Warid SMS bundles operate on the Jazz network — Warid SIM holders can activate SMS packages using both Warid-legacy codes and Jazz SMS bundle codes, with delivery over the Jazz network.
| Package | On-Net SMS | Off-Net SMS | Price | Code | Validity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warid Daily SMS | 500 | 100 | Rs. 5 | *2296# | 1 day |
| Warid Weekly SMS | 4,000 | 400 | Rs. 20 | *2297# | 7 days |
| Warid Monthly SMS Popular | 12,000 | 1,200 | Rs. 50 | *2298# | 30 days |
Check Whether You Already Have SMS in a Combined Bundle
Many Warid users on monthly combined plans already get SMS included alongside
calls and data. Before buying a standalone SMS bundle, dial *1111#
and navigate to My Packages. If your current plan shows "SMS: 500" or any similar
remaining count, those are your included messages — no need for an additional bundle.
If you need SMS specifically for a government service interaction — for example, sending your CNIC to 8171 for BISP status or to 8300 for a NADRA query — a small daily bundle is usually the most economical option rather than leaving it to deduct from your main balance.
Pick a Warid SMS Bundle and Activate
Warid SMS packages mirror what's available on Jazz, since the network is shared. Daily bundles cover one-off SMS needs, while monthly bundles suit regular texters. Dial the code from the table, press Call, and wait for the on-screen confirmation. As with all Warid packages, Jazz SMS codes also work on your Warid SIM — so if a Warid code returns an error, use the equivalent Jazz SMS code from the Jazz SMS Packages guide.
Verify the Bundle Is Active
Send a test SMS to any number — a friend's contact or even a balance check
short code like 1230. Then check *1111# to confirm the SMS count
in your package has decreased by one. If your main balance dropped instead,
the bundle may not have activated — try again or use the Jazz World app to
subscribe directly through the interface.
What to Do if Activation Doesn't Work
Use the equivalent Jazz SMS code — *101# for daily, *101*2# for weekly, *101*3# for monthly. These work on all Jazz-network SIMs including Warid.
Short code delivery can occasionally fail during peak traffic on government portals. Retry after 15–30 minutes. This is a portal issue, not a SIM or bundle problem.
Some Warid combined bundles provide on-net SMS only. If you sent an SMS to a Jazz, Telenor, or Zong number and the main balance dropped, your bundle covers on-net Warid-to-Warid only. Activate an off-net SMS addon or a Jazz SMS bundle with broader coverage.
