How To Check Zong Number Without Balance
Here are all the steps you need to check your Zong number even if you don’t have any balance. You can use any of these ways to find your number.
Method 1: Check Zong Number with USSD Code
The first and fastest way to find your Zong number is by dailing a special code. This is called a USSD code. It’s works on all types of phones. Best of all, it’s completely free! You don’t need balance or internet.
Here’s how to do it:
- Pick up your cellphone and open the dialer (where you enter phone numbers).
- Type in 8# or 100#
- Press the call or send button
- Wait a few seconds
- A flash message will appear on your screen with your ZONG number
That’s it! Your Zong SIM number will pop up on your phone screen instantly when you dail USSD code. The whole process takes less than 10 seconds.
This method always works whether you have a basic button phone or the latest smartphone. You can use it at any time, from any location, as long as your phone is turned on.
If the first code doesn’t work, then try the other one. For example, if 8# shows an error, enter 100# instead. If the network is busy, you may need to try again.
Once you see your number, write it down or save it in your address book. This way you won’t forget it again!

Method 2: Check Your Zong Number by SMS
The secound method is to check your Zong SIM number by sending a text message. This works even when you don’t have money in your account or internet data. And it’s totaly free!
Follow these steps:
- Open the Messages app on your phone
- Compose a new SMS
- In the message, write MNP (just these 3 letters, nothing else)
- Send the SMS to 667
- Wait a few seconds for a reply
You will receive an SMS from Zong with your phone number. The response also indicates how long you’ve had this number. This is good information.
Make sure you type MNP in capital letters. Don’t add any spaces or other words. If you write it wrong, the trick won’t work.
If you do not receive a message, check that your mobile has a network signal. But if your signal is weak, the SMS may not go through. Wait for a minute or try again later.
Sending an SMS is a convenient way to check your Zong number without using up your balance. Give it a try if the USSD code method didn’t work for you.

Common Myths and Wrong Information
- PTA Website Method (cnic.sims.pk):
- What people claim: You can check your Zong number through PTA website (PTA is a GOV website)
- The truth: This website only shows how many SIM cards are registered on your CNIC
- You can see the total number of SIMs, but NOT the actual phone numbers
- It’s useful for checking if someone has registered extra SIMs on your CNIC without your permission, but not for checking your number.
- My Zong App Method:
- What people claim: You can check your number through the My Zong App
- Why this is wrong: To use the My Zong App, you need to:
- First login to the app
- Provide your phone number for verification
- Receive and enter a verification code
- The problem: If you don’t know your number, how can you login to check your number? It’s a circular problem
- This makes the app useless for finding an unknown number
- Phone Settings Method:
- What people claim: Your number is stored in phone settings
- The truth: Most phones don’t show the complete number in setting
- This feature isn’t trusted and doesn’t work on many phones
- Some phones display only limited details or no numbers at all.
