Making & Receiving calls

It is no different for "Namaste". You can make and receive calls just like any normal mobile phone.
You will be able to make calls, as long as your account is not expired or you have balance amount remaining in your "Namaste" account.

Note: Please refer to your mobile phone manual for details on how to make and receive calls.

How "Namaste" works

As you make a call using "Namaste", the cost of the call is automatically deducted from your account. This deduction includes the rate of call with all the taxes involved.
To replenish your "Namaste" account, all you have to do is call 1414 and recharge your account by using a recharge card.

States Of "Namaste" Subscriber

  1. IDLE When Pre-Paid SIM card is purchased, it is in this state until it makes one call. In this state, the subscriber is not registered to the system and hence can not make or receive any call.

  2. ACTIVE When a first call is made from a Pre-Paid SIM card, its state changes from Idle to Active. In the beginning, Rs. 100 is automatically added to its account and the validity period of 1 month is given. This is the working state of subscriber. The subscriber will remain Active as long as its account is recharged regularly.

  3. SUSPEND When the Active period of Pre-paid subscriber is finished, it goes into Suspend state. In this state, no voice call can be made or received even if there is remaining balance amount in the account. The subscriber can dial only the management number (1414 ) for recharge and balance query but can receive Short Messages. This period is 15 days and if subscriber recharges its account, the state is changed to Active and the remaining balance is also transferred.

  4. DISABLE When subscriber fails to recharge its account within Suspend period, its state is changed to Disable. Then pre-paid subscriber�s account balance will be reset to ZERO and can not make or receive any call except 1414 for recharge. This period is 30 days. The pre-paid account has to be recharged within this period if subscriber wants to retain the account (MSISDN). After this period, the number is permanently deleted from the system.

Account balance query:

"Namaste" subscribers can check their account balance by themselves. To check the account balance:
  • Dial 1414 and listen.
  • Press 2 and listen. Then press 1 again for account balance query.
    OR
  • Each time you recharge your account, the system will inform you of your new account balance and expiry date.
  • OR Dial *400#.

Note: You will receive SMS reminder for recharging your account when your account balance becomes less than Rs.50. When your balance will be less than Rs.25, you will again be reminded through SMS. If you choose not to recharge your account now, then every time you try to make a call, you will hear reminder for recharging before the call setup. You can continue to use your phone until your account balance becomes zero. A reminder tone (beep tone) will be heard when you have 15 seconds of call time remaining.

Recharge Cards

Recharge cards are available in five denominations of RS. 50, Rs. 100, Rs. 200, Rs.500 and Rs.1000. The costs of these cards are Rs.50, Rs. 100, Rs. 200, Rs.500 and Rs.1000 respectively. click here to view the recharge card validity

Recharge cards contain 13 and 14 digits PIN which is covered with Black Ink for security. You have to use this PIN for recharging your account. Please do not purchase the card, if the ink is tampered

How to recharge your account?

  • Gently scratch the masking off the back of your recharge card to reveal 13 digits PIN.
  • Dial 1414 from your own Pre-Paid mobile phone and listen.
  • Press 1 and listen.
  • When system ask to enter the PIN number of the recharge card, enter all the 13 digits of your recharge card PIN correctly and listen. You do not have to press any other key or number after PIN entry. After the successful recharge, you will be informed of your new account balance and validity period.
  • Alternately, customer can recharge by dialing *411* thirteen digit pins# and press call key

Things to be remembered while recharging your account

  1. Always remember to use your own mobile phone (with your own Pre-Paid SIM card) for Recharge.

  2. Do not pause for more than 2 seconds (approximately) while entering the digits of PIN number. If paused longer, system will stop taking your entry and consider the PIN number as invalid.

  3. Your recharge card can be used only once to recharge an account. If you try to enter the PIN numbers of the used recharge card or incorrect PIN numbers, your attempts will be failed and account will not be updated. If such attempts are made carelessly, your account (mobile number) will be BLACKLISTED. After that, you will not be able to make or receive any call. Thus, you should be careful while entering the PIN of recharge card. Listen carefully to the instructions given while recharging.

  4. Pre-paid account can accumulate maximum balance of Rs. 5000 only. Further recharge of the account is not allowed till the account balance less than or equal to the face value of the recharge card is used up i.e. If the face value is Rs 500, then until the balance becomes less than or equal to Rs 4500, you can not recharge. Also the maximum Active day that a pre-paid account can accumulate is 730 days. For instance, if an account with Active days 720 and rechargeable balance (e.g. Rs.3500) recharge by using recharge card with face value Rs.500, the amount equals to face value of the card will be added(i.e. new balance will be Rs.4000) but only 10 days will be added to Active days of 720 instead of 6 months.

PIN1/PUK1 and PIN2/PUK2 numbers:

These are special numbers provided to you with your welcome package at the time of purchase of new SIM card. Please keep them safe for use when required.

If you make wrong entry of PIN 3 times, your SIM will be locked and will ask you for PUK number. Take great care while entering PUK because, if PUK entry is wrong for 10 times, the SIM card will be damaged permanently.

Security Code:

This code is the Identification of Pre-Paid mobile subscriber. This is also provided with your welcome package at the time of purchase of new SIM card. If your mobile is lost, we advise you to Block your account so that others can not misuse it. For that, dial 1498 and ask to block your Pre-paid account by giving your security code. In case, you find your mobile again, you can un-Block your account by giving the same security code.

Since the Welcome Letter given at the time of purchase of new SIM card contains the above vital information like PIN, PUK and security code, we advise you to keep it safely.

Nepal Telecom starts selling Namaste GSM and Sky CDMA sim cards from private counters, Nepal Sim Cards battle Starts...

Neapl Telecom, Government won company starts selling Sim Cards form outsourced private companies from 8th May. This is a move to ensure easy availability of mobile connections to prospective customers. In another option outsourced private firms will also sell mobile handsets bundled with the SIM.

Ncell- the private telco has been selling GSM SIM in such an easy way from many years, which is the major reason behind the huge no.of Ncell sim card distribution, Now Nepal Telecom is also in the battle field to start the sensation.



Previously NT used to distribute SIM cards only from their office during office hours which was not that convenient for the prospective customers. Now with this move, NT Sim cards will be available from private counters in different areas of Kathmandu, which is a major step in removing the hassles for a customer and having broad availability of the SIM in holidays and odd hours.  In the first step, some recharge card dealers are asked to do the SIM distribution with their own counters in different parts of the city, which will be also be provided later to MPOS dealers and handset bundling firms. Such distribution will also be done in other parts of the country after Kathmandu.

This is the first time the state company is all set to seek support of private companies to sell mobile lines. Two months ago, NT outsourced two firms to sell its WiMax broadband internet service. It has also outsourced its enquiry service and mobile tower maintenance, but in a small scale.

4G Sim Card in Nepal still a dream vs reality

Nepal Telecom (NT) is launching the 4G WiMAX IEEE 802.16e service first time in Nepal. Nepal Telecom proudly offers WiMAX broadband internet service. WiMAX service is available throughout the country. This wimax is only for internet surfing through its own cpe.

Currently Both national wide telecom Nepal telecom and Ncell are in the race but still not sure which will top the race.

Currently both telecom offers 3G sim card in Nepal but 4G Network and 4G compatible sim card is still a dream away.

3G Service (WCDMA Service)

To fulfill the ever growing demands and to browse and access the web pages like video based programs (Live TV browsing) NT installed WCDMA based 3G system which offers 384 kbps of downloading and 64kbps of uploading data speed.

Nepal Telecom (NT), Nepal’s largest telecommunication provider, is planning to launch fourth generation (4G) technology mobile service within a year. The company has begun negotiations with the concerned companies to upgrade its technology for launching 4G technologies.
Besides, the state-owned telecom giant also plans to add 10 million mobile lines across the country.
Talking to The Rising Nepal, Gunakeshari Pradhan, Joint Spokesperson at the NT, said that the preparations to upgrade the existing mobile service into 4G technology were underway.
She informed that the company has begun negotiations with the two Chinese companies for upgrading its technologies.
She, however, said that the finalisation of the deal was yet to be completed.
"The NT has been working to distribute 100,000 4G SIMs to its customers at the beginning. We are working to add 40BTS towers for upgrading the technology," she said adding, "For this, the company has been dealing with ZTE and Huawei Technologies, two Chinese companies to expand its services in the country."
According to NT, 4G service will have high speed data services of 32 mbps to 45 mbps. In telecommunications, 4G is the fourth generation of cellular mobile communications standards.
It is a successor of the third generation (3G) standards. A 4G system provides mobile ultra-broadband Internet access, for example to laptops with USB wireless modems, to smartphones, and to other mobile devices. Conceivable applications include amended mobile web access, IP telephony, gaming services, high-definition mobile TV, video conferencing and 3D television.
NT plans to completely re-design the network in the Kathmandu Valley to address problems related to its service quality.
Similarly, networks will be built in major cities like Biratnagar, Birgunj, Pokhara and Nepalgunj for 4G services with a priority on data and voice services. The project is expected to be completed by 2015.
Likewise, the NT has planned to increase its subscribers to 10 million. Similarly, the company has planned to improve the services of its 3G and 2.5G technologies.
Currently, 3G service is available in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Telecom has about 50 thousands 3G subscribers.
NT also plans to upgrade its CDMA network to an internet protocol (IP) CDMA network, so as to improve the quality of voice and data services. Telecom is also planning to distribute 2 million IP CDMA technology to its news subscribers within six months, she informed.

Nepal Telecom will use 4G equipment from Airspan Networks for the deployment of a network connecting 58 municipalities and 3,915 villages spread across Nepal.
Airspan said the network will run in the 2.3-2.4 gigahertz band, and include its Air4G high-power macro base station. The deployment process is expected to conclude within 360 days of contract signing.
Amar Nath Singh, managing director of Nepal Telecom, said: “After careful evaluation of several competing technologies, we found Airspan to offer the most comprehensive and cost-effective solution that would enable us to meet the deployment schedule requirements and deliver the promised capacity and throughput.”
Nepal Telecom has 520,000 fixed lines, 1.1 million GSM users and 48,000 CDMA users. The new network will facilitate high-speed data services to numerous households and businesses, said Airspan



Now this is the another telecom in the race to offer 4G compatible sim card in Nepal but Still a long way  
 
  TeliaSonera -- the parent company of Ncell -- has unveiled a plan of upgrading its network in Nepal with 4G technology provided that it recieves license and spectrum from the government. Officials of TeliaSonera unveiled the plan during the Mobile World Congress that kick-started here on Monday.

The 4G technology provides faster data speed, high-quality video conferencing and faster internet access.

“I can’t exactly say the date. But if we get permission and spectrum in Nepal, we are positive to operate the service,” said Håkan Dahlström, head of TeliaSonera’s Mobility Services. 

Addressing a press meet in Barcelona on Tuesday, he said the 4G technology was the best medium for high speed internet.

Ncell - the first private mobile operator in Nepal - had launched 3G service at the highest altitude in the world in October last year. Overwhelmed with the response that it received after the launch of 3G service in the Everest region, the company is expecting positive response with the launch of 4G service in Nepal.



After Ncell upgrades its network with 4G technology, its customers can enjoy live telecast without any interruption. The technology is mainly popular for video conferencing and high speed internet.

TeliaSonera has unveiled its plan of launching 4G service in most of the European countries by 2011. Officials said that in the case of Nepal, the service will be made available by 2012.

A few months ago, Ncell had approached Nepal Telecom Authority - the telecom service regulator - for spectrum and license for 4G operation. NTA has yet to respond to Ncell’s request. The delay in NTA proceedings means Nepalis will need to wait some more time to enjoy 4G service.

TeliaSonera has already upgraded its network with 4G technology in Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Norway and Sweden. Internet service through 4G technology offers bandwidth of 10 to 100 MB per second. European countries using this technology are providing 30 GB internet at 60 euros.

Ncell plans to cover 90 percent of the total population by the end of this year and invest $100 million this year. It presently covers 85 percent of total population. The company is also planning to introduce value added services in new sectors this year.

Along with Nepal, TeliaSonera operates mobile service in Cambodia, Norway, Denmark, Russia, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Tazakhstan and others.
