NTC’s Recurring Postpaid Packages
Streamline Your Mobile Plan: Everything You Need to Know About NTC’s Recurring Postpaid Packages
If you are a Nepal Telecom (NTC) postpaid user, you are likely familiar with the hassle of manually subscribing to your favorite data and voice bundles every month. Forgetting to renew can leave you stranded mid-conversation or hit you with expensive pay-as-you-go rates.
To solve this friction, Nepal Telecom offers a seamless Recurring Postpaid Package feature. This service automates your monthly mobile billing, ensuring your talk time, SMS, and data resources reset seamlessly without manual intervention. Here is a complete guide on how NTC’s Recurring Offer works, how it bills you, and how to activate it.
What is the NTC Recurring Postpaid Offer?
The Recurring Offer is an automated auto-renewal feature designed exclusively for Individual GSM Postpaid users. Instead of dialing a USSD code every month to manually purchase a bundle, NTC’s system automatically renews your selected Sajilo Unlimited Offer (ranging from Rs. 699 to Rs. 1,999) on the 15th day of every English calendar month.
How Does Billing Work? (The Pro-Rata System)
One of the smartest elements of this service is Pro-rata Billing. If you subscribe to a recurring package in the middle of an English month, you are not charged the full price for partial usage:
- Mid-Month Activation: The system calculates the exact number of days remaining from your activation date until the next 15th of the English month. You are only charged for those specific days.
- Subsequent Months: From the 15th onward, the system will deduct the full monthly package fee for the entire upcoming month.
Example Scenario: If you activate a recurring package on the 25th of a month, you will only pay a fraction of the cost covering the 20 to 21 days remaining until the 15th of the next month. On the next 15th, the full monthly package fee is charged.
Key Rules and System Limitations
- One Active Offer at a Time: You can only have one active recurring offer per SIM. If you decide to change your package (e.g., upgrading from Rs. 699 to Rs. 799), the new package will go into a Pending status and will only activate on the upcoming 15th. Pending packages cannot be canceled or modified midway.
- Complementary Add-ons: Because the Sajilo Unlimited packages already come with massive or unlimited voice resources, you won’t need extra voice packs. However, you can still manually purchase normal data or SMS add-on packs if you run out of resources mid-month.
CRITICAL WARNING: Maintain Your Credit Limit
On the 15th of the English month, NTC’s automated billing system runs a check. If your available credit limit is lower than the price of your package, the auto-renewal will fail. If it fails, your phone will immediately go into Bar Mode (One-way service: incoming calls/SMS only, no outgoing calls or internet). You cannot purchase alternative packs while barred; you must clear your dues first.
Step-by-Step: Managing Your Subscription
NTC has made managing this feature simple through standard USSD shortcodes. Refer to the quick lookup table below:
| Action Required | USSD Code / Action | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Subscribe to Recurring Pack | *1415*2*4# | Select your Sajilo Unlimited package |
| Check Remaining Resources | *1415*55# | Or call 1498 directly |
| Deactivate / Cancel Auto-Renew | *1415*2*4# | Switch back to the GSM Postpaid Offer 300 (Normal) |
For power users who rely heavily on uninterrupted data and voice connectivity, NTC’s Recurring Postpaid Package removes the monthly friction of account management. Just ensure your monthly top-ups keep your credit limit healthy before the 15th, and you can let the automation handle the rest.
