667 vs 668 in Pakistan: What Each Code Does

By SIMCheck Editorial Team · Last verified October 2026 · 7 min read
668 is used for an operator-wise count of SIMs against your CNIC. 667 is associated with information about the SIM in your own handset and mobile-number portability workflows.

Use the code that matches the task

Start with the question you need answered: all-network count against your identity, or information about the SIM you are currently using.

668 for the CNIC audit

Send the 13 CNIC digits without dashes to 668. Charges and response formatting can change, so keep enough balance and verify official guidance.

667 for the SIM in hand

The 667 route applies to the connection from which the request is sent. It is not an unrestricted lookup for any third-party number.

Privacy reminder: Do not use unofficial tools that promise another person’s name, address, complete CNIC or live location. Keep identity details on official channels.

Official sources

For an up-to-date self-check, use PTA’s SIM Information System. For account-specific questions, use the official website, app, helpline or authorized service centre of your operator.
