Bangladesh – known for being home to the world's largest river delta, for having the most densely populated city worldwide & for having the longest female-led government.
It is also the world's 8th most populous country, while only being the world's 92th largest country.
So, with this many people in the country, there must be a lot to do and see, right?
Yes, there is.
From temples, like Sompur Mahavihara, to museums, like Ahsan Manzil Museum.
From the many street markets to national parks, there is no reason to be bored in Bangladesh.
Let alone the country's stunning beaches, like Kuakata Sea Beach.
What makes Bangladesh even more exciting is that it is an inexpensive travel destination.
South Asia is not known for being expensive, which is great for those who do not want to spend their whole life savings on a trip (like in the Caribbean or Oceania).
This is another reason why you should get a Bangladeshi local SIM card because there is almost no mobile operator with lower international roaming rates than the mobile data rates in Bangladesh.
Moreover, SIM cards in Bangladesh are cheap too.
You can get a Bangladeshi SIM card for 150 BDT (1.80 USD) from Teletalk or 200 BDT (2.20 USD) from Grameenphone, Skitto, Robi, Airtel & Banglalink in their stores (or pick-up locations for Skitto). SIM cards are also available at Dhaka-Hazrat Shahjalal & Chittagong-Shah Amanat International Airports.
Not expensive at all, right? Just wait until you learn Bangadesh is in the top ten countries with the lowest mobile data rates globally.
Yep, that is right – data costs basically nothing (if you are used to much higher rates, of course – Bangladeshis reading this may strangle me if they read this without the disclaimer, haha).
In this guide, I will tell you everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Bangladesh. Let's do this.

Can You Buy a SIM Card in Bangladesh?
Anyone 18 years old or older living in or visiting Bangladesh can buy a Bangladeshi SIM card from the mobile network operators (Grameenphone, Skitto, Robi, Airtel, Banglalink & Teletalk) with some restrictions.
The main restriction is that you can only have 15 active SIM cards in your name in Bangladesh.
Even for people like me, who like to test out all the mobile operators in a country, this should be more than enough.
Note that Skitto allows you to have only one SIM card, so be aware of that.
Besides that restriction, you are free to use Bangladeshi SIM cards.
You do have to comply with the SIM card registration regulations.

Moreover, you need a phone that supports the frequencies used in the country (preferably all of them to have the most optimal experience while in Bangladesh).
Furthermore, you need to have a SIM-lock-free device.
Where Can You Buy a SIM Card in Bangladesh?
You can get a Bangladeshi SIM card in Grameenphone Robi, Airtel, Banglalink & Teletalk stores and from Skitto pick-up points. They are also available from third-party stores (but not for tourists). Dhaka-Hazrat Shahjalal & Chittagong-Shah Amanat International Airports sell SIM cards too.
You can expect to pay the following for Bangladeshi SIM cards:
- Grameenphone: 200 BDT
- Skitto: 200 BDT
- Robi (Axiata): 200 BDT
- Airtel Bangladesh: 200 BDT
- Banglalink: 200 BDT
- Teletalk Bangladesh: 150 BDT
For up-to-date BDT:your currency (let's say INR) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.
- Find out how much SIM cards cost in every country, including data-only SIM cards and tourist SIM cards, offered by each mobile operator + information about starter benefits (lookup tool)
Can You Use Your Phone in Bangladesh?
Bangladesh uses GSM technology for mobile communications. CDMA phones will not work in Bangladesh. If your phone has a SIM card slot, then it supports GSMA (99% of the phones do support GSM nowadays).
Traditional European frequencies are used in Bangladesh, which are mostly used in ITU Regions 1 and 3 (Africa, Asia (including the Middle East), Europe & Oceania).
The Americas (North-, Central– & South America + the Caribbean – ITU Region 2) use American Frequencies, which differ from the European ones.
If you bought your phone in Africa, Asia, Europe, or Oceania (ITU regions 1 and 3), you should not experience any issues with using your phone in Bangladesh.
If you purchased your phone in the Americas (ITU Region 2) and have a low/medium-end device (without Tri-Band or Quad-Band) support, then there is a possibility you cannot use your phone when in Bangladesh or can only use slower networks (3G or 2G).
If you have a medium/high-end device with Tri-Band or Quad-Band support, you can use your phone in Bangladesh (to some extent) – also on 4G/LTE (and soon 5G NR).
Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies in Bangladesh
Bangladesh has five mobile operators and one sub-brand offering prepaid services:
- Grameenphone
- Skitto (Grameenphone sub-brand)
- Robi (Axiata)
- Airtel Bangladesh (by Robi)
- Banglalink
- Teletalk Bangladesh
The following frequencies are used in Bangladesh:
- 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
- 3G: 900 MHz & 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 900 MHz (Band 8), 1800 MHz (Band 3) & 2100 MHz (Band 1)
- 5G NR: 3500 MHz (n78) – not commercial yet
You can learn more about frequencies in the video below.
To check whether your phone will work in Bangladesh, check out this page by Will My Phone Work (may be outdated or inaccurate at times).
Again, make sure your phone is unlocked. Otherwise, you will not be able to use any SIM card except the one from your home operator (meaning you have to roam internationally or buy another unlocked phone that does support the frequencies listed above).
If you want to learn how international roaming works, this guide explains it in-depth. If you wonder why it is often so expensive to roam, this article explains the hidden reason they do not want you to know.
5G NR in Bangladesh
Commercial 5G NR is not available in Bangladesh yet in 2022. However, the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) planned on holding a 5G NR license auction in December 2021 (which did not take place). Teletalk has, however, been awarded a 5G NR license in September 2021.
Best SIM Card in Bangladesh
If you want to buy the best SIM card in Bangladesh, I recommend going with Grameenphone or Banglalink. Grameenphone is, overall, the best mobile operator with the best performance. Banglalink is the fastest, but its (4G/LTE) coverage lacks compared to its competitors.

If you want to buy the best international/travel SIM card for Bangladesh, I recommend going with SimCorner's Bangladesh SIM cards. Consider SimCorner's Asia SIM cards to be used in Bangladesh and 20+ countries, including neighboring India, Nepal & Myanmar (Burma).
You have the following two Bangladesh Travel SIM cards:
- Check out my SimCorner Travel SIM card reviews
You have these two Asia SIM cards:

SIM Card Registation in Bangladesh

Currency in Bangladesh
Bangladesh uses the Bangladeshi Taka with the symbol BDT (which will be used throughout this guide).
However, prices are often listed as Tk. or ৳. For example, 25 BDT = tk/৳ 25.
For reference, below are some exchange rates between BDT and USD (US Dollars):
- 1 BDT = 0.01 USD
- 10 BDT = 0.10 USD
- 100 BDT= 1.20 USD
- 1000 BDT = 11.70 USD
- 10 000 BDT = 116.70 USD
For up-to-date BDT:your currency (let's say INR – Indian Rupee) exchange rates, use the Wise Currency Converter tool.
If your credit/debit card charges you foreign exchange fees, get yourself a Wise Borderless Account and Debit Card.
Their fees are MUCH lower than banks, and credit card companies charge you (and Wise is transparent about their fees, unlike banks).
I have saved literal THOUSANDS of Euros, my main currency, when using Wise abroad when traveling compared to my debit and credit cards. Open a Wise account FREE!

With that being said, let’s see what Bangladesh has to offer to us.
Grameenphone
Grameenphone is the largest mobile operator in Bangladesh.
It has, in most aspects, the best network in the country.
Grameenphone is run by the Norwegian telecommunications company called Telenor, which is active in Asia (Malaysia – Digi Malaysia, Pakistan – Telenor & Thailand – dtac) and Europe (Denmark, Norway & Sweden as Telenor and as DNA in Finland).
However, as it is the most popular mobile operator, it suffers from network congestion from time to time, which affects the network experience.
This is why other mobile operators may have better outcomes in tests. But Grameenphone is undoubtedly recommended for those visiting rural Bangladesh.
Grameenphone uses the following frequencies:
- 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
- 3G: 900 MHz & 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 900 MHz (Band 8) & 1800 MHz (Band 3)

Airtel Bangladesh
Airtel Bangladesh, just Airtel, is, together with Robi (Axiata), the second-largest mobile operator in Bangladesh.
As of 2016, Airtel is part of Robi after the merger was completed.
For now, the Airtel brand will remain, and it will still offer products and services.
It is unknown if this will change in the (near) future.
However, as Robi and Airtel have been one company for around five years, Airtel will likely keep operating the way it currently is.

Teletalk Bangladesh
Teletalk Bangladesh, just Teletalk, is the smallest mobile operator in Bangladesh.
It is a state-owned company. Not surprising to some, Teletalk is the worst option out there.
It was so bad that I omitted Teletalk in the previous version of this guide.
However, Teletalk has improved a lot over the years and managed to be the first mobile operator to get a 5G NR license.
But that is probably because the company is state-owned and pulled some strings Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission.
Suppose you plan on visiting Dublar Char Island, Jamtola Beach, Katka Sea Beach, or Sundarban.
In that case, you have to go with Teletalk because it has an exclusivity in these places.
While Teletalk has improved its network and coverage, all the other mobile operators are much better options.
Perhaps that will change in the (near) future.
Teletalk uses the following frequencies:
- 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
- 3G: 900 MHz & 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 900 MHz (Band 8) & 1800 MHz (Band 3)
- 5G NR: 3500 MHz (n78) – not commecrial yet
This is what you will learn about Teletalk:

* Topping Up Options & Methods + Balance Check

Coverage – Teletalk Bangladesh
Teletalk has the worst coverage in Bangladesh.
However, 4G/LTE reception is available in all populated areas. Although it may be weak.

Other Ways to Stay Connected When Traveling in Bangladesh
I would highly encourage anyone visiting Bangladesh to get themselves a Bangladeshi SIM card – you will be saving a lot of money when you do so.
However, for some, getting a Bangladeshi SIM card is not an option.
For example, your device may be SIM-locked, meaning that you cannot use any other SIM card other than the SIM card provided by your operator.
There are other ways to stay online while in Bangladesh, but they may not be cheap.
International Roaming
International roaming is the most convenient way to stay connected when traveling in other countries because you do not have to buy a new SIM card, have to deal with SIM card registration regulations, nor have multiple phone numbers to deal with.
However, international roaming has proven to be expensive in many cases, especially compared to buying local SIM cards.
That is why many travelers are not fond of international roaming.
International roaming has its pros and cons. However, it is important to know how it works. This in-depth guide explains it all.
Find out whether your mobile operator has attractive roaming rates for Bangladesh here.
Using an International SIM Card or Travel SIM Card
International SIM cards are SIM cards made for the traveler in mind. Using them is often cheaper than international roaming.
However, they are almost always more expensive than using a local SIM card.
There are many other advantages and disadvantages of getting international SIM cards, which you can learn about here.
Using a Mobile Hotspot (Pocket WIFI)
Mobile hotspots, or pocket WIFI, are small devices that connect to the local mobile operators of the country you are visiting.
Mobile hotspots are ideal for families or those traveling in a large group, as they allow you to connect multiple devices to one hotspot without the need of each traveler having to buy a SIM card.
You can either buy a mobile hotspot or rent one.
Using Free WIFI Networks
Using free WIFI connections is the cheapest way to stay connected because they are free.
The major downside of trying to use WIFI hotspots is that you will have to locate them, and they are not available on every corner in Bangladesh.
Make sure to protect your internet traffic with a VPN so that hackers cannot steal your personal data.
The Preferred Way to Stay Connected When Traveling in Bangladesh
Getting a SIM card from Grameenphone or Banglalink would do you well when considering a Bangladeshi SIM card.
