SIM cards are meant to be personal assets, but in Nepal, we often treat them as interchangeable commodities. Many people using a SIM card for years may not even know under whose name it is registered. This is a concerning issue, and it’s time to address it. Here’s how you can check the owner’s name of an NTC number.

How to Check NTC SIM Ownership?

Before diving into the process of checking the ownership of an NTC SIM card, let’s first discuss an ongoing issue:

The Trend of Passing SIM Cards

Although less common now, passing SIM cards among individuals is still a reality in Nepal. Parents hand them to children, siblings share them, and friends exchange them. In some cases, people even use SIM cards they find on the street—believe it or not!

Why Do People Do This?

There are two main reasons for this trend:

1.Avoiding Hassle:

Acquiring a new SIM card involves paperwork, filling out forms, and providing documents—too much trouble for some. So, they resort to using someone else’s SIM.

2.Saving Money:

While SIM cards are affordable now, this wasn’t always the case. In the early days, they cost several hundred or even over a thousand rupees. Back then, gifting or sharing a SIM card was common. People didn’t care about the registered owner’s name if it meant saving money.

Why You Shouldn’t Do This

It’s clear why you shouldn’t use someone else’s SIM card. Here’s why:

•Identity Misuse:

If the SIM card is registered in someone else’s name, it’s as though you’re impersonating them.

•Legal Risks:

Using a SIM card not registered under your name could land you in trouble, especially if it was previously used for illegal activities. For instance, a SIM card found on the street might belong to someone involved in criminal activities.

Bottom line: Always use a SIM card registered in your own name and check the ownership status if unsure.

How to Check NTC Number Owner’s Name

There are two simple ways to check the ownership of an NTC number:

1. Using USSD Code

USSD codes are special number combinations like *number# that you use to perform various actions (e.g., checking balance or buying data). Here’s how to check the owner’s name of an NTC number using a USSD code:

1.Open the dialer on your phone.

2.Enter *922#.

3.Press call, and you’ll see the registered owner’s information.

2. Using the Nepal Telecom App

Another convenient way to check the NTC number owner’s name is through the Nepal Telecom app. Apps simplify processes, offering multiple functionalities in one place without needing to memorize codes. Follow these steps:

1.Download and open the Nepal Telecom app.

2.Log in to your account (or register if it’s your first time).

3.The name of the SIM owner will be displayed in the top-left corner of the app dashboard.

Other NTC Short Codes

• *21*Forwarding Number#: Activates call forwarding
• ##21#: Deactivates call forwarding
• *43#: Activates call waiting

• *1442#: Subscribes to add-on packages

• *400#: Checks your balance

• *9#: Checks your mobile number

How to Check the NTC Number Owner’s Name: Conclusion

These are the two ways to check the NTC number owner’s name. If the SIM card is registered under your name, great! If not, you should consider transferring the ownership to yourself. Ensuring proper ownership of your SIM card helps avoid potential legal or personal complications.
