Nepal Telecom (NTC) is the biggest and oldest telecom company in Nepal. It has been providing mobile phone service for a long time. They have gone through many changes and they have performed many upgrades. So as the demand of time, NTC now has mobile data packs. People now need more internet data than ever to stay connected. Instead of unlimited or pay as you go service, people want cheaper data packs. So here in this article, we have all the details of the available NTC Data pack with their price, volume, validity, and subscription process.
Smartphone users want a lot of data these days. It can be for communication, chatting, video calls, social media update, work, and entertainment. People do work on their phones, send files, emails, and perform internet-demanding tasks. Some people also take online classes, tutorials, and while some also play games. Therefore many mobile phone users demand data packs. Unlike the pay-per-usage (PAYG) system, data packs have limited data volume for a certain amount of time but they are much cheaper. So people prefer them a lot.
There are multiple schemes of data pack in NTC. They are unlimited, limited, time-bound, application-specific, and use-specific. For example, there is a social media pack, night data pack, unlimited data pack, and many more. So we will explain all the NTC internet package for mobile in brief.

Pay as you go (PAYG)
This is the default NTC data service for all users. In this system, all Nepal Telecom GSM service users can access internet or mobile data and pay later. It is applicable in GPRS, EDGE, 3G, and 4G networks. (PAYG) or pay as you go means, the money is deducted as the data is consumed. It means there is no limit in consumption and you are charged later or at the time of use. So if you just turn on your mobile data on your smartphone, the money is deducted just as the apps use data.
The price of PAYG or default mobile internet is Rs 1 per 1 MB. So it is a very simple calculation for short and small use. Suppose you just need to check your email a few times a day, then it is great. However, it becomes expensive when you have to use lots of mobile data. Moreover, in comparison to data packs, you get less MB for the money. Simple meaning, you can get more volume with packages.
A few years back, people needed to go to the NTC office and register their numbers to enable Edge and GPRS service. However these days, internet activation can be done just through USSD code and SMS.

NTC Data Pack Price, Volume, Validity, and Subscription
After the PAYG system, there is a data pack system where users can pay a certain amount of money and buy a certain amount of data for a limited amount of time. Most people usually have prepaid SIM cards, so this means you need to select an appropriate package then the money will be deducted from the balance. As soon as the balance is deducted, the package is activated and a set data volume is made available for a limited time.
The easiest way to purchase any NTC data pack, NTC voice pack, or SMS pack is using the Nepal Telecom App. Just download the app, signup and select the package you need, and activate it. You can also easily see the usage with the mobile application.
