How Nepal compares
A marketing message to Nepal costs 27% more than to a UAE number. It ranks #16 of 47 for marketing prices and #42 for utility prices, where #1 is the most expensive. A marketing message costs 21.5 times a utility message here, so sending booking confirmations and reminders as utility templates, not promotions, matters.
One-time passcodes sent to Nepal numbers by a business registered in another country can be billed at Meta's authentication-international rate of AED 0.4113 instead of AED 0.0125.
