During this period, the company's 3G customer base reached 9.482 million. Overall, the company's mobile service users are 22.91 million while the remaining 2.187 million customers are 2G technology.

Nepal Telecom has been expanding the 4G/LTE service from Kathmandu and Pokhara for the first time in Nepal since January 2, 2017 and it has upgraded this service to the latest technology since October 2, 2019. In order to use the 4G service, customers must have a suitable mobile phone set as well as a SIM card to run (support) the service and must be in an area where the 4G network is available.

"As per the instructions received by dialing *444# from your mobile phone, you can find out whether you need to change the SIM or not by using 4G service and you can also activate the service by activating 4G," said the NT.

To get the most out of the 4G data service that the company is currently providing, it is necessary to use a mobile set running in both 1800 and 800 MHz bands.

"When buying a mobile set, we can know the MHz mobile set by looking at the technical details of the set. 

Similarly, when running a mobile, the network should always be given priority in the settings of the set," it said. In the field of mobile internet, LTE (Long Term Evolution) is a modern technology that allows the users to use high speed internet as well as high quality voice over service (VoLTE) through mobile.

As it provides high speed internet, high quality audio-visual content, games and other bandwidth-enabled content can be easily used.
