Want to know who owns the SIM card in your phone? Send MNP to 667. Within 5 seconds, you’ll receive the registered owner’s name, partially masked CNIC number, and network operator. It’s the fastest SIM verification method in Pakistan — and it’s completely free.
SimOwnerDetailss.org.pk provides the most detailed guide to using the MNP 667 service, including step-by-step instructions, result interpretation, troubleshooting, and advanced uses that most people don’t know about.
What Is MNP 667?
MNP stands for Mobile Number Portability — the system that allows Pakistanis to switch operators while keeping their phone number. The 667 shortcode was originally designed for MNP queries, but PTA expanded its functionality to include instant SIM ownership verification.
When you send the text MNP to 667, PTA’s system identifies the SIM currently in your phone and returns the registered owner’s information from the central database. This happens in 5 to 10 seconds, requires no internet, and works on any phone.
How to Use MNP 667 — Step by Step
Step 1: Insert the SIM You Want to Verify
Put the SIM card you want to check into your phone. It can be your own SIM, a SIM you found, a SIM from a purchased phone, or any SIM you have physical access to.
Step 2: Type MNP
Open your Messages app and type exactly three letters: MNP in capital letters.
Correct:
✅ MNPIncorrect:
❌ mnp (lowercase — may not work on all networks)
❌ MNP check
❌ MNP 03001234567
❌ CNIC number (that's for 668, not 667)Step 3: Send to 667
Send the message to shortcode 667. Not 668 (that’s for CNIC check). Specifically 667.
Step 4: Receive Instant Results
Within 5 to 10 seconds, you receive a reply containing:
- Registered owner’s full name
- CNIC number (partially masked: 35201-XXXXXX-1)
- Network operator name
- SIM registration status
[H2] How to Read Your 667 Results
Sample Result:
Dear Customer,
SIM 03001234567 is registered as:
Name: Ahmed Hassan
CNIC: 35201-XXXXXX-1
Network: Jazz/Mobilink
Status: Active
BVS: VerifiedWhat Each Field Means:
Name: The person whose CNIC was used to register this SIM. This should be YOUR name if it’s your SIM. If a different name appears, the SIM may be registered under someone else’s identity.
CNIC: Partially masked for privacy. Only the first 5 and last digit are shown. This matches the registered CNIC holder’s identity.
Network: The current operator. Shows the network the SIM belongs to.
Status: Active means the SIM is fully operational. May also show Suspended, Blocked, or Inactive.
BVS: Biometric Verification Status. “Verified” means biometric registration is complete. “Not Verified” means the SIM may face blocking.
When to Use 667 (vs 668)
| Scenario | Use 667 | Use 668 |
|---|---|---|
| Check who owns a specific SIM | ✅ Best | ❌ |
| Count all SIMs on your CNIC | ❌ | ✅ Best |
| Verify a purchased phone’s SIM | ✅ Best | ❌ |
| Monthly CNIC monitoring | ❌ | ✅ Best |
| Check biometric status | ✅ Good | ❌ |
| Verify a found SIM | ✅ Best | ❌ |
Use both together for complete verification. 668 tells you how many SIMs exist. 667 tells you who owns each specific SIM. Together they give you the complete picture.
Both methods are covered comprehensively on our SIM owner details platform along with 5 additional official PTA verification methods — all completely free.
Advanced Uses of 667
Use 1: Verify a Second-Hand Phone Purchase
Before buying a used phone, insert the seller’s SIM and send MNP to 667. If the registered name doesn’t match the seller’s identity, the phone or SIM may be stolen. Walk away from the deal.
Use 2: Check Your Own Registration Accuracy
Send MNP to 667 from each of your SIMs. Confirm YOUR name appears on all of them. Franchise errors sometimes register SIMs under wrong identities. Catching this early prevents problems later.
Use 3: Verify Biometric Status
The 667 response includes BVS status. If it shows “Not Verified,” visit a franchise immediately for biometric re-verification. Unverified SIMs face progressive restrictions and permanent blocking after 120 days.
Use 4: Confirm SIM Transfer Completion
After transferring SIM ownership at a franchise, send MNP to 667 from the transferred SIM. The new owner’s name should now appear. If the old name still shows, the transfer hasn’t processed — follow up with the franchise.
