How to call Nepal from Singapore (+977) | StartACall | StartACall

The Nepal code and how to dial

Nepal uses the country code +977. Mobile numbers usually start with 98 or 97 and are 10 digits, so a mobile call is +977 followed by the number. Landlines have area codes that begin with a zero locally, such as 01 for Kathmandu, and that leading zero is dropped when you call from abroad.

So a Kathmandu landline written as 01 followed by the number becomes +977 1 and the number on an international call. With StartACall you simply type the plus sign and the full sequence, without the Singapore exit code 000 or 001 that a regular line needs.

Mobile and landline prefixes

The first digits after +977 tell you the line type. A number starting 98 or 97 is a mobile, which is what most people in Nepal use day to day. A number starting with a short area code such as 1 for Kathmandu or 61 for Pokhara is a landline, and the local leading zero on that area code is dropped when you call from abroad.

Most calls home go to a mobile, since family members carry their phones with them. The rate is the same clear per minute price either way on StartACall, so you do not need to second guess the line type before you dial. If you have only a number written in the local format with a leading zero, simply remove that zero, add +977 in front and call.

What it costs to call Nepal

A call to Nepal runs about $0.93 per minute. Billing is per minute, with no monthly plan, and a small $0.004 connection fee applies per call. The credit you add never expires, so you can keep a small balance for when you need it.

Many Nepali workers in Singapore call home regularly, so this is built for staying close to family. The free first call lets you check the line before you top up any credit.

Built for the Nepali community in Singapore

Singapore is home to a large Nepali community, including many who work long hours and send money and news home to family. A browser call means no SIM swap and no app to manage on a phone that may already be full, just a quick login and a tap to dial. It also works from a shared laptop or a friend's device, since the account is yours rather than tied to one phone.

Because the credit never expires and there is no monthly plan, the cost matches how people actually call, a few minutes here and there rather than a fixed bundle. You only ever pay for the minutes you use, plus the small connection fee, with no commitment to cancel. A modest top up stretches across many short calls home, and whatever is left simply waits for the next time.

Time difference and good times to call

Nepal is two hours and fifteen minutes behind Singapore. When it is evening in Singapore, it is late afternoon in Nepal, a good window to catch family at home.

For a relaxed chat, the Singapore evening usually works well, since it still reaches a comfortable hour in Nepal. Late mornings on a rest day also line up nicely on both sides.
