How to check sim card owner name in NTC and Ncell? How to Change it?

Do you use SIM cards and want to know the name which is registered on the SIM card that you own? According to NTA ( Nepal Telecommunication Authority), it is compulsory to register a SIM card under the user’s name. They are requesting all the service users to change the registered username as it is illegal to use SIM registered in other’s names. This means both the NTC and NCELL users should register SIM under your name.

If you want unique identification then the upcoming mobile application Nagarik Adhikar App, NTC forces everyone to look after the name of SIM Card registration. So, people have been searching for ways to find out if the current SIM that they are using is under their own name, without going to the telco’s customer center.
