Ncell


Ncell Private Limited is a mobile service provider from Nepal. It was founded under the name "Mero Mobile" in 2004. Four years later it was re-branded as "Ncell" by its parent company Telia Company. On 12 April 2016, Ncell became a part of Axiata Group Berhad when the group bought 100% of the shares of Reynhold Holdings, which then held 80% of Ncell shares.

On 1 June 2018, Ncell launched its 4G/LTE service in Kathmandu Valley. A month later, the company launched 4G/LTE service in Pokhara and Damauli. As of June 2019, Ncell had expanded 4G/LTE services to all seven Nepali provinces. In a bid to implement a next-generation billing system, Ncell adopted Alibaba's Apsara Cloud for its digital strategy.
In 2010, when Ncell was still owned by TeliaSonera, its highest 3G base station was built near one of the Everest Base Camps at an altitude of 5,200 meters.
Ncell provides a self-service app which is relied upon by a majority of users. By installing the Ncell app, customers can recharge their account, check balance information, and purchase data/voice packs. The app can be also used to send 10 free SMS messages daily; however data charges may apply if the app is used outside of Nepal.
