Nepal Telecom introduced the FNF Service in 2015 where NTC customers can create a group of 5 people and talk at a cheaper rate. Friends and Family (FNF) call service is a special facility available for customers in its network. It includes postpaid and prepaid users of all GSM, CDMA, and SkyPhone users. NTC has discontinued CDMA service and shifted users to GSM so this feature is now mostly for them. In this article, we discuss how to activate FNF Service in NTC, and how to remove or change FNF numbers in the system.
Friends and Family Call Service (FNF) is a special service from Nepal Telecom where prepaid and postpaid users of NTC GSM or CDMA service can add 5 people. Then users can make calls on those numbers at a very cheap rate of just 55 paisa/minute.
