IMPORTANT RULES
Nepal has specific number formatting rules. Follow these guidelines to ensure your call connects.
When dialing from abroad, do not use the leading zero that appears in Nepal's domestic dialing format. Example: domestic Kathmandu is 01, but international format is +977 1.
Nepal mobile numbers are 10 digits total, including the country code. After +977, you'll dial 9 followed by 8 more digits (e.g., +977 9851234567). Do not include leading zeros in the mobile number.
Landline numbers in Nepal vary by region. Most cities have 7–8 digit local numbers after the area code. Always verify the full number before dialing.
Sayfone calls route through your internet connection. Ensure you have stable internet before dialing. Calls use standard calling protocols—no app download required.
CALLING TIPS
Nepal is 5.75 hours behind South Korea (no daylight-saving offset). Plan your calls to reach people during local business and personal hours.
South Korea observes no daylight saving time, and Nepal does not observe daylight saving time, so this offset remains constant year-round.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If your call to Nepal doesn't connect, try these quick fixes. Most issues resolve with correct number formatting or connection checks.
Double-check that you've included the country code (+977), area code, and full local number. Leading zeros should be dropped from area codes when dialing internationally.
Sayfone calls require a stable internet connection. If your call drops or fails to connect, restart your internet connection and try again.
Remember that Nepal is 5.75 hours behind South Korea. If you're reaching voicemail outside business hours, check the time in Nepal and call back later.
Some special numbers (emergency services, government lines) may not connect via internet calling. For emergencies, use your mobile network directly.
