Ncell 971 number SIM available
According to Ncell, the new number range 971 SIM card is now available across Nepal. Chances are if you go and buy a new Ncell SIM card, you will get a number starting this very first three digits. Previously, Ncell issued 970 range SIM cards.
Ncell says it obtained permission from Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA) to start the new number range on Jestha 14, 2082. Now, the number pattern will follow 971-xxxxxxx. In Nepal telecom companies need to obtain permission from NTA to start a new mobile number range. In that regard, Ncell had requested NTA for the new number range which was also approved by the authority after a regular process.
The new number range is now available for all GSM users including regular users, corporate and organizations.
But with the new number range, there might come some issues with receiving OTPs. Initially, there were problems of Ncell ’97’ numbers not receiving OTPs. Ncell, if this issue comes again, will work on solving them with service providers. But as the new number range also starts with 97 in the beginning, you may never face this problem at all.
