Forgetting your own mobile number is a common issue, especially when using multiple SIMs or data-only devices. If you have a Zong SIM in Pakistan and need to check your number quickly, this comprehensive guide covers every working method for 2025—including USSD codes, SMS options, app usage, helpline details, and valuable extra tips.
Zong Number Check Code *8# or *100#
The simplest and most reliable method to find your Zong number is by dialing a USSD code:
- Open your phone’s dial pad.
- Dial *8# or *100# using your Zong SIM.
- Your full mobile number will immediately display on your screen.
This service is free, requires no balance, does not need internet access, and works across Pakistan from large cities to remote areas. Use whichever code responds as some older SIMs might support *100#, while newer ones prefer *8#.
For users whose devices may not respond to these, another verified alternative is dialing *310030092*4# which will print your number on screen.
Alternative Method: Check Number via SMS (MNP to 667)
If USSD codes are unavailable or inconvenient:
- Open your messaging app.
- Compose a new SMS and type “MNP” (without quotes).
- Send it to 667.
- Shortly after, you will receive an SMS with your Zong number and registered details.
Please note this method may incur a small SMS charge depending on your tariff plan.
Use the My Zong App for Number and Account Details
For smartphone users, the My Zong App provides a seamless experience:
- Download the app from Google Play or Apple App Store.
- Open it with active Zong mobile data.
- Your Zong number is displayed right on the app’s main dashboard.
Besides number checking, the app offers balance checks, package activations, usage history, and exclusive offers—making it highly convenient for regular users.
Call Zong Helpline (310) for Personalized Assistance
If other methods fail or you want official help:
- Dial 310 from your Zong SIM to reach customer support.
- You may need to verify your identity with details like CNIC or last recharge.
- The operator will share your Zong number and assist with any other queries.
Helpline calls might incur standard call charges depending on your plan.
How to Check Your Zong Number if SIM Is in a Data-Only Device
Many customers use Zong SIMs exclusively for mobile internet in MiFi devices or dongles. To check the number in such cases:
- Remove the SIM card and insert it into any mobile phone, then dial *8# or *100# as usual.
- Alternatively, connect a device (phone or PC) to the MiFi’s Wi-Fi, open a browser, and visit the device’s admin panel (commonly 192.168.8.1). Some devices show SIM and network details in their settings.
These approaches ensure you never lose track of your number even in specialized usage.
Real-Life Stories from Zong Users
