How to transfer the balance to NTC?

You can transfer or send a balance to NTC or Nepal Telecom in many ways.

1. Traditional Security Code Method

• Open your phone’s dialer.
• Dial *422*SecurityCode*RecipientNumber*Amount#.
• Example: *422*12345678*9841111100*100#.
• Note: *12345678* is your 8-digit security PIN. If you forgot it, text `SCODE` to 1415 to retrieve the code (or call 198 for assistance).

NTC’s website outlines this sequence explicitly, e.g., *422*Your PIN*Target NTC Phone Number*Amount#. This USSD method is like sending a quick coded message to the network, telling it exactly which number gets how much credit.

 2. Using the Nepal Telecom App

NTC official mobile app (available on the Android Play Store and the Apple App Store) has a built-in balance-transfer feature. To use it:

1. Download and open the Nepal Telecom app, then log in with your NTC (Namaste Prepaid) number.

2. Navigate to the Transfer Balance section (often under Services or My Account).

3. Enter the recipient’s 10-digit NTC mobile number and the amount you wish to send.

4. Press Confirm an OTP (one-time password) will be sent to your phone.

5. Enter the OTP to authorize and finalize the transfer.

In short, the app provides a user-friendly interface to send airtime, much like online banking. 

 Method 3: Through the Self-Care Website

NTC also offers a web portal for registered users:

• Go to [ntc.net.np](https://ntc.net.np) and register or log in to the Self-Care account (linked to your NTC number).
•  Once logged in, locate the Balance Transfer section.
•  Input the recipient’s mobile number and the desired amount of airtime to transfer.
•  Click Confirm to send.

This online route is essentially the same as the USSD method, but it runs through the NTC website. After confirming, the recipient will get the credited amount instantly.
