eSIM in Bangladesh
Your Bangladesh eSIM connects to 2 mobile networks, automatically switching to the strongest signal — with speeds up to 4G.
Data does real work here. Dhaka's traffic is legendary, so live maps and a ride-hailing app like Pathao or Uber save you hours of haggling and guesswork. Hotels and tour guides arrange almost everything over WhatsApp, and a translation app helps with Bangla menus in Old Dhaka. Heading to Cox's Bazar beach or the tea gardens of Srimangal? You'll want train times and booking confirmations in your pocket.
An eSIM for Bangladesh keeps it simple: buy online before you fly, tap the install link in your email — or scan the QR code if you prefer — and set it up from your sofa. Your phone does the rest when you land.

Networks & coverage in Bangladesh
The real networks your Lumbus eSIM connects to in Bangladesh.
Banglalink
Grameenphone
Your Bangladesh eSIM connects to Banglalink and Grameenphone, both on 4G — the top speed on this plan. You don't choose between them: your phone automatically picks whichever signal is strongest and switches as you move, from the packed streets of Old Dhaka to the highway down to Cox's Bazar. That's plenty for maps, WhatsApp calls, and ride-hailing.

Staying connected in Bangladesh
Practical advice for using mobile data in Bangladesh.
Book a Pathao from arrivals
Ride-hailing beats bargaining with taxi drivers outside Hazrat Shahjalal. Open Pathao or Uber while you wait for your bags and walk straight to your pickup point.
Offline maps for the Sundarbans
Boat trips through the mangroves drift far from any signal. Download the offline map for the Khulna region before leaving the city, and screenshot your boat operator's number.
WhatsApp runs travel in Bangladesh
Guesthouses, guides, and drivers confirm bookings over WhatsApp far more often than email. A quick message sorts out a late arrival in Sylhet faster than any phone call.
Tether on long train rides
The train from Dhaka to Chittagong takes several hours. Turn on your hotspot and share your data so the whole group can stream, read, and message.
Install before you fly
Airport Wi-Fi is not something to bet a pickup on. Tap the install link from your email at home on Wi-Fi, then simply switch on data when you land in Dhaka.
