- Robi: Robi, part of Axiata, holds around 30% of the market and was the first operator in Bangladesh to launch commercial 5G in September 2025.
- Banglalink: Banglalink holds roughly 20% of the market and competes mainly on price and city data speeds.
- Teletalk: State owned Teletalk is tiny at about 3.5% share and sells the cheapest SIMs, but its network lags the private operators.

Is 5G available in Bangladesh?
Robi and Grameenphone both launched commercial 5G in September 2025, starting in parts of Dhaka, Chattogram and other major areas. Banglalink and Teletalk have not announced 5G plans.
How much data do you need in Bangladesh?
Light use is about 500 MB a day. That covers maps, messages, and some browsing. Normal use with photos, social apps, and short videos runs 1 to 1.5 GB a day. Streaming and hotspot use can eat 2 to 3 GB a day. Here is what each size costs in Bangladesh right now:
eSIM or a local SIM at the airport in Bangladesh?
An eSIM is ready before you land. No queue, no shop, no handing over your passport at a counter. Data for Bangladesh starts at $2.69 on this page, which is hard for airport kiosks to beat. A local SIM still makes sense if you need a local phone number or plan to stay for months. For a normal trip, the eSIM wins on price and effort.
Setting up your Bangladesh eSIM
Buy your planYou get a QR code by email within minutes of paying.
Install before you flyScan the QR code on wifi at home. Airport and hotel wifi can be weak.
Turn it on when you landEnable the eSIM and turn on data roaming for it, then give it a minute to find the network.
Check the validity clockSome plans start counting at purchase, not at first use. Check before you buy.
Good to know before you land in Bangladesh
Biometric fingerprint registration linked to your passport is mandatory for every SIM, with no exceptions for visitors. Bangladesh runs a dedicated tourist SIM category sold at all ports of entry, valid in 7, 15 or 30 day blocks, and a tourist can register at most two SIMs per passport.
SIM counters operate at Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal and Chattogram's Shah Amanat airports. A local SIM costs about 150 BDT from Teletalk or 200 BDT from the others, roughly 1.35 to 1.80 dollars, before you add a data pack.
Grameenphone has the broadest 4G reach into rural areas, so pick GP if your plans go beyond Dhaka and Chattogram. Its eSIM also works for tourists if you would rather skip the SIM counter queue.

Do Bangladesh eSIMs support 5G?
The networks our plans use in Bangladesh currently run on 4G. That is enough for maps, messaging, video calls, and streaming in most cases.
Can I top up my Bangladesh eSIM if I run out?
Yes. 17 of the 17 plans here support top ups, so you can add data without buying a new eSIM. The rest need a fresh plan once the data ends.
Will I still receive bank SMS and OTP codes?
Yes, if you keep your home SIM active. Travel eSIMs are data only. Your phone can hold both at once, so leave your normal SIM on for SMS and use the eSIM for data. Turn off roaming data on the home SIM to avoid charges.
Do these eSIMs include a phone number or calls?
The plans we compare are data only, so there is no local number. Calls work fine over WhatsApp, FaceTime, or any app that uses data. If you need a real local number, a local SIM is the better tool.
How many GB do I need for a week in Bangladesh?
Around 3 to 5 GB covers a week of maps, messaging, and normal browsing. Heavy video or hotspot use needs 1 to 2 GB per day. Today the cheapest plan with at least 5 GB is MegaEsim at $5.52.
