About eSim Owner Details
A free, fact-checked guide that helps every Pakistani check their own SIMs the legal way — and see straight through the scams that pretend to do it for them.
Make sure no Pakistani ever pays a scam site — or breaks the law — for something PTA already lets them do free, in thirty seconds.
The story — why this exists
For years, the same quiet thing kept happening across Pakistan. People who could see every SIM on their CNIC for free, in about half a minute, were instead handing money — and their CNIC — to shady "SIM database" sites selling stolen or invented data. The official, free tools (668, cnic.sims.pk, 667) were sitting there the whole time, unknown to most. We built eSim Owner Details to close that gap for good, in language anyone can follow.
Then a second problem crept in. The guides that were supposed to help started copying each other's mistakes — invented advisory dates, made-up "operations", penalties that don't actually exist in the law. Readers couldn't tell a careful, sourced fact from a number one blogger invented and forty others repeated. So we set a second rule for ourselves, and it's the one we're proudest of: publish only what we can verify — and openly correct the fictions everyone else keeps repeating.
Why any of this matters
This isn't a small inconvenience. In Pakistan, whatever happens on a SIM lands first at the door of the person it's registered to. An unauthorised SIM on your CNIC can quietly receive banking OTPs, be used for a scam, or push your identity toward its legal limit — all without you knowing. The single cheapest defence against every one of those risks is a thirty-second self-check that most people were never told existed. That's the whole reason we're here: to turn a hidden, free government tool into something every Pakistani actually knows how to use.
We do this. We refuse to do that.
The clearest way to understand us is to see both sides at once.
What we do
- Explain every official, free way to check the SIMs on your CNIC
- Show you how to disown an unauthorised SIM and defend against SIM-swap & OTP fraud
- Cover all six networks — Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone, SCO and ONIC — and keep the codes current
- Explain the law (PECA 2016) accurately, with correct penalties
- Write in plain English and Roman Urdu, and date every single update
What we refuse to do
- Run a SIM database or hold on to anyone's data
- Look up a stranger by number — that's illegal, full stop
- Charge money, gate content, or push paid "premium" checks
- Repeat unverified numbers just because every other site does
- Pretend to be PTA, NADRA or an operator
Our core values
Six principles that guide everything we publish and recommend.
Always free
Every guide and method we describe is free or near-free (the ~Rs. 2 for a 668 SMS is PTA's own charge, not ours). No paywalls, no "premium" checks — ever.
Strictly legal
We promote only PTA-authorised, PECA 2016-compliant methods, and cite the accurate penalty — never the inflated figures that circulate elsewhere.
Fact-checked accuracy
Every code, date and penalty is verified against a named official source before it goes live — and fabricated claims are named and corrected.
Zero data collection
We don't collect CNICs, phone numbers or SIM data. No registration, no login, no tracking of what you check. Your verification is yours alone.
Universal access
Our guides cover every user — smartphone, feature phone, or no internet at all — with SMS, USSD, the portal and franchise routes, in English and Roman Urdu.
User protection
Every guide is written to protect you from fraud, identity theft and unauthorised SIM registration — with clear, practical defences, not vague warnings.
What we cover
Comprehensive, fact-checked guidance across every part of SIM owner details in Pakistan.
Verification guides
How to check via 668, cnic.sims.pk, 667, 76367, USSD codes, operator apps, helplines and franchises — plus dedicated guides for Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone, SCO and ONIC.
Security & protection
Detecting and disowning unauthorised SIMs, defending against SIM-swap and OTP fraud, spotting the "free SIM fingerprint" scam, and reporting to PTA and the NCCIA.
Identity & law
How your CNIC links to SIM registration, an accurate PECA 2016 framework (Sections 16 & 17), the eight-SIM cap, the 365-day disowning window, and 50+ FAQs.

Real oversight — a named editor, accountable for every fact.
A decade of watching the same problem
Nadir’s work over the past decade has kept him close to how Pakistanis actually use their mobile connections: the franchise counters, the helpline queues, the WhatsApp forwards and the questions people ask when something goes wrong. Over those years he watched the SIM system change dramatically — from the loose registration of the early days, through the nationwide biometric re-verification drive, to today’s tightly linked system of SVMS, NADRA biometrics, MNP and DIRBS. He also watched something that did not change: most people still did not know the free tools existed, and a growing number of websites were happy to fill that gap with stolen data, invented results and paywalls.
Why he started eSim Owner Details
The site began with a simple frustration. The same questions kept coming up — how do I know how many SIMs are on my CNIC, is this “SIM data” site real, what do I do about a number I never bought — and the answers online were either wrong, copied from each other, or pointed readers towards illegal lookup tools. Nadir decided to write the answers down properly, once, in plain language, and to hold every page to a standard he could personally stand behind. eSim Owner Details is the result: an independent guide with no database, no paid checks and no hidden agenda.
How he researches and verifies
Nadir’s rule is simple: if a claim cannot be traced to an official source, it does not go on the site. Every USSD code and SMS shortcode is checked against current operator channels. Every rule is checked against PTA notices and circulars. Every legal point is read against the actual text of PECA 2016 rather than a summary of a summary. When sources disagree, or a figure cannot be confirmed, he says so openly instead of picking the number that sounds most convincing. It is a slower way to publish, and some pages take weeks rather than hours — but it is the reason readers can act on what they find here without second-guessing it.
What he covers — and what he won’t
His focus is deliberately narrow: helping people check and protect their own identity. That includes the official verification methods (668, cnic.sims.pk, 667, 76367 and each operator’s codes), disowning unauthorised SIMs, protecting JazzCash and Easypaisa accounts from SIM-swap and OTP fraud, and explaining the law in terms an ordinary reader can use. Just as deliberately, he does not cover how to look up strangers, bypass verification or access anyone else’s data — and he writes plainly about why those services are fake or illegal, so readers can recognise them on sight.
Independence and accountability
eSim Owner Details is not affiliated with PTA, NADRA or any mobile operator, and Nadir has no commercial relationship with any of the services he reviews. No company pays for a recommendation, and no page is written to sell a product. Every page carries his name because he believes readers deserve to know who is responsible for what they read — and who to contact when something is wrong. When a rule changes, he updates the guide and its date. When a reader spots an error, he checks it personally and publishes the correction with its source.
Get in touch with Nadir
Nadir reads every message sent to the site. If you have found an outdated code, a broken link, a factual error or a question the guides do not yet answer, write to contact@esimownerdetails.com. He cannot check or block a SIM on anyone’s behalf — only operators and PTA can — but he will always point you to the right official channel, and good questions often become new guides. You can see everything he has written on his author page.
How a guide earns its place here
Nothing gets published until it clears all four steps.
Research
Every code, rule and figure is traced back to an official PTA or NADRA source, or the actual text of PECA 2016.
Cross-check
We test it against the statute and current operator systems, and flag anything that doesn't line up with the facts.
Plain rewrite
Dense regulation becomes clear steps anyone can follow — in English and Roman Urdu, no jargon.
Date & review
We stamp the date, then re-check whenever PTA changes something. No named source, no publish.
What sets us apart from the "SIM data" crowd
A name on the work

We correct the fiction
Where other sites repeat invented dates and fake penalties, we name them and set the record straight.
