NTC / NCELL — prepaid reality check

८०% चेतावनीपछि
बाँकी कति?

Data pack सकियो कि सकिएन थाहा छैन। Main balance बाट पैसा काटिन्छ। ब्यालेन्स रु ०.०३ मा झर्छ—र call/recharge केही हुँदैन।

Satirical illustration about prepaid balance deduction
What's actually happening

The scam nobody talks about.

  • !

    80% warning comes

    तर remaining data कति बाँकी छ — कहिँ देखिँदैन

  • !

    Data silently expires

    कुनै "pack सकियो" message आउँदैन

  • !

    Main balance काटिन्छ

    Rs 50 balance → Rs 0.03 — बिना warning

  • !

    You're stranded

    Call, SMS, recharge — केही पनि हुँदैन

Messages you get. Data you don't.

Sound familiar?

Provider SMS
10:00 AMDear customer, your 1.25 GB data pack has been activated on 98670*****
6:42 PMDear customer, you've consumed 80% of your data pack.
11:03 PMYou've already spent Rs. 10 from your balance for data usage.
Next day, 7:15 AMDear Customer, your 1.25 GB Data Pack is expired.

That 80% warning never says what's left. You never consented to the deduction.

Real story

When the electricity goes out.

बेलुका करिब ७:३० बजे बत्ती गएको थियो। Wi‑Fi चल्ने कुरै भएन, त्यसैले mobile data नै चलाएँ—दिनभरि बाँकी भएको pack छ भनेर ढुक्क थिएँ।

तर network बार देखिए पनि internet खुलेन: Messenger नखुल्ने, search अड्किने, payment app “no connection” भनेर बस्ने। कुनै warning आएन—80% होस् या “pack सकियो” SMS—केही छैन।

केहीबेरपछि emergency call गर्न खोज्दा main balance कटिसकेको रहेछ। Balance रु ०.०३ मात्र बाँकी। Call/SMS/recharge केही पनि भएन—बत्ती गएको बेला data पनि नचल्ने, अनि warning बिना balance पनि काटिने।

Literally stranded.
