What “live tracker” really means
“Live tracking” suggests seeing a phone’s precise, real-time location. In Pakistan, this is not available to the public. Real-time triangulation or GPS access is restricted to law-enforcement processes and requires a lawful request. Any website claiming otherwise is either outdated, illegal, or a phishing risk.
What the public can legally do (and can’t)
- You can: Check SIMs on your CNIC via 668, verify your own SIM ownership with your operator, and request action on harassment through official channels.
- You cannot: Obtain another person’s full CNIC, address, or get their live location without an authorized legal process.
Myths vs Facts
| Claim | Status | Reality |
|---|---|---|
| “Enter a number to see live location instantly.” | False | Only LEAs can request real-time traces; public tools don’t provide this. |
| “Free database shows full CNIC & address.” | Illegal/Misleading | Publishing another person’s CNIC or address violates privacy and law. |
| “You can verify SIMs registered on your CNIC.” | True | Send your CNIC (without dashes) to 668 for official counts per operator. |
Step-by-step: handle harassment or fraud
- Collect evidence: screenshots, call logs, message timestamps.
- File complaint: Use the citizen portal / nearest police station / cybercrime wing.
- Operator support: Call from the impacted SIM (Jazz 111, Zong 310, Ufone 333, Telenor 345) to request blocking/help.
- Follow through: Provide FIR/complaint details if an official trace or subscriber record is needed.
Operator quick actions
- Confirm your own SIM ownership: via official app or helpline from the same number.
- Block SIM or services: request temporary block if your number is compromised.
- Change SIM / re-issue: with CNIC verification at franchise/service center.
Safety checklist (2025)
- Use only official codes (e.g., 668) and operator apps/websites.
- Never share OTPs, full CNIC, or selfie-video verifications in DMs.
- Regularly review SIMs registered on your CNIC and close unused ones.
Reminder: If a website asks you to pay for “live tracking,” treat it as a red flag. At best it will show stale or fabricated data; at worst it’s a data-harvesting scam.
