Bangladesh eSIM FAQ for UK Travellers

Do I get a phone number with the eSIM?
No. Our eSIMs are data-only, so they do not come with a phone number. You use them for internet access — maps, WhatsApp, email, social media, streaming and any other app. Your existing SIM keeps your own phone number active.
Can I make or receive calls and text messages (SMS)?
Not standard calls or SMS — the eSIM provides mobile data only. You can call and message as much as you like through internet apps such as WhatsApp, FaceTime, Telegram, Signal or Messenger, which run on the eSIM's data. Standard calls and SMS keep working on your usual number through your home operator, as long as you keep that SIM active.
How much data do I need in Bangladesh?
It depends on the plan you choose. Across nearly 3,000 of our customers' finished eSIMs, the typical one used half to two-thirds of its plan, and on the smaller plans (1-5 GB) about one in three used all of it. Maps and messaging use little; video, video calls and sharing your connection use the most. If in doubt, take the next size up. If you do run out, you can buy another eSIM at any time - you will need WiFi to install it.
What network speeds will I get in Bangladesh?
Your Bangladesh eSIM uses a local mobile network: 4G, and 5G where the network offers it. Speed depends on coverage and your location.
Can I share data with my laptop or tablet?
Yes, but only for Data Plans with a fixed data allowance. Unlimited plans do not support hotspot or tethering.
When should I install my Bangladesh eSIM?
Install your eSIM while you still have WiFi at home - it is safe to do so days in advance for either plan type. Per-GB plans only start when the eSIM first connects to a network in Bangladesh. Unlimited plans run on the travel dates you select at checkout, with the days counting from your chosen start date whether the eSIM is installed or not - so make sure it is on your phone by that date.

Setting up your eSIM? The installation and activation guide walks through it step by step, and the full FAQ covers device compatibility, hotspot, dual SIM and topping up.

Visiting family in Bangladesh from the UK

A Bangladesh eSIM covers Dhaka, Sylhet and the rest of the country on one plan, so you are online from the airport for the ride home and can keep the family WhatsApp group going without a local SIM. It is data only - your UK number stays on your phone for calls and bank texts.

Biman Bangladesh Airlines flies from Heathrow to Dhaka and Sylhet, and links Manchester with Dhaka via Sylhet. Bangladesh is five hours ahead of the UK in British Summer Time and six in winter. Most sockets are universal and take a UK plug.

The "No Visa Required" stamp, or a visa

British passport holders need a visa unless their passport carries a "no visa required" stamp. British nationals of Bangladeshi origin can apply for the stamp at the Bangladesh High Commission in London: it costs £70 and takes five to seven working days in person or 21 days by post - the High Commission says it is never an urgent service, so apply well before you book. Otherwise a tourist visa from the High Commission costs £105.

A visa on arrival at Dhaka airport is possible but not guaranteed: 50 US dollars in cash, for up to 30 days, and you need a return ticket and proof of funds. Your passport needs two blank pages, and six months' validity counted from the date the visa is issued. Bangladesh also uses electronic arrival and departure cards, and you should make sure your passport is stamped on entry (gov.uk, updated 4 September 2026).

On a UK plan, EE charges £6 a day (£30 a week), O2 Travel £7, Vodafone £8 and Three £7 or £8.

Good to know before you go

How much is the No Visa Required stamp for Bangladesh?+

£70 at the Bangladesh High Commission in London, taking 5 to 7 working days in person or 21 days by post; it is never processed urgently (checked 9 October 2026).
