This time, Nepal Telecom has done its utmost to fulfill the needs of its valued customers by providing such state-of-the-art technology which lets the user connect at any time, from any Telephone set to anywhere in the world. These services include:

Pre-paid Calling Card (PCC) Service
The PCC service launched commercially as "EasyCall" - allows service user to make phone calls from any DTMF telephone set and the call is charged to a card number provided by the user. When service user uses this service, he should enter access code, card number and corresponding Personal Identification Number (PIN).

Advance Free Phone- (AFS) Service
One of the outstanding features of AFS service is reverse charging, that is, the called party pays for the call, while the calling party is free of charge. So, the service is also known as the free phone service. Another key feature of the AFS service is that a service subscriber can have multiple terminal numbers with a single AFS number. The AFS service logic, according to the routing rules set by the service subscriber, translates the AFS number to the actual destination number, to which the system connects calls. Thus, by dialing the unique AFS number, all users can be connected to different terminal numbers based on the call time, areas, and selections of the calling party. The AFS service can be widely used in various commercial and social institutions. This service is a good choice for commercial organizations and social communities aiming for good communication with their users or supporters.

Universal Access Number- (UAN) Service
In the UAN service, a service subscriber can have different telephone lines in different places and these lines can be accessed via a universal telephone number. The system will translate the UAN number to a specified corresponding Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) number according to the area of the caller and the calling time and then connect the call accordingly. If an enterprise has subscribed the UAN service, then its users in different places will be able to contact the branch office of the enterprise or the company group nearest to him by simply dialing the universal number. For subscribers whose working places are different in different periods of time, they can easily specify different routes for the incoming calls in different periods of time, which will greatly facilitate the timely solution to their users’ problems.

PSTN Credit Limit (PCL) Service
PSTN Credit Limit service (PCL) evolves from the traditional prepaid card service. In the traditional prepaid card service, the subscriber is required to input the card number when he uses the service. In order to leave out the trouble of inputting card number, the PCL service takes the telephone number as the subscriber service number. When a service subscriber originates a call on telephone, the system will deduct fee from the corresponding account according to the calling number instead of card number. After registering the PCL service and recharging the account through the operator or telephone flow, the subscriber can originate a call on the registered telephone.

Pre-paid Home Country Direct- (HCD) Service
The Prepaid Home Country Direct Service (HCD) allows the service user to make phone calls from any DTMF telephone set in foreign countries, with which home country has direct service agreements, to home country using the network of the home country.. When a user initiates a call with an HCD prepaid card, the system will first check the card number status, balance and validity period of the card and then decide whether to answer or reject the call accordingly. Relevant charges for the call will be made to the card on a real time basis. To use the service, the user has to first dial the access code, and then enter the card number and PIN according to the system voice prompt.
