Other Things about Ncell International Roaming

  • Roaming charges can change as per the exchange rate provided by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). It changes each month as per Gregorian (English) calendar. The change can also be applicable as roaming partners increase or decrease the rates.
  • Call Forwarding and Conference Call services won’t be available while roaming. So, Missed Call Notification/Voice Mail won’t work either.
  • Data charges are expensive, so it’s better to only use data when necessary. Also, background apps tend to consume more data. So, using a data saver and restricting such apps can help to consume less data.
  • Call number details for incoming calls might not be available as per the roaming partner’s system policy.
  • Any issues or complaints can be messaged to Ncell via sending a mail to complaintresolution@ncell.axiata.com
  • You can set Access Point (APN) as “web” if the data is not working.
  • Put phone in data roaming mode and if you find R sign on the mobile top bar, you are certain that the roaming service is working fine.

An experienced tech writer covering news mostly on telecommunication, internet, latest tech & trends, and Gadgets. Being a technophile, I am particularly fascinated by the evolution of mobile networks in Nepal from legacy networks (2G, 3G) to 4G (with VoLTE, VoWiFi, eSIM) and the prospects of the upcoming 5G, and equally enthralled by the development of internet from the dial-up connection to the 2 Gbps XGS-PON fiber broadband technology and their transformative impact in the country.
