Every mobile number in Pakistan begins with a network code, which is a four-digit prefix that enables users to identify the telecom provider that owns the number. 0324 is one such code that frequently leads to misunderstandings. Which network, then, is 0324 a part of?
This blog post will explain which networks use the 0324 code, how these codes operate, and how to use PTA services to confirm the real operator of any number.
To which network does 0324 belong?
0324 is a network code for Jazz (Mobilink).
Therefore, if you get a call or text from a number that begins with 0324, it was initially sent by Jazz, which is the biggest mobile network in Pakistan.

📱 What Is a Network Code?
A network code (also called a prefix) is the first four digits after the 0
or +92
in a Pakistani mobile number. It tells you which network issued the number originally.
For example:
0324-XXXXXXX
→ Jazz0315-XXXXXXX
→ Zong0345-XXXXXXX
→ Telenor0333-XXXXXXX
→ Ufone
🔄 Can a 0324 Number Be on Another Network?
Yes. In Pakistan, due to Mobile Number Portability (MNP), users can switch from Jazz to another network while keeping their original number — including the prefix like 0324
.
This means a 0324 number might be using Zong, Telenor, or Ufone if it has been ported.
🧾 How to Check the Current Network of Any Number
To confirm the actual network (after porting), you can use PTA’s number check service:
✅ Method: Send SMS
- Open your messaging app.
- Type the number you want to check (e.g.,
0324XXXXXXX
) - Send it to 667
- You’ll receive an SMS showing the current network (e.g., Jazz, Zong, Telenor, etc.)
