In Pakistan, every SIM card must be registered with a person’s CNIC (Computerized National Identity Card) as per PTA rules. Sometimes, people forget which mobile numbers are registered under their CNIC, especially if they bought multiple SIMs in the past. Luckily, PTA provides a simple way to check all mobile numbers registered on your CNIC.
This guide will explain how to check mobile number on CNIC easily in Pakistan.
Method 1: Check Through PTA Website
- Open your mobile browser and visit the official PTA website: cnic.sims.pk
- Enter your CNIC number without dashes.
- Verify the captcha code.
- Click on Submit.
Now you will see a complete list of all mobile numbers registered against your CNIC, along with the network (Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone).
Method 2: Check Through SMS
If you don’t have internet, you can also check via SMS:
- Open the messaging app on your phone.
- Type your CNIC number (without dashes).
- Send it to 668.
- In a few seconds, you will get a reply with all SIMs registered on your CNIC.
(Note: Each SMS to 668 may cost a small fee, around Rs. 2+tax.)
Why is This Important?
- To avoid misuse of your CNIC by others.
- To block unwanted or unknown numbers registered on your name.
- To keep your SIMs updated with PTA rules.
