes to 668 and read the count.
Why a zero-balance USSD check usually still works
Nothing is charged because nothing is dialled. The network answers the request itself.
What to do when the request is rejected on screen
Restart the phone, confirm the Telenor slot is active, then dial once more.
Sending your 13-digit CNIC to 668 instead
The reply gives your total SIM count with a line for each operator.
Using Telenor’s own official app for your own account
The app signs in on your own SIM and shows your own account, so the sim owner details you see there are your own.
Where the Telenor code comes from
*8888# is the code Telenor publishes for own-number checks, and we checked the operator guidance on 28 August 2026. It is free to dial on any Telenor SIM.
What the PTML merger changed for this code
Telenor Pakistan merged into PTML, Ufone’s parent company, on 1 July 2026. Nothing changed for users: existing SIMs keep working and *8888# still answers.
What to do if *8888# does not respond
Send your CNIC to 668, or take your original CNIC to a Telenor franchise. Staff there can confirm the sim owner details registered against your own card.
USSD own-number checks are network requests, so they usually run even at zero balance.
Ufone, Onic and SCO SIM Number Check, Step by Step
Ufone’s own-number code is *780*3#, with *1# kept only as an old backup. Onic runs on Ufone’s network and is app-first, so you read your number inside the Onic app. SCO publishes no self-service code, so call its helpline 355 or use 668 instead.
Ufone, step by step
Dial *780*3# from the phone holding the Ufone SIM and your own number appears on screen, free of charge. The code reads the slot you send it from, nothing further. It shows your own number, never the sim owner details behind anyone else’s.
Step 1 — Bring up the keypad
The keypad you make calls from.
Step 2 — Select the Ufone SIM slot
Choose the Ufone slot before dialling on a two-SIM phone.
Step 3 — Type *780*3#
Star, seven-eight-zero, star, three, hash.
Step 4 — Send the request
The phone sends a network request instead of placing a call.
Step 5 — Your number comes back on screen
Your 11-digit number shows in a small box.
Step 6 — Treat *1# as an old fallback only, not the main code
Dial it only if *780*3# fails, and expect it to be dated.
Onic, step by step
Onic is app-first, so there is no dialler code to learn. You install the official Onic app, sign in with the Onic SIM in the handset, and your number sits on the home screen. Onic connections run on Ufone’s network, which matters when you read a PTA breakdown.
Step 1 — Install the official Onic app
Take it from your phone’s own app store, not from a link someone sent you.
Step 2 — Sign in with the Onic SIM in the phone
The sign-in checks the SIM in the handset, so it works on your own line.
Step 3 — Read the number on the app home screen
Your number sits on the first screen after sign-in.
Step 4 — Remember Onic runs on Ufone’s network
In a PTA operator breakdown, an Onic connection sits under Ufone.
SCO, step by step
SCO publishes no self-service own-number code. Its official routes are the helpline 355, the UAN 111-726-726 and the WhatsApp line 0355-4275726, and an SCO franchise can read your record in person. For your SIM count, send your 13-digit CNIC with no dashes to 668 and read the reply on the same handset.
Step 1 — Send your 13-digit CNIC to 668 from the SCO SIM
No dashes and no spaces, like 6110123456789.
Step 2 — Read the reply on the same handset
The reply gives a total count and a line for each operator.
Step 3 — Visit an SCO franchise with your original CNIC for the full list
Staff verify you in person, then read out the sim owner details registered on your own card.
Where these codes come from
*780*3# is the code Ufone publishes for own-number checks, with *1# kept only as a legacy fallback. Onic is app-first by design, so its official app is the route rather than a dialler code. SCO publishes no code at all; its helpline 355 is the official answer. All checked on 28 August 2026.
What the Ufone code costs
Nothing. Like every own-number code in Pakistan, it is free and runs even at zero balance.
The codes we deliberately did not print as primary
*1# is legacy, so it sits here as a fallback line and nowhere else. We print no SCO dialler code because SCO does not publish one.
We print *1# only as an old fallback, never as the main Ufone code.
How to Check SIM Owner Details: The Complete Checklist
Checking sim owner details takes four steps: confirm the record is your own, pick an official route, run the check, then act on the result. The four everyday routes are cnic.sims.pk, an SMS to 668, your operator’s own app, and your operator’s franchise. Every one of them starts from your own CNIC.
The four-step checklist
The order matters. Step one decides whether the rest is even lawful, because every official route in Pakistan starts from a CNIC and the CNIC has to be yours. Steps two to four are mechanical once that is settled, and the whole run takes under five minutes.
Step 1 — Confirm the CNIC you are checking is your own
The card in your hand, with your name and photo on it. Not a friend’s, not a number you copied off a screen.
Step 2 — Choose one of the four official routes
The portal, the 668 SMS, your operator’s app, or a franchise counter. Pick whichever is closest to hand.
Step 3 — Run the check exactly as written above
Thirteen digits, no dashes, in the format 6110123456789. A wrong format is the most common reason a check fails.
Step 4 — Act on what the result shows
If the count matches the SIMs you hold, you are done — the legal ceiling is 8 SIMs per CNIC, 5 voice and 3 data. If it is higher, go to a franchise with your original CNIC and ask for the extra line to be blocked.
The four official routes side by side
All four routes answer the same question and cost nothing beyond the roughly Rs 2 the 668 SMS charges. What separates them is what you must bring and how much detail comes back. The table below shows why a franchise visit gives more than a portal check ever will.
Compare what each route asks for against what it hands back.
| Route | What you need | What you get | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| cnic.sims.pk portal | Your own 13-digit CNIC and a browser | Total SIM count, split by operator | Free |
| SMS to 668 | Your own CNIC, sent from your own SIM | The same count, on your phone | About Rs 2 with tax |
| Your operator’s official app | The SIM in the handset, signed in | Your own account with that one operator | Free |
| Your operator’s franchise | Original CNIC and your thumb | Your full registered list with that operator | Free |
The cnic.sims.pk portal
PTA’s SIM Information System. Type your 13 digits, clear the reCAPTCHA next to “Verify:”, press Submit.
The 668 SMS service
Same answer without a browser. It reads the CNIC you type and the SIM you send from, so a stranger’s number in the message body does nothing.
Your operator’s official app
Signs in on the SIM in your handset and shows that one account.
Your operator’s franchise with biometric verification
Your thumb on the scanner is the proof. This is the only route that reads out your full list line by line.
The 667 service for your own registration record
One more official service sits beside these four. Send “MNP” to 667 and the reply carries the sending SIM’s own record: number, registered name, CNIC with part of it often masked, IMSI, activation date and connection type. It reads only the SIM that sends it, never a stranger’s number. Our number details guide walks through it.
Red flags that mean you are on the wrong page
A page that promises more than the official routes deliver is not a better service. It is a page that either has nothing or has records it was never lawfully given. Five behaviours give it away, and any single one is enough to close the tab. If an unknown number is the real worry, the unknown-number routes on the main guide and our SIM safety guide cover what actually works.
It asks for a phone number instead of your own CNIC
Every lawful route is CNIC-bound. A number-shaped box is the first tell.
It promises a name or a home address
No official check prints a home address, and the only name any service returns is your own: 667 texts back the record of the SIM that sends it, never a stranger’s.
It offers an APK file to download
A file outside the app store asking for your contacts and messages is the price of that promise.
It moves you to a chat app to continue
The check leaves the page so nobody can see what is actually being sold.
It asks you to pay to see the “full” record
The official routes are already free. Paying buys you nothing extra, because there is nothing extra to sell.
Every honest route starts with your own CNIC, never with someone else’s number.
