Bangladesh travel data eSIM
What is a Bangladesh eSIM?
Travelling to Bangladesh means navigating the dense urban landscapes of Dhaka and the coastal bustle of Chattogram. A data-only eSIM ensures your phone stays connected for maps, messaging, and bookings without relying on hotel Wi-Fi. It installs via QR code before you depart, ready to activate upon arrival. Your home SIM remains active for calls and texts, while the eSIM handles your internet needs throughout your stay in this South Asian nation.
This plan connects to Banglalink 4G networks. Coverage depends on the operator’s infrastructure where you are located. Data usage begins only after your first connection in Bangladesh. You can set up a personal hotspot on compatible devices. The plan offers flexible durations, ranging from short-term 7-day options to longer 30-day cycles, allowing you to select a data allowance that matches your specific itinerary and usage habits.
Local networks
Which networks you connect to in Bangladesh
Your eSIM connects to Banglalink 4G networks across Bangladesh. Network availability varies by location, so coverage depends on the operator’s presence in the specific area you are visiting. Whether you are in a major city or a rural district, the connection relies on local infrastructure. This ensures you have access to mobile data for essential travel tasks, navigation, and communication while exploring the country’s diverse regions and urban centers.
5 plans are available for Bangladesh, from $3.90 up to $26.90. Every plan is data only, delivered by QR code, and starts counting when you connect on arrival.

Questions people actually ask
If yours is not here, write to us — we answer within 24 hours.
Which operator does the Bangladesh eSIM use?
The eSIM connects to Banglalink 4G networks. This means your data access depends on Banglalink’s infrastructure in your specific location. It provides a dedicated data connection for your phone while you are in Bangladesh, separate from your primary SIM card.
Does this eSIM work in neighboring countries?
No, this is a single-country plan valid only in Bangladesh. It does not function in neighboring nations like India or Myanmar. If you are planning a multi-country trip, look for our regional plans designed for broader coverage across multiple destinations.
Which plan size suits a trip to Dhaka and Chattogram?
As a rough guide, a 5GB or 10GB plan over 30 days may suit a visit to both cities. This allows for map usage, messaging, and light browsing. Heavier streaming or hotspot use might require the larger 20GB option to ensure sufficient data.
Will I lose my own phone number?
No. Your physical SIM stays in the phone and keeps your number for calls and WhatsApp. The eSIM only carries data, so both work side by side.
When does my plan start counting down?
When the eSIM first connects to a network at your destination — not when you buy it. So you can install it days before you fly without losing any time.
Is my phone compatible?
Most phones from 2018 onwards are: iPhone XS and later, Google Pixel 3 and later, Samsung Galaxy S20 and later. Your phone also has to be carrier-unlocked. Dial *#06# — if an EID appears, you have eSIM. Full list on our Device Compatibility page.
How fast will I get my QR code?
Usually within a couple of minutes of payment, by email. If it has not arrived, check spam first, then write to us and we will resend it immediately.
Can I use hotspot or tethering?
Yes, on every plan we sell. Share the connection with a laptop, a tablet or the rest of your group.
What if I change my mind?
If you have not installed the eSIM, you get a full refund within 180 days. Once a profile is activated and data has been used it cannot be refunded — the allowance is consumed from the network. Full detail in our Refund Policy.
Do you sell plans for groups?
Yes. For Umrah and Hajj groups, student trips and tour operators we deliver the QR codes as a single batch before departure, at group rates. Email us with your group size and destination.
