Other ways to check my own number
Use the official app
Install Jazz World, My Zong, My Telenor or My Ufone from the Play Store or App Store. After you log in with your SIM, your number is shown on the home screen. These apps also show balance, packages and bills.
Check phone settings
On many Android phones, go to Settings → About phone → Status → SIM status. On iPhone, go to Settings → Phone → My Number. This does not work on every SIM, but it is worth a try.
Call a friend
The oldest trick still works: call or send an SMS to a friend and ask them to read your number.
Call your helpline
Call 111 (Jazz), 310 (Zong), 345 (Telenor) or 333 (Ufone). An agent or the automated system can tell you the number.
Dual-SIM phones
If your phone has two SIMs, make sure you dial the code from the correct SIM. Most phones ask which SIM to use when you call. Choose the one whose number you want.
Want to see all numbers on your CNIC?
The codes above show the number of the SIM inside your phone. To see how many SIMs are registered on your CNIC, send your CNIC to 668 or use cnic.sims.pk. Our guide on how to check SIMs on your CNIC explains both methods. If you find a SIM you do not recognise, block it right away.
Keep your number safe
- Never share one-time codes (OTPs) sent to your number.
- Be careful with apps that ask for permission to read your SMS.
- Only use official operator apps — see which SIM apps are safe.
