## Networks

- Bangladesh: Banglalink (4G)

## Which Bangladesh eSIM plan do I need?

Pick your plan by trip length and how much you use your phone each day.

- **A three-day city break in Dhaka:** 1 GB a day for 3 days covers social media, music and some video, so you can ride with Pathao or Uber all weekend.
- **A fortnight touring the country:** Standard use over 14 days fits 10 GB for 30 days, as you move between Chattogram, Cox's Bazar, Sylhet and Khulna.
- **A long stay of 30 days:** Standard use for a month fits 20 GB for 30 days, which covers messaging home and booking rides.
- **A week that also takes in a neighbour:** For a week of standard use, look for 5 GB for 30 days on the [South Asia bundle](/esim/south-asia), which covers six countries.

Most plans can be topped up, so you can add data if your trip runs longer than planned.

## Will my eSIM have signal in Bangladesh?

Your eSIM joins the Banglalink network in Bangladesh on 4G. You don't pick anything. Your phone finds Banglalink and connects on its own, so you can get on with messages on WhatsApp, Messenger or imo, and rides on Uber or Pathao.

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](/help/ip-address-another-country). On daily plans, speeds drop to 512 Kbps once you've used that day's allowance.

## Using your phone in Bangladesh: data tips

- **Landing:** Install your eSIM at home on Wi-Fi, before you pack, then switch it on when you land at Hazrat Shahjalal (DAC), Shah Amanat (CGP) or Osmani (ZYL). Keep data roaming on for the eSIM line. [Turn on data roaming](/help/turn-on-data-roaming) shows you how.
- **Network:** Your eSIM runs on Banglalink's 4G, so there's no 5G to look for.
- **Getting around:** From Dhaka to Cox's Bazar, Uber and Pathao are the two ride apps to add to your phone before you go, so you can book a ride in a few taps.
- **Staying in touch:** Messenger, WhatsApp and imo all use your eSIM data. Your home number stays on for calls and texts, and [keep WhatsApp and your home number](/help/keep-whatsapp-and-home-number) walks you through it.
- **Data limits:** Once a daily allowance is used up, speeds drop to 512 Kbps. Most plans can be topped up, so you can add more when you need it.

## Questions

### How much is an eSIM for Bangladesh?

Bangladesh eSIMs start at £3.99 for 1 GB over 7 days. A 5 GB plan for 30 days costs £9.99. Prices include any taxes and show in pounds, euros or dollars.

### Which networks does the Bangladesh eSIM use?

Your eSIM connects to Banglalink in Bangladesh. Your phone picks the strongest signal automatically.

### When does my Bangladesh eSIM start?

Most plans start the moment your eSIM first connects to a network in Bangladesh, so you can buy and install it at home before you fly. Install it within 180 days of buying.

### Can I top up my Bangladesh eSIM?

Yes. Most Bangladesh plans can be topped up from your eSIM page in two taps, with no new QR code. The plan table on this page shows which ones.

### Why does my IP address show another country?

Bangladesh plans route your data through United Kingdom, a normal setup for travel eSIMs. Websites and apps may show that country's content; your speed and coverage in Bangladesh are not affected.

### Does it come with a phone number?

Every eSIMology plan is data only. Keep your own SIM switched on for calls and texts, and use WhatsApp, FaceTime or any calling app over your eSIM's data.

### What if my plans change?

Cancel an eSIM you haven't installed within 30 days for a full refund to your card, in two taps from your eSIM page.

### Does Pathao work with an eSIM in Bangladesh?

Yes, Pathao and Uber both run on your eSIM's mobile data, so keep the line switched on when you head out for a ride. Both are among the ride apps locals use in Dhaka, Chattogram, Cox's Bazar, Sylhet and Khulna.

### How much data do I need for a week in Bangladesh?

For a week of maps, messages and email, plan on about 1.8 GB. Add social media, music and some video and you're looking at about 4.9 GB, while heavy streaming or using your phone as a hotspot comes to about 12.6 GB.

### Which eSIM covers Bangladesh and the rest of South Asia?

The South Asia bundle covers Bangladesh, and so do the Asia bundles for 14 countries and 19 countries. If your trip takes you beyond Bangladesh, those bundles are the ones to look at.

### Can I use WhatsApp in Bangladesh?

Yes. WhatsApp, Messenger and imo are the messaging apps to have ready in Bangladesh, and each one runs on your eSIM's data, so you can message friends and family back home.

### Is there 5G in Bangladesh?

No. Your eSIM connects to Banglalink, and in Bangladesh that's a 4G network, so 4G is what your phone will show at the top of the screen. Plan your downloads and video with that in mind.

### Which airports in Bangladesh should I know about?

Hazrat Shahjalal (DAC), Shah Amanat (CGP) and Osmani (ZYL) are the airports to know. Switch your eSIM line on before the wheels touch down, so maps and messages are ready when you're through arrivals.
