Bangladesh eSIM and the device-registration rule
A data-only profile from Fatafati, riding GrameenPhone (4G) as a visitor. No local shop, no local number, no counter.
12 plans for Bangladesh, from 1 GB at $3.99 to 20 GB at $27.49, plus 6 unlimited-data tiers. 5 GB for 30 days costs $10.99 — 11th cheapest of 29 in Asia, against a $10.99 median. Our retail prices from the operator catalogue, checked 28 September 2026.
Bangladesh also runs a device-registration rule that can close the handset itself to every local network. The eSIM is not what gets blocked — the phone is.

The QR code arrives by email Right after payment, together with a link to the order page. That page keeps
the same QR and the manual install code, so a lost email costs nothing.
QR code valid for a year, price locked at checkout Buy now, install the day before you fly — the paid days start only at first connection in Bangladesh. The exact date is on your order page and in the email — how the window works.
Refund until the eSIM connects for the first time Installing it at home does not count as using it, so the profile can sit in your phone until you land in Bangladesh.
If the profile fails to work through no fault of your device, we refund it whether or not it was installed. Terms and refunds.

Questions people ask about Bangladesh
Can I buy the Bangladesh eSIM as a tourist, or does someone check my passport first?
No counter and no document: the Fatafati profile arrives as a QR by email and joins GrameenPhone the moment you scan it. The catalogue records no identity check on it, checked 28 September 2026. That is the line, not the handset — Bangladesh's device rule is the section above.
Will WhatsApp calls work on the Bangladesh eSIM, and do I get a phone number?
WhatsApp and FaceTime calls run over data, so they work. The Fatafati profile is data-only — all 12 Bangladesh plans are — so it carries no phone number: no SMS, no ordinary calls. Keep your home SIM in the phone for bank codes.
How much data do I need for a week in Bangladesh?
About 2.4 GB — maps, chats and a podcast a day, with video left on hotel Wi-Fi. In Bangladesh the cheapest plan that covers it is 3 GB - 30 days at $7.99. That is a guide, not a measurement: the rates are the services' own published figures.
Will I get 5G on the Bangladesh eSIM?
No — the Bangladesh profile is specified for 4G on GrameenPhone, not 5G. For maps, calls over data and streaming that is the same experience; 5G changes the number, not the trip.
Does the Bangladesh eSIM work in the countries next door?
No — the catalogue lists this as a local Bangladesh profile on GrameenPhone, not a regional plan; it stops at the border. 28 other Asia countries in the catalogue sell their own.
Is there an unlimited-data plan for Bangladesh?
Yes — 6 unlimited tiers for Bangladesh, 3 to 30 days, from $11.99, which works out at $4.00 a day. The metered plans above are the alternative when you know roughly how much you use.
