About Zong
Zong is the brand of China Mobile Pakistan. As well as its original 0310 to 0319 codes, it uses 0370 and 0371 for newer numbers.
Zong sells many data-only SIMs for internet devices. A data SIM registered on your CNIC counts toward your limit of three data SIMs, so close the ones you no longer use.
Found a Zong SIM that isn't yours?
- Take a screenshot of the result with the date showing.
- Call the Zong helpline on 310. Say a SIM is registered on your CNIC without your permission and ask for a complaint number.
- Visit a Zong franchise or customer service centre with your original CNIC and ask for the SIM to be blocked and disowned.
- If that doesn't solve it, complain to PTA on 0800-55055.
Fees, the one-year rule and SIM transfer are covered in how to block or disown a SIM.
Can you find the owner of a Zong number?
No. Neither Zong nor PTA gives out the name, CNIC or address behind a number, and no website has lawful access to that record. Zong staff will only discuss a SIM with its registered owner.
What you can do with an unknown Zong number is explained in SIM owner details by number.
