• Has no user registration, login, or account management system
• Does not log or store any SIM verification queries submitted by users

12.3 Verification Happens Directly With Operators — Not Us

When you use official codes such as 668 or 667 as described on this Website, your SMS or data request goes directly to PTA’s infrastructure or your mobile operator’s systems — not through SimOwner.net.pk. We are never in the data path. You are responsible for:
