To check the status of registered SIMs, consumers can use following methods: by visiting https://cnic.sims.pk or sending an SMS with CNIC number (without dashes) to 668 (charges apply).

In a press release issued on Friday, that the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) said that all consumers are advised to disown or return unnecessary SIMs, free of charge latest by December 31, 2023.
