Frequently Asked Questions
Does the eSIM cover Cox's Bazar beach?
Yes — Cox's Bazar main resort area has solid Banglalink 4G along the beach strip and in town. The quieter northern end of the beach toward Teknaf has weaker signal.
Is there coverage in the Sundarbans mangrove forest?
Mongla town (the departure point) has 4G. The Sundarbans forest interior has no mobile coverage. Download offline maps and your boat tour itinerary before departing Mongla.
What ride-hailing apps work in Dhaka?
Pathao and Shohoz are the main apps and work well. Uber also operates in Dhaka. All require data. Rickshaws are the other main transport — negotiate fares in advance.
How useful is mobile data for navigating Dhaka's traffic?
Extremely useful — Google Maps with real-time traffic is practically essential in Dhaka. The city has some of the world's worst congestion and routing matters enormously for journey times.
Does coverage reach the Chittagong Hill Tracts?
Valley-floor areas in Rangamati, Bandarban, and Khagrachhari have 4G in town. Highland trails, Boga Lake, and peaks like Keokradong have no coverage. Permits are also required for foreign visitors in these areas.
Is the Bengali language translation app necessary?
Very useful — Bengali (Bangla) script is used on most signage, menus, and public transport. Download Google Translate's Bengali offline pack before arrival.
What speeds can I expect in Dhaka?
Banglalink delivers 10–40 Mbps on 4G in central Dhaka. Network congestion in the densely populated city can reduce speeds during peak hours.
Are there internet restrictions in Bangladesh?
Bangladesh has blocked certain content and apps intermittently during political events. Facebook, WhatsApp, and Google services generally function. A VPN is useful for consistent access.

eSIM Guide for Bangladesh
Your eSIM connects to major carriers in Bangladesh:
Available networks: 4G
Bangladesh is a densely populated South Asian nation with a surprisingly good mobile network — Banglalink provides 4G across Dhaka, Chittagong, and the main urban corridor, with expanding coverage in rural areas. Data is essential in Dhaka for using Pathao and Shohoz (the dominant ride-hailing and delivery apps), navigating Dhaka's notoriously complex traffic via Google Maps, and translating Bengali script on shop signs and transport terminals. Dhaka's traffic is among the world's densest and navigation apps with real-time traffic are genuinely transformative here.
Banglalink's 4G is solid in Dhaka, Chittagong (Chattogram), Sylhet, Rajshahi, and Khulna. The Dhaka-Chittagong highway has coverage throughout. Cox's Bazar, the world's longest natural sea beach (120km), has reliable 4G in the main resort strip. The Sundarbans mangrove forest UNESCO site has coverage in Mongla town but the forest itself has no signal — download offline maps before boarding boats.
The Chittagong Hill Tracts — Rangamati, Bandarban, Khagrachhari — are beautiful but connectivity is patchy in highland areas. These zones require special permits for foreign visitors and coverage drops significantly above valley floors. Bandarban's Boga Lake and Keokradong peak have no signal.
Sylhet's tea garden region has 4G in Sylhet city and main towns; the plantation tracks and forest areas have limited coverage. The haors (seasonal wetlands) of Sunamganj are remote with minimal coverage.
Bangladesh uses Bengali (Bangla) script — download Google Translate's Bengali offline pack. The app is essential for reading transport signage, menus, and negotiating in markets outside tourist areas.
