One rate for Nepal, $0.0443, from the first message to the millionth. Unicode segments for the local script, registered name or shared sender, handset receipts. Funded in crypto, without identity checks.
Nepal is the 19th cheapest of the 32 Asia destinations we serve. Its $0.0443 rate is 12% above the average for the region, and only 188 of our 228 destinations are priced lower.
Recipients in Nepal are on Nepal Telecom and Ncell. They deliver alphanumeric senders only after registration; until then your messages leave from a shared numeric sender, and support prepares the registration file with you. We keep one route for the destination and swap it when an operator's delivery rate drops, without changing your rate mid-campaign.
Encoding and length
Expect Unicode encoding for Nepal: 70 characters (67 per part when concatenated) per part rather than 160. Long confirmations are still fine, they simply use more segments, and the cost preview reflects it.
Timing and format
Marketing campaigns are held outside 09:00 to 21:00 local time by default. Transactional messages such as codes and receipts bypass the window. Numbers are dialled with +977, for example +977 327 864 740.
Delivery receipts
Nepal gives full handset receipts, which makes list hygiene easy: unknown numbers are flagged at the first send.
03Sender ID
How your sender appears in Nepal.
Registration comes first in this destination: an unregistered brand name is swapped for a shared numeric sender so the message still lands, and your registered name takes over once the operators approve it.
Messages written in the local script are Unicode, so a single segment holds 70 characters (67 per part when concatenated). Latin-only text stays in GSM-7 at 160 characters (153 per part when concatenated). The composer shows which encoding applies as you type. Up to 6 parts per message.
Do I get delivery confirmation?
Operators in Nepal return handset delivery receipts, so delivered means the phone received the message, usually within seconds.

$0.0443 per 160-character segment, the 19th cheapest of 32 Asia destinations. The lower price published by the crypto-paid gateways we track is $0.0950, so ours is about 53% lower. No setup or monthly fee, and the rate is locked for the life of a campaign.
Will my sender name show in Nepal?
