Method 1: Check Telenor Balance via *444#
The primary Telenor balance check code is *444#. This USSD code works on all Telenor Pakistan SIMs with no internet connection required.
- Open your phone dialler.
- Dial *444# and press the call button.
- A USSD screen appears within 2–3 seconds.
- The response shows your main cash balance, active bundle summary, and expiry date.
Understanding Your *444# Balance Response
| Response Field | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Balance: Rs. XX.XX | Main cash balance available for calls, SMS, and out-of-bundle data |
| Exp: DD-MM-YYYY | Date when main balance expires if no recharge |
| Data: XX MB/GB | Remaining internet data from active bundle |
| Minutes: XX | Free minutes from active bundle |
| Bundle: [Name] | Currently active package name |
Method 2: *222# — Combined Balance and Data Check
Dialling *222# on Telenor provides both your cash balance and your data balance in a single response — useful when you want a quick overview without checking both codes separately. The response format is slightly more condensed than *444# but includes data balance which *444# may omit depending on your bundle type.
Method 3: Check Telenor Data Balance — *999#
For a dedicated data balance check, dial *999#. This code shows your remaining internet data with more detail than *444# — including the active package name, data remaining in MB or GB, and the exact expiry time (not just date).
Method 4: My Telenor App
- Download My Telenor from Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
- Log in with your Telenor number — OTP sent on first login.
- The home dashboard shows your full account status: cash balance, data remaining (with day/night split where applicable), free minutes, free SMS, and all active bundles with expiry times.
- Tap any bundle to see full details and renewal options.
- Use the “Subscribe” tab to activate new daily, weekly, or monthly bundles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Telenor balance check code in Pakistan?
The primary Telenor balance check code is *444#. Dial it from any Telenor SIM to see your main cash balance, active bundle summary, and expiry date. For data balance specifically, use *999#. For a combined view, *222# shows both cash and data in one response.
How do I check Telenor data balance?
Dial *999# to check your remaining Telenor internet data. The response shows data remaining, active package name, and expiry time. The My Telenor app provides the most detailed view including day/night data split and all active bundle contents.
Why is my Telenor balance reducing automatically?
Most commonly caused by an active VAS subscription auto-renewing. Dial *726# to see all active VAS services, or SMS “UNSUB ALL” to 1234 to cancel all subscriptions. Other causes: expired bundle charging out-of-bundle rates, or advance balance repayment deducting from new recharge.
How do I get Telenor advance balance when my credit is low?
Dial *190# to request Telenor advance credit. Amounts range from PKR 5 to PKR 30 depending on your account history. The advance is automatically repaid from your next recharge. A PKR 2 service charge applies per advance request.
What does *222# show on Telenor?
*222# on Telenor shows a combined response with your cash balance and internet data balance in a single USSD screen. It is a faster way to check both resources together compared to checking *444# and *999# separately.

Telenor Advance Balance — Khushaal Loan Service
Telenor’s Khushaal advance balance service lets subscribers borrow credit when their balance is low. The advanced amount is automatically deducted from the next top-up along with a service fee.
| Advance Amount | Activation Code | Service Charge | Eligibility |

| PKR 15 | *5# | PKR 3 | Active SIM with usage history |
| PKR 30 | *5*2# | PKR 5 | Active SIM, 30+ days usage |
| PKR 60 | *5*3# | PKR 10 | Active SIM, 60+ days usage |

Telenor SIM Registration and NADRA Verification in Pakistan
All Telenor SIMs must be registered with NADRA under the SIM Re-verification regulations mandated by PTA. An unregistered or improperly registered Telenor SIM will have restricted services — outgoing calls may be disabled. To verify your SIM registration status: send your National Identity Card number to 668. You will receive an SMS showing how many SIMs are registered against your CNIC across all operators.
If you need to re-register your Telenor SIM (due to a CNIC change, incorrect registration, or acquisition of a new SIM), visit a Telenor Franchise or Easy Load retailer with biometric capabilities. Bring your original CNIC — photocopies are not accepted for biometric re-verification.
Telenor Balance Transfer to Another Telenor Number
Telenor allows subscribers to transfer credit to another Telenor number using the Har Number Recharge (HNR) service. Dial *1*recipient_number*amount# — for example, to send PKR 50 to 0345-1234567, dial *1*03451234567*50#. A service charge applies (typically 10% of the transferred amount). Minimum transfer is PKR 20; maximum per day is PKR 500. Only main account balance can be transferred — bundle data and bonus balance cannot be transferred.
Troubleshooting Telenor Balance Issues
- Balance showing negative — you have used advance balance; the negative amount will be deducted from your next recharge automatically
- *444# not responding — network congestion; try again after 30 seconds, or use the My Telenor app instead
- Balance deducted for data when bundle active — check if bundle is active with *999#; if bundle shows 0 bytes remaining, data is charging from main balance
- Recharge not reflected in balance — wait 5 minutes and check again; peak hours can delay balance updates; call 345 if not updated after 15 minutes
What is the Telenor balance check code in Pakistan?
The Telenor balance check code is *444#. Dialling this from your Telenor number shows your remaining main account balance in PKR and your SMS balance. For data balance specifically, dial *999# to see remaining MBs or GBs and the expiry date of your active data bundle.
Telenor Active Packages — How to Check and Unsubscribe
Telenor offers a range of call, SMS, and data bundles that auto-renew or are one-time activations. To check your currently active Telenor packages and bundles: dial *345# to open the Telenor self-service menu. Select option 2 (My Account) then option 1 (Active Bundles) to see a complete list of all running bundles with their expiry dates and remaining allowances. Alternatively, the My Telenor app Dashboard shows all active bundles in a single screen with progress bars showing remaining usage.
To stop an auto-renewing Telenor bundle: dial *345# and navigate to My Account then Manage Subscriptions, select the bundle, and choose Unsubscribe. If you are unsure which bundle is deducting from your balance, check the transaction history in the My Telenor app under Account then Transactions. This shows every deduction with timestamps, making it easy to identify unexpected charges from auto-subscribed value-added services that Telenor sometimes activates by default on new SIMs.
Telenor SIM Owner Verification in Pakistan
To verify which SIMs are registered under your CNIC across all Pakistani networks including Telenor, send your CNIC number to 668. You will receive an SMS showing the count of SIMs registered per operator under your identity. This is a free service mandated by PTA. If you see Telenor SIMs you did not register, contact Telenor customer care on 345 immediately to report the unauthorised registration and request de-registration. Unauthorised SIMs registered under your CNIC could be used for fraudulent activities and you would bear legal responsibility if not reported. The 668 verification service works from any Pakistani SIM regardless of operator.
