There can be many types of VAS Services. VAS can be even be on Voice Calls or on SMS or any other services normally provided by a Telecommunication Company.
SMS VAS is the VAS for Short Messaging Service provided by telecommunications. You can see Four/Five digit numbers like 5001, 6001, 52525 etc. These numbers are called Shortcodes and generally represent VAS service for SMS.
In Nepal there are three major telecommunication service providers. However, regional providers like Satellite Telecom Ltd, also do exist.
The three major telecom providers namely, Nepal Telecom, Spice Nepal Pvt. Ltd, and United Telecom Limited have outreach throughout the country, and as per the current status VAS is provided targeting subscribers from these networks.
VAS Providers
Companies/Firms providing shortcode services are VAS providers. According to current scenario in Nepal, Nepal Telecom does not provide any new VAS Provider contract directly. Tenders for the VAS Provider has already been made and selection is done. The list of VAS providers from Nepal Telecom can be seen on this page - http://www.ntc.net.np/mobile/mob_services_VAS_details.php
However, other providers do provide new contracts as VAS providers to any business willing to be into the VAS provider's list.
How to get shortnumbers for your business ?
A Business, Small Office, Large Corporate Houses, etc... anyone may apply for VAS solutions in the country. General VAS Trends in the country are
- Voting Campaigns and
- Info-On-Demand.
1. Voting Campaigns are run to receive public Verdict on any issue/topic/tv-programme/public-opinion etc.
2. Info-On-Demand services are to receive Information on any subject. Example, if one says type INFO VISA and send to 5001, then it may be something like seeking on Demand Information for VISA.

Thân ảnh Nhạc Thành rất nhanh lùi lại, Hóa Xà tung ra một kích công kích, lúc này ở trên không trung xuất hiện một cỗ lực lượng cường hãn rất lớn lao tới, mặc dù Nhạc Thành trên thân có Kim Long chi thể cũng tối sầm lại, trong cơ thể lục phủ ngũ tạng cũng đang chấn độnThành thân hình cấp tốc lùi lại, hắn phát hiện bốn phía đã bị đám ma thú vây quanh, sau đó hắn cũng đành phải dừng thân tại giữa không trung mà thôi.

Hóa Xà thần thú nói, lập tức hai mắt kỳ quái nhìn Nhạc Thành đánh giá, một lát chậm rãi nói:
