If you find a SIM that is not yours
Go to a franchise or customer centre of that mobile company with your original CNIC. After biometric verification they can block the SIM or remove it from your CNIC. A SIM on your CNIC is your legal responsibility, so do this quickly.
Beware of "SIM owner details" websites
Some websites claim to show the name, CNIC or address of any mobile number. This data is leaked and illegal to share, and many of these sites are scams. Only PTA and the mobile companies can confirm SIM ownership, and only to the owner.
Balance and remaining internet
To check your balance, remaining internet or minutes, open the page of your network: Jazz, Zong or Ufone.

About the SIM Data Check
SIM ownership checks help you see which mobile numbers are registered against your CNIC. In Pakistan, SIMs are linked to CNICs through biometric verification, and you are responsible for SIMs issued in your name.
Checking regularly helps you spot SIMs you do not recognise, which could be misused. If you find unknown numbers, you can ask the relevant operator to block them.
This page explains the official ways to check. SoftBar does not access or store any SIM or CNIC data.
