- A long stay of 30 days: Standard use for a month fits 20 GB for 30 days, which covers messaging home and booking rides.

Will my eSIM have signal in Bangladesh?

Your data reaches the internet through the United Kingdom. It's a normal setup for travel eSIMs, and you don't need to change anything. Find out more on the IP address help page. On daily plans, speeds drop to 512 Kbps once you've used that day's allowance.
