How to Check Your Own SIM Code in Pakistan (2026 Guide)

Want to know which mobile network you're using? Whether you've forgotten your network operator or need to verify your SIM code for registration purposes, this guide shows you 5 easy ways to check your own SIM code in Pakistan.

What is a SIM Code?

A SIM code (also called mobile prefix or network code) is the first 4 digits of your Pakistani mobile number (03XX). These digits identify which network operator your SIM belongs to - Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone, or SCOM.

Example: If your number is 0324-1234567, your SIM code is 0324 (Jazz network).

Method 1: Check the First 4 Digits of Your Number ✅

FAQs

Can I change my SIM code?

No, your SIM code is permanent and identifies your network operator. However, you can port your number to another network while keeping the same number through MNP (Mobile Number Portability).

What if my number starts with 03 but isn't listed?

All Pakistani mobile numbers start with 03XX. If your code isn't in the standard list (0300-0355), contact PTA (Pakistan Telecommunication Authority) for verification.

How do I find a lost SIM card's number?

If you've lost your SIM and don't remember the number:

1. Check if you saved it in the cloud contacts
2. Ask friends who have your number
3. Check old messages or call logs from another device
4. Visit your network's franchise with CNIC for number recovery

Can two networks have the same code?

No, each SIM code (03XX) is uniquely assigned to one network operator by PTA. There's no overlap.
