Our Testing in Bangladesh
Our Bangladesh assessment evaluated 5 eSIM providers across 1 carrier network. Grameenphone handles 4G LTE routing for all providers in this market. We compared 6 plans ranging from $3.49 to $24.99. Speed data indicates 15 Mbps average download.
Grameenphone is the sole eSIM-accepting carrier in Bangladesh. All five providers route through this single network, which means coverage depends entirely on Grameenphone's infrastructure.
The pricing ladder spans from 1GB at $3.49 ($3.49/GB) to 20GB at $24.99 ($1.25/GB). Best per-GB value sits at 20GB for $24.99 ($1.25/GB), our recommended tier for most Bangladesh travelers. Holafly adds an unlimited daily option at $3.49/day, which suits heavy data users on trips of 5+ days. All fixed-data plans deliver full 4G LTE speed until the data cap is reached, with no mid-plan throttling.
Grameenphone's 4G LTE coverage spans Bangladesh's main population centers and tourist corridors. Rural coverage depends on Grameenphone's tower density in less populated areas.
The Bangladesh rankings put HelloRoam at 9.5/10, ahead of Airalo at 9.3/10. These scores reflect Bangladesh-specific conditions: Grameenphone routing, 6 available plans, and 4G LTE as the network standard. Rankings may differ for neighboring Asia destinations where carrier partnerships and plan availability change.
What We Tested
We ranked 6 eSIM plans from 5 providers for Bangladesh across five dimensions: Coverage (25%), Pricing (25%), Speed (20%), App Quality (15%), Support (15%). Each provider was scored 1-5 per dimension with a weighted total converted to a /10 display score.
How We Scored
Scores for Bangladesh use our standard weighted formula: Coverage (25%), Pricing (25%), Speed (20%), App quality (15%), and Support (15%). Each dimension receives a raw score from 1 to 5. The composite multiplies by 2 for a 0-10 display scale. Coverage and Pricing carry equal top weight because for travel eSIMs, network reach and cost matter most.
Country-specific adjustments for Bangladesh: Single-carrier markets like Bangladesh receive a ceiling of 4.0/5 on Coverage, since no failover redundancy exists. Unlimited plan availability in Bangladesh adjusts the Pricing dimension to weight per-day unlimited rates alongside per-GB fixed rates. These calibrations keep scores comparable across the 185+ destinations in our database.
The scoring spread across 5 providers for Bangladesh is 1.5 points (HelloRoam at 9.5/10 down to Nomad at 8.0/10). A spread under 1.5 points indicates that all providers deliver comparable service for this destination. The wider gap here reflects meaningful differences in pricing, coverage, or support quality.
