How to identify illegal international calls and inform Ntc?

Nepal Telecom (NTC) has requested users to report if they receive illegal international calls showing Nepali numbers. Suspecting the possibility of (Voice over Internet Protocol) VoIP-related calls, the company issued a notice to its subscribers via SMS and social media pages.

VoIP call bypass is an illegal activity in Nepal. The Supreme Court has deemed call bypass a serious offense and subject to punishment. However, the company suspects the frequency of such calls has increased again in recent days.

With a call bypass, the rogue caller fakes international calls as if they are coming from within the country itself. In a technical term, it involves diverting international calls from the authorized and official gateway of legitimate mobile network operators which frames international calls as local. This mostly involves the use of “VoIP” technology. As a result, the call rates become cheaper. This is the reason, many resort to such calls. However, doing this violates the prevalent law of Nepal. It also impacts the telecom companies’ revenue and the government. Plus, it poses various security threats to those who sign up for call bypass to connect with their family and friends. Also to tell, call quality in a call bypass call is subpar.

How to identify illegal international calls in Ntc?

If you get an international call to your home telephone or mobile and it shows the local Ntc number, then it is for sure an illegal call. The calls are routed or bypassed from the usual call routes using different methods like VoIP, which will not provide any sort of revenue or tax to the country. The quality of such calls is not even consistent.

Apart from Ntc or local numbers, you can even get calls from Private numbers or unrealistic numbers. Ntc recently informed the public of fake calls for the lottery win. Ntc has also found such calls to have used illegal routes. As it is necessary to prevent or control such illegal activities, Ntc has asked for people’s help in this regard.

Illegal calls remain a challenge for Nepali service providers

Receiving international calls has not always been problem-free for telecom companies in Nepal. On many occasions, Ntc has had to warn and request its users to be cautious of rogue calls. For e.g., the company earlier requested users to inform it of illegal calls. Additionally, there are cases of people being caught for operating call bypasses from Nepal.

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.
