NTC Starts A New ‘Information and Customer Care’ System

Nepal Telecom has brought a new customer care center system into operation. The new system was officially launched in a program held on 13th October in Kathmandu by the State Minister of Information and Communication. This new system will now provide all in one solution to all the complains and information related to NTC.

The services provided by this system can be used with the helpline numbers. With relevance to the network service, one need to dial to the following numbers to benefit from the new system.

• 197: NTC Information querying system number.
• 198: NTC Wireline (PSTN/landline) service customer care number
• 1498: NTC Wireless (GSM/CDMA) service customer care number.

However, it is planning to provide users with the benefit to inquiry about their problems via SMS, email and live/web chat services.

He also mentioned that with this new technology and its advancement, NTC shall satisfy needs its users and gradually increase its revenue.
