Nepal Telecom VoLTE Service: How to Activate and Get Free Calls in 2024

Nepal Telecom (NTC) launched VoLTE services in Nepal on May 17, 2021, for World Telecommunication and Information Society Day. VoLTE enhances call quality and reduces connection time for a better user experience.

NTC is offering 100 minutes of free VoLTE voice calls to all NTC SIM users to celebrate the launch of its free service. Let’s explore the key features and activation process of VoLTE before claiming this offer.

What is VoLTE?

VoLTE (Voice Over LTE) is an IP-based technology that allows simultaneous voice and data transmission over a 4G network, enabling users to make calls and access the internet without interruptions. Dual SIM users with dual VoLTE support can receive calls on one SIM while using the other.

Benefits of VoLTE include:

• HD Voice Calls: Improved sound quality with less background noise.
• Faster Call Setup: Faster connections than traditional networks.
• Simultaneous Data Usage: Browse the internet or use apps while on a call.
• Natural Conversations: Clarity makes conversations feel more realistic.

Both parties need VoLTE devices for high-quality calls.
