Important points for balance transfer in Ntc
To transfer balance for your friends/family mobile number, you need to take care of following important points.
- As you need security code for the balance transfer in Ntc, do not share the code with anyone. Do keep it secure and protected.
- There is no service charge for the balance transfer with Ntc’s SIM Card.
- Always confirm the recipient mobile number before you transfer the balance. The amount once transferred may not be able to get back if the mobile number is mistaken.
- You can also transfer balance without using security code. Find the process below.
Then you can also find the procedure (with steps) to get the security code by dialing a code instead of visiting Ntc office. But it does not mean you need to always have security code for this transfer, as you can also send the balance without using it.
Nepal Telecom is a pioneering telecom operator of Nepal with around 60% market share. There are multiple features in Nepal Telecom that are provided to create a value for the users, and this is one of them. Similarly, the best part of the service is that it is completely free of charge. And it is available for all of their GSM prepaid users.
Remember your mobile validity period will not increase with the transfer. If you have less balance and also increase validity, now you can recharge your balance online. Read Ntc recharge process and the recharge card pin recovery>>
How to transfer balance in Ntc?
To transfer balance in Ntc, there are several methods (like USSD, Mobile App, Self-care) which you can find step by step below.
Using the USSD code, you need to follow these steps to transfer the balance.
- First, you need to have a security code which you might have saved it somewhere. If not, you need to send a message scode to 1415 to get the security code.
- After having the security code, you need to dial USSD code *422*security Code*Phone No*Rs# where Phone no means the receiving mobile number and Rs denotes the amount of money to be sent in rupees.
- The above method works for GSM prepaid numbers whereas you can use the same process to send the balance to CDMA numbers (Sky numbers).
- You can also send the balance from your Nepal Telecom prepaid number to Nepal Telecom Postpaid using the same process as above.
Additionally, you can also use the common USSD code with format: *133*securitycode*PhoneNo*Rs#.

Earlier, I preferred this USSD method to transfer the balance in my Ntc SIM as I remembered the code and process, but it is not the case for newbies. So, I recommend checking the second method which is via the NT Mobile app, as described below.

To get the security code of your Ntc number, via message, you need to follow the steps:
