eSIM Bangladesh
Bangladesh eSIM from 2,95€ on the Banglalink network: prepaid data packs, no contract and no registration, set up by QR code and connected the minute you land in Dhaka.
Your Selection
Your plan only starts counting when the eSIM first connects at your destination — so you can buy today and travel in three weeks.
How does Simbye eSIM work for Bangladesh?
Get connected in under 2 minutes
Set up days before you fly
As soon as you order, we email you a link. One tap and the eSIM is on your phone, sitting beside your normal card without disturbing it. Nothing is used up at this point — the clock only starts later, so install it at home in peace.
Turn it on after landing
Once you land in Dhaka or Chittagong, there is exactly one thing to do: switch on data roaming for the Simbye line. Your phone then connects to the Banglalink network on its own. Roaming on your home SIM can stay off for the entire stay.
Keep your number, add data anytime
Because your normal card never leaves the phone, you stay reachable on your usual number for calls and texts throughout the trip. And if you go through the data faster than planned, open the app and add more — the eSIM keeps going, no new installation needed.
Check Device Compatibility
Make sure your device supports eSIM before purchasing
Which networks will you be on in Bangladesh?
One line, one network: your phone rides Banglalink wherever you go in Bangladesh, from Dhaka's traffic to the tea hills.

Your Simbye line runs on Banglalink, so there is no operator hunting to do — the phone registers and that is that. Land at Hazrat Shahjalal in Dhaka or Shah Amanat in Chattogram and you are usually online before you have cleared the queue at immigration, with the local network handling everything. Nothing needs setting up on your side: no APN to type, no profile to choose, no app to open before it works. If the bar stays empty when you land, flip airplane mode on and off and give it about ten seconds to search again — that alone fixes most of it. If it still sits there, turn off automatic network selection and pick Banglalink from the list by hand.
Dhaka, Chattogram, Sylhet, Khulna and Rajshahi are well served, and the routes travellers take hold up: the highway down to Cox's Bazar, the tea estates around Srimangal, the ghats at Sadarghat. Away from the towns it gets thin in ways worth planning for. Deep in the Sundarbans the mangrove channels go quiet once your boat leaves the ranges around Mongla, and a night on the water usually means no signal at all. The Chittagong Hill Tracts are hit and miss — Bandarban town and Rangamati are fine, the ridges above Sajek and Nilgiri are not. Saint Martin's Island and the shifting char islands in the Padma and Jamuna are patchy, and long launch journeys through the Sunamganj haors drop out for stretches.
eSIM or a local SIM card in Bangladesh?
Skip the counter. In Bangladesh a local SIM means a fingerprint scan, your passport and a visa copy before it works, while the Simbye line is already running on Banglalink when you land in Dhaka.
How much data do you need in Bangladesh?
So you can work it out instead of guessing: how much an hour costs in the apps you actually use on holiday.
Just staying reachable
1–3 GB
Messages, the map now and then, checking mail. Everything else runs on the hotel Wi-Fi.
An ordinary holiday
5–10 GB
Navigating, social media, uploading photos, a few videos in the evening.
Out a lot, or a laptop along
20 GB and up
Streaming in the evening, video calls home, keeping a laptop or tablet online through your phone.
Data used per hour
The Netflix and Spotify figures come from the providers themselves (Netflix Help Center, Spotify Support, retrieved 28 Aug 2026). The rest are network-operator estimates (o2, Vodafone, EE) and vary with picture quality and reception.
