## About Ncell

Ncell Pvt. Ltd., operating as Ncell, is a prominent mobile network operator in Nepal, a nation nestled in the heart of the Asia & Middle East region. As a key player in Nepal's telecommunications landscape, Ncell provides a range of services to connect people across the country. Understanding mobile network specifics involves recognizing its MCC (Mobile Country Code) and MNC (Mobile Network Code). In the case of Ncell, the MCC is 429, identifying Nepal, and the MNC is 02.

Ncell has been recognized for its network coverage across the diverse topography of Nepal, offering 4G/LTE services in many areas.
