Keeping your mobile identity clean is one of the simplest ways to prevent fraud in Pakistan. The CNIC Information System, together with PTAâs SIM Information System and inâstore biometric verification (BVS), lets you see how many SIMs are linked to your CNIC and remove unauthorized numbers, without risking your privacy on shady âlookupâ sites. This guide covers the official methods, key features, real user experiences, and pro tips to stay secure.
WHAT YOU CAN LEGALLY CHECK IN PAKISTAN
- You can view: The number of active SIMs registered against your CNIC, broken down by operator (Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone).
- You cannot view: Other peopleâs names, addresses, or live locations. Any website or app claiming to reveal âSIM owner detailsâ from a number or CNIC should be treated as unsafe and potentially unlawful.
- How SIM registration works: New SIMs are issued via the Biometric Verification System (BVS). Your fingerprints and CNIC are matched to NADRA at authorized operator outlets to prevent fake or proxy registrations.
HOW TO CHECK SIMS LINKED TO YOUR CNIC
METHOD 1 â SMS
- Open your SMS app.
- Type your CNIC number without dashes (e.g., 1234512345671).
- Send to 668.
- Receive a reply with the operatorâwise count of SIMs on your CNIC.
Note: A standard SMS fee may apply depending on your operator.
METHOD 2 â WEB PORTAL
- Visit the Sim Owner Details SIM Information website.
- Enter your CNIC and complete the verification prompt.
- View the summary of SIM counts per operator.
Tip: If you recently renewed or updated your CNIC, allow time for backend synchronization before rechecking.
FOUND UNKNOWN NUMBERS? DISOWN THEM VIA BVS
If SimOwnerDetails shows SIMs you didnât authorize:
- Visit the relevant operatorâs franchise/service center with your original CNIC.
- Request SIM âdisowningâ for the unknown numbers and complete BVS on the spot.
- Keep the acknowledgment SMS/receipt and recheck after 24â48 hours.
QUICK REFERENCE
- (SMS or web): Shows operatorâwise SIM counts for your CNIC.
- Operator franchise (BVS): Removes unauthorized SIMs after biometric verification.
- PTA CMS: Escalation path if an operator doesnât resolve your case.
OPTIONAL BUT SMART: VERIFY YOUR DEVICE WITH DIRBS
Pair SIM hygiene with device hygiene.
- Get your IMEI: Dial *#06# on your phone.
- Check on PTAâs Device Identification Registration and Blocking System portal (or via the official SMS service where available).
- Avoid nonâcompliant or blocked devices; report stolen devices for IMEI blocking.
Why it matters: A compliant device plus verified SIMs makes misuse harder and streamlines support if your phone is lost or stolen.
FEATURES OF THE SIM INFORMATION ECOSYSTEM
- Biometric issuance (BVS): Fingerprint matching against NADRA to prevent fake identities.
- Citizen visibility: A quick, official snapshot of SIMs tied to your CNIC.
- Audit and rate limits: Operators log issuance, porting, and disowning for accountability.
- Reâverification triggers: Number porting (MNP), SIM replacements, and certain plan changes require fresh checks.
- Data protection: Official portals use encryption, captcha, and session controls; avoid thirdâparty lookups that ask for CNICs.
USERSâ EXPERIENCES: WHAT REAL PEOPLE REPORT
- Multan, Fast cleanup: After checking CNIC information, Ahsan saw two unfamiliar Zong SIMs. A 15âminute franchise visit and BVS disowned both; the CNIC information count updated the next day.
- Islamabad, Avoided a bad buy: Sundus checked a used phone on DIRBS; it showed ânonâcompliant.â She walked away, later activating a compliant device without issues.
- Lahore, Peace of mind: Fariha checks CNIC information quarterly. Keeping only one childâs SIM active on her CNIC simplified a later SIM replacement and reduced exposure to misuse.
OFFICIAL MOBILE APPS AND PORTALS (WHAT THEY CAN AND CANâT DO)
- Operator apps: Jazz World, My Zong, My Ufone, and My Telenor help manage the SIM in your phone (packages, usage, support). They do not reveal other peopleâs data.
- Web Portal: SIMOWNERDETAILSs.com.pk for SIM counts.
- NADRA Pak Identity: Manage your own ID lifecycle (renew/update), useful if your CNIC details changed and you want consistent records across services.
Avoid thirdâparty âPakDataâstyleâ apps and sites that request full CNIC details or promise owner names/addresses. These are privacy risks and can enable identity theft.
BEST PRACTICES: PRIVACY AND SECURITY
Do:
- Use SIMOWNERDETAILS.PK (web) and operator franchises for any changes.
- Keep your CNIC and SIM secure; enable PIN/PUK protections and device screen locks.
- Save receipts/SMS confirmations when disowning.
- Recheck after porting, replacing a SIM, or sharing CNIC at retail points.
Donât:
- Share CNIC images or OTPs over messaging apps.
- Install unknown APKs that claim to âtrack numbersâ or âshow CNIC details.â
- Assume screenshots of counts are proofâkeep official receipts or CMS case IDs.
