SCOM SIM Owner Details: How to Check SCO SIM Ownership in Pakistan (2027)
SCOM — run by the government-owned Special Communications Organization (SCO) — is the only network across most of Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. Here's the complete, PTA-authorized way to see exactly how many SCOM (and other-network) SIMs sit on your own CNIC, confirm their status, and clear one you didn't register.
What "SCOM SIM Owner Details" Actually Covers
SCOM is the mobile brand of the Special Communications Organization, a public-sector body under Pakistan's Ministry of IT & Telecom that has built and run telecom infrastructure across Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan since 1976. In terrain where private operators like Jazz, Zong, Telenor, and Ufone only reach the bigger cities, SCOM is frequently the sole signal for entire valleys along the Karakoram Highway, the Line of Control belt, and high-altitude districts — which is exactly why so many households in Muzaffarabad, Mirpur, Rawalakot, Gilgit, Skardu, and Hunza search for a reliable way to check what's registered against their CNIC.
Like every operator in Pakistan, SCOM SIMs are bound to a Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) through NADRA's biometric matching and recorded in PTA's Subscriber Verification Management System (SVMS). "SCOM SIM owner details" simply means that CNIC-to-SIM record — how many SCOM lines (and lines on any other network) sit under your own identity, and whether each one has completed biometric verification.
One thing worth stating plainly before anything else: none of the official tools below will return a stranger's name, address, or CNIC just because you have their phone number. They confirm what's registered under your own identity, or the status of the physical SIM in your hand — nothing more.
Clear Signal vs. Static: SCOM Ownership Checks
"There's a website where I enter any SCOM number and it shows me the CNIC and home address of the person it belongs to."
PTA's 668, the cnic.sims.pk portal, and SCOM's own franchise counters only ever confirm records tied to your own CNIC, or the exact SIM inserted in your phone — never a third party's identity from their number alone.
Legal notice
Under Section 16 of the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA), 2016, obtaining another person's identity information — including CNIC-linked SIM ownership — without authorization is a criminal offence, and can carry imprisonment on conviction. Every method below returns information tied only to your own CNIC or the SIM you are physically holding.
Send Your CNIC to 668 — Covers SCOM Too
This is PTA's shared, operator-agnostic tool, and as of PTA's 2026 biometric re-verification drive, SCOM is fully integrated into it. In earlier years SCOM lines sometimes didn't show up in a 668 reply — that gap has since closed, and SCOM now appears in the same per-operator breakdown as Jazz, Zong, Telenor, and Ufone.
Open Messages on any phone
The SIM sending the text doesn't need to be a SCOM line — any active Pakistani number on any network works.
Type your 13-digit CNIC
No dashes, no spaces — for example 3520112345678.
Send it to 668
A small standard SMS fee applies, typically around Rs. 2 including tax.
Read the per-operator reply
Within roughly 30 seconds to a few minutes, you'll get a breakdown that lists SCOM alongside every other network your CNIC is registered on. In low-signal SCOM coverage areas, allow a little longer for delivery.
The cnic.sims.pk Web Portal
Prefer a browser, checking from abroad, or sitting somewhere with weak SCOM signal but a working Wi-Fi connection? PTA mirrors the exact same lookup as a web portal at cnic.sims.pk. Enter your CNIC, clear the CAPTCHA, and submit — you'll see the identical operator-wise count shown by 668, SCOM included, without needing to send an SMS at all. It's free, available around the clock, and is the practical route for overseas Pakistanis with family SIMs registered back home in AJK or GB.
MNP Verification for the SCOM SIM in Your Hand (667)
SCOM doesn't run its own dedicated biometric-status shortcode the way Jazz uses 6001 or Telenor uses 7751. Instead, for a single SIM already in your phone — say, a secondhand SCOM SIM, or one you're double-checking after Mobile Number Portability (MNP) — send the text MNP to 667 directly from that SIM. This pulls registration confirmation for that specific line rather than your full CNIC-wide count, so treat it as a narrower check that complements 668 rather than replacing it.
Attempting to run this check against a number that isn't yours — hoping to identify its registered owner — is exactly the kind of unauthorized lookup PECA 2016 prohibits, regardless of which shortcode is used.
Confirming Whether a Number Is Currently on SCOM
Because of number portability, a number's prefix doesn't guarantee its current operator — a line that started on SCOM may have ported to a private network when the subscriber moved to a bigger city, and vice versa. To confirm a number's live, current network before assuming it's still on SCOM, send the number as an SMS to 76367. This is useful before relying on a SCOM-specific package offer, or before assuming a family member's old "SCOM number" still is one.
SCOM Franchise Visits & the Customer Care Portal
Because SCOM operates in terrain where digital self-service isn't always reliable, the organization leans more heavily on in-person service than private operators do. Two official channels sit alongside the SMS methods above:
- SCOM Customer Care Portal — apps.sco.gov.pk handles bill payment, duplicate bills, and account-level queries online, and is the fastest way to reach SCOM support without traveling to a franchise.
- Nearest SCOM franchise or Customer Facilitation Centre — with your original CNIC in hand, staff can confirm the exact number, activation date, and biometric status of any SCOM line registered to you, and can action a disowning request on the spot if a line isn't yours.
For the SCO organization's general information, service areas, and contact details, see the official site at sco.gov.pk.
How SCOM's Verification Differs From Private Operators
The CNIC-wide checks — 668 and cnic.sims.pk — work identically no matter which operator's SIMs turn up in the result, because they read from one shared PTA registry rather than a SCOM-only system. What genuinely differs operator to operator is the dedicated biometric-status shortcode for a SIM already in hand: Jazz uses 6001, Telenor uses 7751, and SCOM has no equivalent code of its own — 667 (MNP) and a franchise visit fill that role instead.
PTA also caps total SIM count per CNIC at five, combined across every network — so a SCOM line counts toward the same limit as a Jazz or Zong line, not a separate SCOM-only quota. With SCOM covering more than 450 towns and villages across remote, low-population, and sometimes security-sensitive terrain, its rural distribution footprint has historically created more opportunities for SIMs to be issued against a CNIC without the actual owner's knowledge — one more reason a periodic 668 check matters for anyone with roots in AJK or GB, even if they now live elsewhere.
If your household also holds SIMs on other networks, work through each operator's specific guide separately: see our Jazz SIM owner details walkthrough, Telenor SIM owner details guide, and Zong SIM owner details guide, since a single 668 reply tells you the count per operator but not which specific line needs attention.
Comparing Every Official SCOM Check
| Method | What It Checks | Best For | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMS to 668 | All SIMs on your CNIC, every network incl. SCOM | A complete audit | ~Rs. 2 |
| cnic.sims.pk | Same record as 668, browser-based | Overseas users, weak signal areas | Free |
| MNP to 667 | Registration of the SIM physically in hand | Secondhand or ported SCOM SIMs | Standard SMS rate |
| 76367 network check | A number's current live operator | Confirming after porting | Standard SMS rate |
| apps.sco.gov.pk | Bill, account & service status | Existing SCOM customers | Free |
| Franchise visit | Full record, biometric fix, disowning | Unauthorized SIM cases | Free (ID required) |
Found a SCOM SIM You Never Registered?
-
Re-confirm before reacting. Cross-check your 668 result against cnic.sims.pk — sometimes an old SIM from a previous trip to AJK or GB explains the extra count.
-
Visit your nearest SCOM franchise Bring your original CNIC. Staff can pull up the specific number, activation date, and biometric status of the unfamiliar line.
-
Request SIM disowning. Once confirmed unauthorized, SCOM can initiate blocking after a fresh biometric check, in line with PTA's SIM ownership policy.
-
Verify the fix. Send your CNIC to 668 again a couple of days later to confirm the line no longer appears in your count.
-
Escalate if unresolved. Call PTA's helpline on
0800-55055, or file through the PTA Complaint Management System, if the franchise visit doesn't clear things up.
SCOM SIM Owner Details — FAQs
Q01 Can I find out who owns a SCOM number that isn't mine?
No. Official channels — 668, cnic.sims.pk, 667, and SCOM's own franchise records — only return information tied to your own CNIC or the SIM in your hand. Looking up a stranger's identity from their number is an offence under PECA 2016.
Q02 Does SCOM have a biometric-check code like Jazz's 6001?
No. SCOM has no dedicated shortcode of its own. Use the universal 668 for a CNIC-wide count, or MNP to 667 for the specific SIM in hand; for a biometric-status fix, a franchise visit is the reliable route.
Q03 Why didn't my SCOM SIM show up in 668 before?
Prior to PTA's 2026 biometric re-verification drive, SCOM lines were sometimes missing from 668 replies. SCOM is now fully integrated, so a current 668 check will include it alongside every other operator.
Q04 How many SIMs can I hold across all networks, including SCOM?
PTA caps the total at five per CNIC, combined across every operator — SCOM lines count toward that same shared limit, not a separate quota.
Q05 Can overseas Pakistanis with family SIMs in AJK or GB check remotely?
Yes — cnic.sims.pk works from any country without an active local SIM, making it the practical option for checking a SCOM record from abroad.
Q06 My SCOM SIM shows unverified — what now?
Visit your nearest SCOM franchise or Customer Facilitation Centre with your original CNIC to redo biometric verification. Unverified lines risk suspension, so it's worth handling promptly.
