Nepal eSIM questions

Plans for Nepal start at $4.90 for 1 GB (30 days). The most popular option is 5 GB for $9.90. All prices include tax and there is no activation fee.
Which networks does the Nepal eSIM connect to?
Your eSIM roams on Ncell and Nepal Telecom — the phone picks the strongest signal automatically. Coverage is LTE/4G across the country.
Do I need to install a new eSIM for Nepal if I already have eSIM BFF?
No. If you already installed eSIM BFF on a previous trip, just buy a Nepal package in your dashboard. It attaches to the eSIM you already have and works as soon as you land.
Does the Nepal eSIM include a phone number?
It is a data-only eSIM. Your normal number keeps working for calls and SMS through your home SIM, and apps like WhatsApp, FaceTime and Telegram work over the eSIM data. This keeps prices low and setup simple.
Can I use hotspot with the Nepal eSIM?
Yes. Tethering is included on every plan, so you can share your Nepal data with a laptop or a travel partner.
When should I buy my Nepal eSIM?
Buy it before you fly and install it on Wi-Fi at home. The 30-day validity only starts when your phone first connects to a network in Nepal, so buying early costs nothing.
