Nepal Telecom has launched 4G around a month ago on a Press conference. It was launched particularly targeting two major cities i.e Kathmandu and Pokhara and only limited customers were able to take the advantage of that, to further encourage the customers to use 4G also did provide free subscription and free data pack of 1GB for 4 days.
But, Due to the incompatible Subscribers Identification Module (SIM) many users were unable to take that advantage and were limited only with 2G or 3G, the main problem was greatest number of users didn’t have compatible SIMs. And it was only available for PostPaid users. Luckily, from last Saturday 4G is accessible for Prepaid users.
