Top up Ncell from abroad by entering the family member's 10 digit Ncell number, choosing a recharge amount or plan, and paying by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The operator is detected from the number, so the credit goes straight to the phone. Ncell is one of 2 live operators in Nepal we support, alongside Nepal Telecom, and top ups start from $2.53.
You do not need an account with Ncell, a local bank card, or a trip to a shop in Nepal. The person receiving the top up does not need to do anything either. The balance or plan is applied to the Ncell line you name.
The whole process usually takes a few minutes, and the recipient gets the credit on the Ncell line without needing to confirm anything.
Ncell offers plain recharge amounts and bundle plans. Plain recharges of NPR 144, NPR 200, NPR 220 and NPR 535 add that amount as balance with no fixed validity shown. Bundle plans include 7GB All Time Data for NPR 299, 10GB plus unlimited calls for NPR 399, a 699 Combo and unlimited data for 84 days for NPR 2499.
The data bundles run for fixed periods. The 7GB All Time Data plan lasts 28 days, the 10GB plus unlimited calls plan lasts 28 days, the 699 Combo lasts 28 days, and the unlimited data plan lasts 84 days. These are useful when you want the phone to have working data and calls for a set stretch rather than a balance that is spent at once.
Plain recharge amounts suit people who prefer to buy what they need themselves, or who use the line mainly for calls. All the plans listed here are shown without operator tax added on top, so the amount shown is what lands on the phone. If a plan were taxed, the figure shown would be the amount left after the operator's tax, but none of the Ncell options here are taxed.
Slashtel sends the top up straight to the number you enter, so there is no voucher code to pass on and nothing for the recipient to redeem.
Ncell numbers in Nepal have 10 digits, and the example national format is 984-1234567. In international form the same number is +977 984 1234567, where 977 is Nepal's dialling code. You can type the number with or without the country code, but the digits must match the Ncell line exactly.
The leading digit matters. Ncell numbers in our example start 984, and the operator is detected from the number, so a mistyped digit can send the top up to a different line or fail the check. Read the number back from your contact list rather than from memory if you can.
Spaces and hyphens are fine. Keep the 10 digits intact and do not drop the leading zero when you type the national form. If you paste the international form, keep the 977 country code with the 10 digit number after it.
Most failures come from a number that does not match a live Ncell line, a payment that the card issuer declined, or a connection problem at the moment you pressed pay. Check the number digit by digit first, then try the payment again with a different card or wallet if the first attempt was declined.
If the number looks right and the payment went through but the balance has not appeared, wait a little before trying again. Sending a second top up while the first is still processing can leave the line with two recharges. Check with the recipient that the credit has not already landed.
Keep the confirmation you see after sending, as it records the number and the amount for your own reference.
Pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay on the checkout page. The payment details are handled by the payment provider, and the top up goes to the Ncell number you entered, with the operator detected from that number. You do not share any Ncell account password or PIN to send a recharge.
Use a card or wallet in your own name and check the amount and the number on the confirmation screen before you approve the payment. There is no need to send money to an individual or to share card details over a message.
For families in the UK sending to relatives in Nepal, a top up from $2.53 keeps the Ncell line working without a bank transfer or a trip to a shop. Nepal Telecom numbers are also covered if you need to top up a second line in the same household.
