Calling Nepal — Things to Know
- Viber is extremely popular in Nepal — it's the dominant messaging and calling app, far more than WhatsApp. Many Nepali families use Viber for daily communication. However, Viber app-to-app calls require both sides to have good internet.
- Nepal Telecom (NTC) and Ncell are the two main carriers. NTC is government-owned and covers rural areas better. Ncell (now Axiata) is stronger in urban areas.
- Internet connectivity in rural Nepal can be unreliable, especially in mountainous regions. Phone calls through BubblyPhone use telephone networks, which reach areas where internet-based calls drop.
- Nepal's unique 45-minute time zone offset (UTC+5:45) is the only one of its kind in the world. It's 15 minutes ahead of India. This catches people off guard when scheduling calls.
- Major festivals like Dashain (September/October) and Tihar (October/November) are peak calling times. Expect busy lines, especially to rural areas.
- Nepal does not observe daylight saving time, so the time difference from the US changes when the US shifts clocks.
- BubblyPhone works from any device with internet access. No need for special calling cards or international plans.
