SCOM SIM Details: AJK & GB Guide [2026]

Every other guide here covers a private company. This one covers a public service: scom sim details start with SCO, the Special Communications Organization, the government body behind SCOM, the mobile network of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. Different owner, different map, different answers.

SCOM Is SCO: The AJK and GB Network

SCO is a public sector organization under the Ministry of IT, established in 1976 for telecom services in AJK and GB, under Section 40 of the Pakistan Telecommunication (Re-Organization) Act 1996. SCOM launched GSM in 2004, added 3G and 4G in August 2017, and is AJK and GB’s largest network, covering nearly 450 towns and villages.

SCOM connections are sold only in AJK and GB, yet the SIM roams nationwide. Biometric verification and the 8 SIM cap apply as elsewhere, but DIRBS does not operate in AJK and GB, so non-PTA phones commonly run on SCOM there. PTA’s Q2 2026 QoS survey ranked SCOM first in AJK and GB.

Check Your SCOM SIM’s Registration

Send your CNIC to 668 for the count of SIMs on your CNIC, or use the free cnic.sims.pk portal: operator-wise counts only, never names or numbers. For the SIM in hand, text MNP to 667.

SCOM has no operator BVS short code of its own, unlike Jazz 6001, Telenor 7751 and Zong 7911. Own-number codes online conflict, *999# against *235# and more: none is verified. Use the SCO App, which shows your name and number, or call 355.

SCOM SIM Replacement: No Published Fee

The honest blank: SCO publishes no replacement fee, and no current new SIM price is published anywhere. The only anchor is historical: a PTA order effective 1 December 2016 set a Rs 200 minimum price for a new SIM in Pakistan as well as AJK and GB. That 2016 floor is not a 2026 price: pay what the centre quotes and take the receipt.

Process: visit a franchise or SCO Customer Service Centre with your original CNIC, pass the fingerprint match; the replacement is issued on the same number. Disowning is a different process with its own rules.

SCOM eSIM

SCO’s official eSIM page documents the steps: biometric verification before activation, a QR code after registration, the plan added through phone settings. Change phones and you need a new QR code; never share the QR code.

Price honesty again: no SCOM eSIM price is published anywhere. Do not assume the PTA Rs 1,500 cap for the national operators applies to SCO in AJK and GB; that was not verified, so confirm the charge at the centre first.

Contact SCOM and Find a Centre

• Helpline: call 355 from an SCOM number, 24/7; from anywhere, UAN 111-SCO-SCO (111-726-726).
• Feedback and email: feedback line 1218; complaints@sco.gov.pk, support@sco.gov.pk and info@sco.gov.pk.
• In person: sco.gov.pk carries the Customer Service Centre and Franchises directories for AJK and GB.
• Myth-bust: 1236 appears on no official SCO page. SCO’s numbers are 355 and 111-726-726.
