Useful short codes of mobile network operators [Namaste, Ncell, & Smart Cell] in Nepal

Short codes are used to dial or send a message for subscribing offers, packages and additional functionalities/features of mobile network operators. There are several USSD codes, SMS codes and calling numbers.

USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) codes are sometimes known as “quick codes” or “feature codes” — they send text between a mobile phone and an application program in-network. Every operator/carrier will have an individual list of mobile USSD codes.

For example: How to check Namaste balance? Use USSD code(s) *400# to check your prepaid and postpaid account balance.

In this post, I have tried to collect all of the essential numbers/codes for the mobile Telecom services subscription in Nepal.
