Three million SMSs being sent through Nepal Telecom GSM every day

Nepal Telecom's GSM mobile phone network witnesses a traffic of around three million SMSs every day, a spokesperson for the telecom has said.

The number excludes international SMSs and SMSs sent within networks outside Nepal Telecom, said NT Spokesperson Gunakeshari Pradhan.

As an SMS costs around Rs 1 (excluding taxes), Nepal Telecom, which has been consistently making it to the country's 'top taxpayers' list every year, earns around Rs three million every day through its SMS service. nepalnews.com
