In the realm of telecommunications, particularly in Pakistan, a common query that often arises is “which network code is this?” This question stems from the fact that each telecom network has a unique set of codes, also known as SIM codes, which are used to identify the network. These codes are assigned by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority and are integral to differentiating between the various networks operating in the country.
There are six active telecom networks in Pakistan, namely Jazz, Zong, Telenor, Ufone, Warid, and SCOM. Each of these networks has been allocated a specific series of serial numbers or network codes, which range from 00 to 55. However, there is a significant gap between each network’s serial number.
Jazz SIM Codes
Jazz, being the first network in Pakistan in terms of its affordable packages, extensive coverage, large subscriber base, and high-speed connectivity, has been placed at the top by the telecom authorities. The serial numbers for Jazz, also known as SIM codes, start with “0”.
