If you have a 3G phone and are in place where ntc is providing its 3G service, now there is no need to buy a separate 3G sim. You can simply convert 2G Sim to 3G Sim following few steps :
1. Type 3g in text message .
2. Send it to 1400
3. Then you will receive message like this ‘Thank you for subscribing 3G service.You will be connected by 5 PM next working day:Nepal Telecom ‘
4. 3G service will be activated in 2G sim within 2 days.

sir, how can i change my 3g to 2g. 3g didnot work properly
Don’t have any idea regarding that. I think go have to visit Ntc office for that.
You can just go to settings in the mobile phone, then go to connectivity, then go to Network, then change the network mode to “GSM” or “DUAL MODE” so that you can change it to 2g metwork..:P
thanks for this tweak
don’t
no need to change 3G to 2G only go to network setting and change dual mode to GSM only. You will get 2G network.
hlw there , i sent the message but does it charge 100 rs for 3g activation in pre paid ?cause i didnt get 3g activated in my s.e. T715.
they have not mentioned regarding charge. it may be a free subscription.
i sent two msges still it couldnt be activated though i got reply from ntc ‘thanks for . . . . . by 5pm next working day ‘ but never succed in receiving 3g though my area certainly has a coverage ,perhaps this pre-paid 3g service has been abondoned ?sad :/
may be. the above method is what i got from their office, i think either it may take time to become this method fully functional or they will bring some other way.
no need 2 pay any charge?
this subscription is free but this method is not working at the moment.
Works for gprs activation but does not seem to activate 3G even though you get the message saying by “5pm next working day.”
This method does not work! Working method :
You should go to ntc office(i went to pulchowk ntc ofice) ; u can get a form there(3G update form),fill the form mentioning name of sim owner and prepaid mobile number give it to the prepaid sim counter and pay Rs.100, you’ll get invoice receipt then you will have 3g connectivity by the next day. Hope it helps !
thanks for this information
I filled the 3g form and was told that it would get activated within 2 days, bits it’s already 3 days and still no sign of 3g!
@ Sabin Bajracharya :
There are specific areas for using 3G service. You need to be in 3G coverage area to use fast 3G internet service. Visit nepal telecom’s official website for more info about 3G coverage areas within kathmandu and others parts of Nepal.
What If I don;t know my sim owner’s name?
in such case, better to buy a new sim
To buy a new sim, you have to pay Rs. 300.

2g sim ma 3g activate garna ntc office ma jaada k k documents haru chahincha???
kindly reply me..
no documents are required. You have to fill the form and Rs 100 subscription charge.
Dai ,k ncell connect ma ntc ko sim halera net chal6 .maile settings change ta milaya. connect pani bhayo.tara 0.00 kbps dekhaun6.browse garna mildaina
I think ncell connect may be locked so it may not work other network. First the ncell connect should be unlocked and it can work with ntc.
