Check SIMs Registered on Your CNIC via 668 – 2026 Guide
Someone could be making calls in your name right now and you’d never know — until the police knock. PTA’s 668 service: one SMS tells you exactly how many SIMs are registered on your CNIC across every network in Pakistan. If you check SIMs on CNIC 668 twice a year, no stranger can quietly use your identity without you finding out.
The 60-Second Check
- Open your phone’s messaging app.
- Type your 13-digit CNIC number — no dashes, no spaces.
- Send it to 668.
- Wait for the reply, usually within a minute.
The reply lists your SIM count broken down by operator. It costs about Rs. 2 plus tax, works from any Pakistani mobile number, round the clock. What the reply does not show: the actual phone numbers. If you need the registered name behind one specific SIM, send MNP to 667 from that SIM.
The Free Online Alternative
- Open your browser and go to cnic.sims.pk.
- Enter your 13-digit CNIC number.
- Solve the CAPTCHA and click Search.
- View the operator-wise breakdown, which you can print or screenshot for your records.
Know Your Limit: 8 SIMs, No More
Here’s a number worth memorizing: 8. That’s the maximum SIMs allowed per CNIC across all operators combined — 5 voice SIMs plus 3 data-only SIMs — set by the Supreme Court of Pakistan and enforced through PTA’s systems. Exceeding it triggers automatic suspension of your legitimate SIMs along with the fraudulent ones.
