- • Business PBX or office phones may require dialing 9 or another access code before 011.
- • VoIP services (e.g., Skype, Google Voice) may need verified payment and country settings before calling abroad.
Troubleshooting Calls to Nepal
- Your call cannot be completed as dialed. - Check that you dialed 011 + country code + number, removed any foreign trunk 0, and included all digits.
- International calling is not enabled on your line. - Contact your carrier or account admin to enable international calling or add an IDD package.
- The number you have dialed is not in service. - Verify the destination country code, area or mobile prefix, and local number; confirm the number is active.
- Call failed or dropped immediately on VoIP app. - Switch to a stable Wi Fi or stronger data connection, update the app, or try a standard carrier call.
