Banglalink is one of the networks your eSIM may use in Bangladesh. Here is who actually decides which network you get, and what to do with that.
Quick answer
Banglalink (MCC-MNC 470-03) retired its 3G network in 2024 to focus on 4G, which covered about 88 percent of the population by the first quarter of 2024.

Checked against the sources on 2026-10-12. Only the bands a source confirmed are listed; the network may run others too.
An eSIM can only use Banglalink if your phone supports at least one band in this table. Before you fly, open your model's spec page on the maker's site and compare its LTE and 5G band lists.
Mobile networks in Bangladesh are licensed, and their spectrum assigned, by the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC). The bands above are the ones it allocates. A problem with the local network's own service goes to the operator first; a problem with your eSIM plan comes to us.
From the supplier record behind each package, 49 of the 49 plans we currently sell for Bangladesh declare Banglalink as a network the profile can reach, at 4G. The figure comes from the same catalogue that prices the plan pages, and it moves when the supplier revises the record.
| Network | LTE bands | 5G bands |
|---|---|---|
| Banglalink | B1, B3, B40 | Not verified |
| Grameenphone | B8, B3, B1, B41 | Not verified |
| Robi | B8, B3, B1 | Not verified |
A band shared across networks is one a single phone can use on all of them.
Nearly every travel eSIM is a roaming product: the profile picks a network by an order the supplier sets, not by the buyer. If Banglalink is weak where you are, try selecting Grameenphone or Robi manually in the network settings, and keep data roaming on for the eSIM profile.
49 of our plans name Banglalink as reachable, but that is not a guarantee. Travel plans run over roaming agreements, so the network depends on the supplier behind the plan, your device and where you are.
At least one of these, LTE: B1, B3, B40. Your phone's band list is on the maker's spec page for your model, under "Cellular" or "Network".
We could not confirm Banglalink's 5G status from an official source. Our plans that reach this network list 4G.
Check the carrier name at the top of the screen, or open the mobile-network settings and look at the operator list. If signal is poor, try selecting a network manually instead of automatic, but only one your plan actually supports.
