International Mobile Telecommunication: Connecting to Nepal

This document outlines the procedures and essential information for establishing mobile voice communication with a subscriber in Nepal from outside the country. Understanding the necessary prefixes and country codes is crucial for successfully completing the call.

Essential Components for International Mobile Calls

  • Exit Code: The exit code, also known as an international access code or international direct dialing (IDD) code, allows a caller to dial out of their current country. This code varies depending on the country from which the call is being placed.
  • Country Code: A country code is a numerical prefix assigned to each country, used in international telephone dialing. It is essential to dial the correct country code to route the call to the correct destination.
  • Mobile Code: Within the destination country, a mobile code designates that the dialed number connects to a mobile network operator.
  • Subscriber Number: This is the unique number assigned to the individual mobile subscriber within the destination country.

Nepal's Telecommunication Identifiers

  • Country Code: +977
  • Mobile Codes: Typically begin with '9'. Specific prefixes vary depending on the mobile network operator (e.g., NTC, Ncell). Check with the operator for exact sequences.

Dialing Procedure Overview

  1. Dial the exit code of the country you are calling from.
  2. Dial the country code for Nepal (+977).
  3. Dial the mobile code. This is typically '9' followed by other digits depending on the mobile operator of the recipient.
  4. Dial the remaining digits of the Nepalese mobile subscriber's number.

Example of a Complete International Mobile Number

Assuming an exit code of '00' and a mobile number '98XXXXXXXX' in Nepal, the complete number would be: 00-977-98-XXXXXXXX.

Considerations for Call Costs and Network Compatibility

  • Call Costs: International calling rates can vary significantly depending on your service provider and calling plan. Check with your provider for current rates.
  • Network Compatibility: Ensure that your mobile network supports international calls to Nepal.
  • Mobile Apps: Consider using Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications, which may offer lower calling rates.
