The Special Communications Organization (SCO) provides telecom services in Azad Jammu & Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan under the brand SCOM. It is a public-sector organisation and often the main — sometimes the only — network in remote valleys. SCOM mobile numbers start with 0355.

How to check your own SCO (SCOM) number
Use one of the reliable fallbacks: phone settings (Android: About phone → SIM status; iPhone: Settings → Phone → My Number), the printed SIM holder, or call a friend.
SIM verification
To see every SCO (SCOM) connection on your CNIC, use PTA's 668 service. If you find a SIM you didn't buy, visit an official SCO (SCOM) franchise or service centre with your original CNIC and ask for it to be blocked. Biometric (fingerprint) verification is required for new SIMs, ownership changes and duplicates — do it only at an official outlet.
Internet packages
SCO (SCOM) changes bundle prices and volumes often, so we don't list them here. For current daily, weekly and monthly offers, use the official SCO website. Before subscribing, check the validity period, fair-usage limits and whether social or video data is counted separately.
Balance checking
Check balance through SCO's official channels listed on sco.gov.pk. A small service charge may apply to some balance enquiries.
SIM replacement (lost, stolen or damaged)
- Call the SCO helpline or visit an outlet immediately to block the lost SIM.
- Visit an official SCO (SCOM) service centre or franchise with your original, valid CNIC.
- Complete biometric verification — the SIM must be registered in your name.
- Pay the replacement fee (if any) and receive a new SIM with the same number.
- Update OTP-linked accounts (banking, wallets) once the new SIM is active.
About SCO codes: Unlike the four national operators, SCO's own-number and balance codes are reported differently by different sources and we could not confirm them on an official SCO page. Rather than publish a code that may be wrong, we recommend calling the helpline listed on sco.gov.pk or checking the SIM packaging.
