Pakistan's mobile landscape includes five major operators — Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone, and SCOM — plus ONIC, a digital MVNO running on the Ufone network. Each operator was allocated specific number prefixes by PTA; the prefix of a number indicates its original network, though Mobile Number Portability (MNP) means the current carrier may differ. For USSD codes and number checking, see our How to Check Mobile Number guide.
Formerly Mobilink and Warid, Jazz is Pakistan's largest mobile network operator.
Zong is Pakistan's first 3G and 4G operator, owned by China Mobile.
Telenor Pakistan is a leading mobile operator with a strong focus on digital inclusion.
Ufone is a Pakistani mobile network operator owned by Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL).
Special Communications Organization (SCOM) provides mobile services in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.
Each operator was originally allocated a set of mobile number prefixes by PTA. Click any operator for detailed information. Due to MNP, prefixes indicate the original allocation and may not reflect the current carrier.

For USSD codes (how to check your own number, balance, and SIM details), see our How to Check Mobile Number guide.
Each traditional mobile operator provides relevant USSD or SMS codes for checking your own number and SIM-related details, plus biometric verification (BVS) codes for your own SIM; ONIC provides these functions through its app. These codes relate to your own device only.
USSD menu for SIM-related details. BVS code sends your SIM's biometric verification status via SMS.
*321#CNIC to 6001Send your CNIC to 310 for your own SIM list and biometric verification status.
SMS CNIC to 310CNIC to 310*345# shows SIM-related details for your own SIM. 7751 is the BVS biometric check.
*345#CNIC to 7751*333# is a USSD menu for SIM-related details. V to 7911 is the BVS verification code.
*333#V to 7911To see every SIM registered on your own CNIC across all networks, dial *668# or visit cnic.sims.pk. To view the registration details of the SIM in your hand, send MNP to 667.
ONICis Pakistan's digital mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), running on the Ufone network. It has no physical SIM cards and no franchises — everything happens through the ONIC app: you verify your identity with biometrics, scan a QR code, and the eSIM activates.
ONIC numbers use the 0339 and 0371–0379 prefix ranges and appear in your 668 CNIC check exactly like any other SIM — the 8-SIM cap (5 voice + 3 data) still applies across all operators combined.
Because ONIC is a digital brand on Ufone's network, its numbers are verified the same way as any other operator: *668# or cnic.sims.pk for SIMs on your own CNIC, MNP to 667 for the SIM in your hand, and N to 76367 to identify the current network of a number.
Mobile Number Portability (MNP) was introduced in Pakistan in 2007, allowing subscribers to switch operators while keeping their existing phone number. This means the prefix of a mobile number only indicates the original network that was allocated that prefix, not necessarily the current operator.
If you need to know the current operator for a specific number, send N to 76367 via SMS from any mobile phone for network identification. For the SIM in your hand, send MNP to 667 to view its registration details.
Important: The network information provided on this page is based on prefix allocation data from PTA and may not reflect the current carrier due to MNP. For current-carrier verification, use the PTA 76367 service or our lookup tool. We are not affiliated with PTA, NADRA, or any telecom operator.
