Know How Many Connections Issued against Your CNIC

By Aamir Attaa · Thursday, Sep 17, 2009 0 Comments

 

Post by Jawad Zubair Sheikh

A well wanted service is being introduced by PTA in collaboration with all companies. Now you can know the amount of connections issued against your CNIC.

Simply write your CNIC (without dashes) and send it to 668

For instance

Write 3749127299334 and send it to 668.

You can also Check by visiting PTA’s website

You will get a reply with number of connections issued against this CNIC for 6 companies (Mobilink, Warid, Zong, Telenor, SCO and Ufone).

Service won’t tell you cell numbers, instead it will actually tell you amount of numbers – for instance, Mobilink 3,
Ufone 3,
Telenor 2,
SCO 0,
Warid 0
Total 8.

Charges

Rs 2 plus Tax per SMS, however, charges may differ at the time of launch. Let us know the results in comments.

Indeed a great service.

By the way, as mentioned above, service is not publicly available – but we, here at ProPakistani, strive to bring you things before they happen.

Update: Few readers have reported that service is down – maybe it is pulled back by operators, or the data server is down/under maintenance. Let’s wait and try again -do share results in comments.

    • Aamir Attaa says:

      Go to respective service center and do the rest… let us know if anyone is creating trouble ; )

      • Usman says:

        Aamir bhai mein aaj telenor k office visit kiya..bcz 668 k reply per 2 no. use ho rahe thay mere cnic per..but service centre walon ne muje 4 no. ka kaha..so it means k 668 sa muje wrong info mili thi..now i think its better to visit all the service centre’s.

  3. Lafunga says:

    I just checked the service. and to my wonder.

    SCO: 0 (which company is it?)
    Telenor: 5
    UFone:4
    Warid:4
    Zong:3
    Total:21
    while as per my information this should be
    Mobilink:2
    SCO: 0 (which company is it?)
    Telenor: 2
    UFone:2
    Warid:1
    Zong:3
    Total:10.
    What the ****

  4. ProPakistani says:

    Asalam U Alaikum
    Amir Bahi What Is SCO?

    • Aamir Attaa says:

      Special Communication Organization, provides wired and GSM telephony services in Azad Kashmir

      • Shajee Khawaja says:

        Dear aamir, SCO is not only providing wired and gsm services but also wll (cdma), dialup and broadband internet, calling cards and other data services like digital cross connect and media leasing to other telecom operators. Well i found atleast someone who knew about sco.

    • saeed says:

      Dear all

      SCO ,stands for Spcl comunication orgnization
      its company which operates in Kashmir region,bcz they dont have ptcl services

      thanks

  5. nouman says:

    great service, i have ufone, it is giving correct results…
    almost 2 rs plus tax charges as i check.

  6. nouman says:

    it is giving correct info, i have ufone, great service & post

  7. shn says:

    dear its charges is 2 rupees par sms i had checked..

  8. Saad says:

    Just checked mine:

    MOBILINK: 0
    SCO: 0
    TELENOR: 0
    UFONE: 1
    WARID: 6
    ZONG: 0

    Why isn’t it returning the Mobilink number which returns my correct CNIC upon sms to 667? Inaccurate results!

    And I must say Warid has done something wrong with my CNIC, I have only 2 numbers with them! Will visit their Customer Service Center soon…

  9. Ace says:

    i5 is giving coreect inf9, i have ufone, great service & post;

  10. Asfand says:

    Mine says:

    MOBILINK: 0
    SCO: 0
    TELENOR: 0
    UFONE: 0
    WARID: 0
    ZONG: 0

    TOTALLY WRONG !!!! I have atleast 4 connections on my CNIC !!!

  11. rta says:

    mine was correct too..
    mobilink,marid sco,ufone,telenor were 0
    zong 1 and thats my number woohoo.

  12. Usman Ihsan says:

    service is not much useful.

    i launched a port request from zong to mobilink. zong rejected it and in the meanwhile i inquired mobilink that how many connections are running on my CNIC in their system. they provided me 4 number including that number whose port request was rejected by zong. then i notified them that this number is not running on zong then they excused and elaborated to me that if u port in or port out or even your port request is rejected, system stores that data against your CNIC.

    this service could be much better if i provided my CNIC in zong, zong would have provided all active numbers on my CNIC and same way other networks also.

  13. obaid saeed says:

    in telenor it deducted exactly 2 rupees.
    but i didnt receive any info:-(

  14. Tufail says:

    i got no fon in my name while i hav one ufon. this means i hav to visit the centre for correction.

    service is great in general.

    thnx for sharing with us.

  15. S. Shami says:

    I am loving it… its one utility that I always wanted to have and the results are accurate!!!!

  16. anonymous says:

    Could not fetch content, Sorry. wtf

  17. Basit147 says:

    SCO = Special Communication Organization
    In Azad Kashmir & Northern Areas
    Run Under Army

  18. Ali says:

    I tried with Ufone and Warid,

    the reply is “could no fetch content, sorry”.

    any assistance ????

  19. Zeeshan Ali says:

    Could not fetch content, sorry.

    This was the reply. :(

  20. Adnan Kahlid says:

    I Check it 2 Time From Different Numbers but an error occur Could not Feth Content,sorry.

  21. usman says:

    amir i try on mobilink postpaid and warid but could not get any data the reply not able to fetch any data

  22. shaaani says:

    when i send my CNIC no. it gave me this messege

    COULD NOT FETCH CONTENT, SORRY
    :(

  23. Abubakar Riaz says:

    i send it through mobilink jazz n reply waz

    “Could not fetch content, sorry.”

    or also charged me

  24. Kashif says:

    Same here …’could not fetch contents, sorry’

    I am using Warid, btw

  25. Moin Sabri says:

    Same here “could not fetch contents ,sorry ” using mobilink post paid.

  26. Faisal says:

    With Warid i got the message…”could not fetch contents, sorry”

  27. Faisal says:

    I’ve only one sim of ufone registered with my NIC ..

    This service is showing 4…

    Well what is the procedure to clear that 3 numbers…

    • Rizwan says:

      Go to respective service centre and fill Disclaim form of SIMs/Numbers, submit to representative and get copy of the same with you. All numbers which are not under your use and activated on CNIC will be blocked by operator after sending warning SMS to these SIM that “your SIM is not registered by your CNIC please contact service centre and get registered with your name otherwise SIM will be blocked in seven days”

  28. Shahnawaz Awan says:

    The information provided by this service is totally wrong, I have checked it by sending different CNIC numbers to 668 but got wrong infornation. I don’t know whey PTA gonna fix this issue.

  29. Ahsan says:

    thanx for sharing its giving accurate results for me.

  30. Kashif Bashir says:

    Service is of no use as operators are not revealing true number of subscribers under the umbrella of one CNIC. Mine result was wrong too. It showed
    warid 0
    ufone 1
    whereas as per my info from Franchise
    warid 1
    ufone 2
    so in my opinion not only to rely upon this service but also visit Business Centers for true info.

  31. omer says:

    fabulous service i’m shocked to see there r 25 sims registered on my name jab k mujhe bas 5 sims ka pata hai

  32. mansoor says:

    Gr8 service…it did work…
    thanx propakistani!

  33. pro desi says:

    wondrening if I sms to 686 who will gets to see/store my NIC? just my service provider or all the different operators

  34. Khizar Sherazi says:

    I guess, its not working through all service providers. I am using Warid’s connection. I sent the required sms but got following reply back:
    “Could not fetch content. sorry”

  35. Shajee Khawaja says:

    I tried it through ufone and it worked perfect… Thanx for updating and letting us know the current states.

  36. Muhammad Zohair Chohan says:

    Got the reply after 3 tries, and its accurate. Becoz i will get new sim by recognized franchise on CROSSED COPY of NIC.

  37. Tariq says:

    I have send a msg from (Warid Post Paid) and got a reply
    MOBILINK: 1 (OK)
    SCO : 0 (OK)
    TELENOR : 2 (WRONG) I have only 1
    UFONE : 2 (WRONG) I have only 1
    WARID : 2 (OK)
    ZONG : 0 (OK)

  38. Adeel says:

    I m trying to send my NIC no from warid but it is saying msg not send I have been trying from morning.

  39. Syed Imran Haider says:

    I checked the service today by sending my cnic no. 3840101847327 to 668.
    I received this Data
    Mobilink:9
    SCO: 0
    Telenor: 3
    UFone:8
    Warid:2
    Zong:4
    Total:26
    while as per my information this should be
    Mobilink:3
    SCO: 0
    Telenor: 2
    UFone:1
    Warid:0
    Zong:4
    Total:10.

    than I visited Warid office in Sargodha and blocked my both numbers. than visited mobilink office in Sargodha and they told me that 5 numbers against my name and I block 2 numbers there too. there is no Ufone customer care in sargodha and I will go to islamabad tomorrow and hopefully I will block andother 7 numbers.

  40. Arshad says:

    Didn’t get a reply back

  41. adnan says:

    I am shocked to know i have 9 mobilink numbers on my NIC. any advice.

    • Muhammad Zohair Chohan says:

      Go to nearest Mobilink Franchise for number blocking else go to nearest NADRA office and apply for a new NIC :P

  42. Alam says:

    Good job Atta.

    I’m on safe side. Shows correct result. It works on Zong with me

    • Jawad Zubair Sheikh says:

      Asalam U Alaikum
      Ap Ne Kis Mobile Telecom se send kia tha
      Kun warid se abhi ye kaam nahi kar raha

    • Muhammad Zohair Chohan says:

      As the service is in testing phase it may not work properly. Try sending sms at some late night of afternoon time and do send from ZONG and Ufone, because i tested both works perfect. :D

  45. Jansher says:

    Asslam-u-Alikum! I thnk the service is not working correctly bcz its showning 0 against mobilink and zong but as per i knw i hav 2 2 connections against mobilink and zong.

  46. Dear Jawed I have Telenor Djuice Sim and its not working

  47. Dr Ahmad says:

    Dear Aamir bayee you have done this important issue solved I dont belive that what is going on in Pakistan in Telecome sector specially in Mobile sector that the sim is available in even in a paan shop, or small kookas in the cities etc, I am wonder when I got reply from 668
    Mobilink 8
    telenor 6
    warid 0
    zong 1
    ufone 3
    sco 0

    I have only 1 mobilink number instead of 8
    and 2 ufone numbers intead of 3
    and 2 telenor numbers instead of 6

    I am going to the service centers and will block theses sims and I want to complaint against these operators. so how can I complaint specially against Mobilink and telenor.

  48. Sam says:

    Telenor is not responding to 668 as this no is being used for their MNP services

  49. SYED RAHEEL says:

    Dear Sam,

    Can you explain me that whats is MNP Services???

    I have Telenor Djuice SIM Card and its Not working SMS not sent to 668 PRI No…

  50. Zain says:

    haha, nice post

  51. Irfan Bilal says:

    this seems to useful service but the database need to be updated and improvements still needed. I have at least 6 numbers on different networks but i was shown only three of them.

  52. Usman Ihsan says:

    this service 100% tells a lie because its in testing phase. i sent sms to 668 with my CNIC # and it replied with a crap data. its reply is as follow

    MOBILINK 2 (RIGHT)
    SCO 0 (RIGHT)
    TELENOR 0 (WRONG)
    UFONE 3 (WRONG)
    ZONG 4 (WRONG)
    WARID 3 (WRONG)

    its in testing so dont rely on it and dont waste your money.

    then i talked to warid CSR and asked abt the numbers, he said come to our Main Office there we can tell u that how many numbers are running on your CNIC.

    has this service started to over crowd Main Offices of Telecom Operators he he he he.

  53. junaid says:

    it fake i got
    mobilink 0
    telenor 1
    zong 1
    warid 1

    but i have got 2 moblink numbers register aswell which i confirmed that they are still on my name

  54. Umair Ansari says:

    I just checked the service.
    I received this Data
    Mobilink:10
    SCO: 0
    Telenor: 10
    UFone:10
    Warid:10
    Zong:10

    Whats is this ???

    i haave bought only one sim of telenor so how shows all sims value 10 ???

    • Alam says:

      Don’t visit franchise.
      Visit business center of Ufone,Warid,Zong,Mobilink.

      They will give you right data. If the results are correct. launch complain, if they don’t do it in required time. Then Let us know, we will try to find other way.

      This is important to know, as situation going in Pakistan is very bad.

      A little caution for the viewers :
      When you give your CNIC copy to bank or any other service, write a name on it e.g ” For bank USE and for my account # only ” with ball point.

      So, in this way may be a little help full.

  55. Malik says:

    I just checked the service.
    I received this Data
    Mobilink:0
    SCO: 0
    Telenor: 5
    UFone:3
    Warid:2
    Zong:0

    Results for telenor is wrong i have only three sim registered with them but they saying 5

    any visited the service center for confrimation.

    is this service buy or some one really using sims on our CNIC

  56. Ashraf Ali says:

    I have checked and found that those numbers who expired due to any reason still showing in record.

  57. malik says:

    Hello Ashraf ali and admin of site

    should i have to worry about expired connection nos which were registered against my nic as i have 1 ufone sim which is expired and 668 saying i have 1 ufone registered against my cnic

    and 2nd question it also saying i have 5 sims of telenor against my cnic but actually i have only 3 sims, can anyone confirm if its system bug or i have to visit telenor customer center. and also can we get confirmation of all nos using help line.

  59. Jawad Zubair Sheikh says:

    Asalam U ALaikum
    Update:
    Now It Is Also Working On Zong And Ufone

  60. muhammad salim says:

    this service is not working accurately.it is still showing against my cinc the number whose ownership was transferred to my friend’s cnic 15 months back.
    also the expired numbers of old,unused sims are also coming in the reply sent by 668.the mobile companies should stop this service as it is highly inaccurate and does not reflect the updated data,but includes many years old data and is creating unnessary confusion among the public by sending back old and inaccurate information.

    • Jawad Zubair Sheikh says:

      Asalam U Alaikum
      brother as we say it is not its official launch
      it is in testing phase
      so it needs some time for improvement

  61. Mutant says:

    @aamir7 PTA website has not got any NEWS about their service for checking the no. of connections against a single NIC! WHY?

    • Jawad Zubair Sheikh says:

      Asalam U Alaikum
      brother as we say it is not its official launch
      jb ye officily launch ho jay gi tb ap ko PTA web pe is ki detail milay gi
      thanks

  62. Tufail Malik says:

    Good service, I have one telenor number but it is not being shown in my received SMS.

  63. Hafeez says:

    Mine is working correctly. Two Ufone n One Mobilink No. on my CNIC.

  64. Tanveer Malik says:

    I just checked the service.
    I received this Data
    Mobilink:5
    SCO: 0
    Telenor: 0
    UFone:0
    Warid:1
    Zong:0

    I also have sim from Zong and it is not is their data as i have purchased from their office aganist my cnic.

    I think i should consult both office for miscommunication

  65. Javed Iqbal says:

  66. Hacker says:

    guys you can check this also on PTA site although they have no link in it. they will provide link after the launch

    the link is
    http://www.pta.gov.pk/668/

    enjoyyyy

  67. It is still not working, I have checked it on 12:20 pm 2009-09-28

  68. Asif Akhtar Nizami says:

    Hello,

    I’ve just tried it and it says I have 11 sims registered under my CNIC. I wasn’t aware of this so I believe some SIMS have bee registered under my CNIC without my consent. The next big question is what step can I take next? It says 6 (instead of 2) sims registered with Ufone. What can I do in this regard?

    Please advise.

    Thanks,

    Asif Akhtar Nizami

  69. AR1 says:

    Its good service. I try, by SMS its ok but web side is down.

  70. Tahir says:

    Good Service by PTA.
    I Think they should also tell the no…..

  71. Asher says:

    Dear Pro Pakistani Team,
    Such 668 code doesn’t work on Telenor but charges as per above charged by the CMO.

  72. Farrukh Qadri says:

    The website report 7 connection while contacting the service provider they replied me 3 so …. who is ri8??? if this website gives wrong info that means there is might you have another connections which it reports 0.
    Reply….

  73. Mir says:

    DAMN! I have so many numbers against my CNIC! Got to have them blocked ASAP! Thanks for this info! Bravo!

  74. Mohammad Sarfraz says:

    I got ten SIMs on CNIC. I sent an e-mail to one of the service providers (SP) with my CNIC number to find out the SIM numbers. And here is the reply:”We r not allowed to tell numbers however you can submit the form for blocking of all other numbers which are not in your use.”
    I have following points in this regard:
    (1) Where is ‘Right of Information’?
    (2) Where is consumber protection?
    (3) The SPs play hand-in-glove in all this game?
    If I know the numbers, I may check and verify whether these are used by any of my family members or friends. If so I can ask them to change it in their name or else I can get these numbers blocked.
    It would have been fair on SP’s part, if they had asked me to visit their office with original CNIC to collect this information. Why are they not providing the numbers issued against one’s CNIC? Any fair reason/logic? What to do?

  75. Yas says:

    But with ufone u cannot send to 668. it always says message sending failure. why?

  76. Tahir says:

    from 668 wrong datail

  77. Asfandyar says:

    I went to Ufone and they told me the number of connections as well as the numbers that we active on my Name and CNIC, thanks to them and I blocked all as I am not using any. Went to Telenor and they would not tell me the numbers but only the no. of connections saying it is PTA’s policy not to show numbers!! Please confirm if this is the case as Ufone showed all numbers on my request. I went to both offices the same day.
