1 · The short answer

Six travel eSIMs sell a Bangladesh plan and get most of the traffic for this search. We priced all six on the same day, for a few days of business in Dhaka, two weeks out to the Sundarbans and Cox's Bazar, and a month, and read the fine print on unlimited. Here is where each one wins.

4 · What to do in Bangladesh, and what your phone needs for it

Eight places most first trips include, from Old Dhaka to the Sundarbans, Cox's Bazar, the tea hills of Sylhet and the ruins of the north, with the one thing your data does for you at each. The cities have good 4G; in the forests and on the rivers, download before you go.

5 · If you want unlimited for two weeks or a month: Ringo Light

Most people come to Bangladesh for work in Dhaka or to see family, and stay two weeks or more. For 15 days of unlimited, Airalo asks $50, Holafly $50.50, Ubigi $54 and Saily $54.99 on its Asia plan. For a month, Airalo asks $73.50, Holafly $73.90 and Saily $81.99. Nomad sells no unlimited plan for Bangladesh at all. Ringo Light charges $21.99 for 2 weeks and $40.99 for 30 days, one payment each, nothing renews.

Read what unlimited means before you pick. Airalo gives 3 GB a day at full speed, then 1 Mbps. Ubigi and Saily give 5 GB a day, then slow you down. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone and limits sharing to 1 GB a day. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed for 2 weeks or 30 days.

For a short trip, Ringo Light sells no 3-day or 7-day plan. Airalo sells 3 days of unlimited at $11.50 and Holafly at $11.90. For a week, Airalo asks $27 and Holafly $27.50, so our 2 weeks at $21.99 costs less than either brand's week.

6 · Which network works best in Bangladesh

Bangladesh has four mobile networks: Grameenphone, Robi, Banglalink and the state-owned Teletalk. Grameenphone is the largest and reaches furthest outside the cities. Airalo and Holafly ride Grameenphone; Nomad and Ubigi ride Banglalink. Saily does not name its network. In Dhaka, Chittagong, Sylhet and Cox's Bazar, any of them works.

Two things are true for every brand here, ours included. Deep in the Sundarbans, signal fades to nothing once the boat leaves the villages behind. And the government has shut down mobile internet across the country before, for days at a time during the July 2024 protests. A travel eSIM rides the same local networks, so it goes down with them. Keep offline maps and your bookings saved on the phone.

7 · If you want a data bucket: Airalo or Nomad

  • Airalo, $17.50 for 10 GB. The cheapest 10 GB here, on Grameenphone, 20 GB for $27.50, and small buckets from $4 for 1 GB. The app is needed.
  • Saily, $17.99 for 10 GB. 20 GB for $27.99, read on saily.com in dollars on the day. It does not name its network.
  • Nomad, $20 for 10 GB. And the cheapest 20 GB at $25, on Banglalink. A good fit for a light month.
  • Ubigi, $20 for 10 GB. On Banglalink, and 10 GB for 7 days at $18. No 20 GB plan was listed; 25 GB is $49.
  • ✓Ringo Light, no buckets. Our 2 weeks is unlimited for $21.99 and our 30 days unlimited for $40.99. For a fixed amount of data, Airalo, Saily, Nomad and Ubigi are all cheaper in Bangladesh. Buy Ringo Light for unlimited, not for a bucket. We would rather you read that here than at checkout.

8 · What Ringo Light is

Ringo Light is our own data eSIM, sold to fund the full Ringo, one plan that works everywhere with your own number ported onto it. For Bangladesh it sells two trips, both unlimited data at full speed with no speed cap: 2 weeks at $21.99 and 30 days at $40.99. One payment, nothing renews. The eSIM arrives by email in seconds and installs in one scan, no app.

The card to buy it is further up this page, just after the side-by-side table.

10 · Frequently asked questions

Which eSIM is cheapest for Bangladesh?+
For two weeks or a month of unlimited data, Ringo Light: $21.99 for 2 weeks and $40.99 for 30 days on 28 September 2026, against $50 for 15 days and $73.50 for 30 days at Airalo. For 3 days, Airalo at $11.50. For a 10 GB bucket, Airalo at $17.50; for 20 GB, Nomad at $25.
Which Bangladeshi network will my travel eSIM use?+
Airalo and Holafly ride Grameenphone, the largest network in the country. Nomad and Ubigi ride Banglalink. Saily does not name its network. Both networks cover Dhaka and the other big cities well; Grameenphone reaches further into the countryside.
Is an unlimited eSIM really unlimited in Bangladesh?+
Every brand has a limit somewhere. Airalo slows you to 1 Mbps after 3 GB a day, Ubigi to 2 Mbps after 5 GB a day, and Saily's Asia plan slows you after 5 GB a day. Holafly states no daily cap for your own phone. Ringo Light is unlimited data at full speed.
Can I buy a local SIM at Dhaka airport instead?+
Yes. Operator counters in the arrivals hall sell local SIMs, and they are cheap. You need your passport, and the SIM is registered to you with a fingerprint scan, which can mean a queue after a long flight. An eSIM installs before you land and works as soon as the plane does.

11 · How we compared, and our sources

We priced Airalo, Holafly, Saily, Nomad, Ubigi and Ringo Light for Bangladesh on 28 September 2026, all on the same day, in US dollars. Each rival's price comes from its own website where it showed dollars, otherwise from an esimdb.com listing, and every source and its date is listed below. Ringo Light's prices come from the catalogue our checkout charges.

We compare the trips people actually book: a week, two weeks and a month of unlimited data, and a 10 GB bucket. We read each brand's fair use and speed rules and quote them as the brands state them. We did not run speed tests, so this page makes no speed claims for any brand.

Ringo Light is our own product. We put it in the table on the same terms as everyone else, and where a rival is the better buy the page says so.

Left out: Maya Mobile. We could not read its own prices for this country on the day, so it stays out rather than being guessed.
