Bangladesh's cheapest verified eSIM rate is $0.98 a gigabyte, and two of its plans charge nothing for the longer window
Airalo's 50 GB Bangladesh plan is $49, which works out at $0.98 a gigabyte. At 10 GB and 20 GB the 15-day and 30-day plans cost exactly the same. Eighteen prices, all read off the checkout on 17 August 2026.
One provider, eighteen prices, one date
Airalo is the only eSIM seller we hold prices for in Bangladesh. Eighteen plans, all eighteen verified — read off airalo.com on 17 August 2026, and that date is the point of this page. Saily, Holafly, Nomad, eSIMCard and eSIM Go all sell travel eSIMs and we have not priced any of them here yet, so you will not find them below with numbers attached. A page listing six providers for Bangladesh is working from data we do not have; ours says one.
Airalo's Bangladeshi plans are listed under the name Fatafati. That is Airalo's own retail product name, not a carrier. Airalo publishes no host network for Bangladesh — it publishes none for any country on earth — so which Bangladeshi operator your phone ends up attached to is not something we can tell you, and not something the listing says.
The metered ladder
| Data | Days | Price | Per GB |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 GB | 3 | $4 | $4 |
| 3 GB | 3 | $7.50 | $2.50 |
| 3 GB | 7 | $8 | $2.67 |
| 5 GB | 7 | $10 | $2 |
| 5 GB | 15 | $10.50 | $2.10 |
| 5 GB | 30 | $11 | $2.20 |
| 10 GB | 7 | $17 | $1.70 |
| 10 GB | 15 | $17.50 | $1.75 |
| 10 GB | 30 | $17.50 | $1.75 |
| 20 GB | 15 | $27.50 | $1.38 |
| 20 GB | 30 | $27.50 | $1.38 |
| 50 GB | 30 | $49 | $0.98 |
Twelve metered plans from 1 GB to 50 GB, plus six unlimited. The rate falls the whole way up, from $4.00 a gigabyte at the bottom to $0.98 at the top.
Two rows where the longer window is free
Look twice at 10 GB and 20 GB: each is the same price twice. 10 GB costs $17.50 whether you take the 15-day or the 30-day version, and 20 GB costs $27.50 either way. The shorter window is not a saving — it is identical money for less calendar.
At 10 GB and at 20 GB, take the 30 days. The only competing option is 10 GB over 7 days at $17.00, which saves fifty cents and costs twenty-three days of headroom — a bad trade if your return date has any give in it.
Below 10 GB, time does cost something, though not much. The same 5 GB is $10.00, $10.50 or $11.00 across 7, 15 and 30 days.
What a step up actually buys
- 5 GB to 10 GB, both over 7 days: $10.00 becomes $17.00. Five more gigabytes for $7, or $1.40 each, against $2.00 each below.
- 10 GB to 20 GB, both over 30 days: $17.50 becomes $27.50. Ten more gigabytes for a flat dollar each.
- 20 GB to 50 GB, both over 30 days: $27.50 becomes $49.00. Thirty more gigabytes for $21.50, about 72 cents each.
Every step buys its extra data more cheaply than the plan beneath it, which is why the top of the ladder sets the floor. Bangladesh reaches 50 GB, and that one row is the reason $0.98 exists here at all.
Unlimited is a weekend product
Six unlimited plans sit beside them, priced purely by duration: $11.50 for 3 days, $19.50 for 5, $27 for 7, $36.50 for 10, $50 for 15 and $73.50 for 30.
Only the shortest looks sensible. At $11.50, three days of unlimited data is four dollars more than 3 GB over the same three days — a fair price for a weekend spent not checking your usage. After that it turns ugly. Seven days of unlimited is $27, within fifty cents of 20 GB over a full month — and 20 GB is more than most people use in a week. Fifteen days of unlimited is $50, which is a dollar more than the 50 GB plan that runs for twice as long. That buys you only the right to exceed 50 GB inside a fortnight.
Which tier to buy
- Three or four days. 3 GB over 3 days at $7.50, or 5 GB over 7 days at $10.00 — two and a half dollars more for twice the window.
- A week. 10 GB over 7 days at $17.00, or the same 10 GB for 30 days at $17.50. Pay the fifty cents.
- Two weeks to a month. 20 GB over 30 days at $27.50. Ignore the 15-day version entirely; it is the same price.
- Heavy use, or a shared hotspot. 50 GB over 30 days at $49.00, the only plan we hold here under a dollar a gigabyte.
Where $0.98 sits across the site
Bangladesh has a good floor. The cheapest rate we hold anywhere is Thailand at $0.55 a gigabyte, with Austria at $0.58 and Belgium at $0.65 behind it. Against the 94 countries on this site, $0.98 sits comfortably in the cheaper half.
The reason is structural rather than Bangladeshi. Where the ladder stops at 10 GB — Kenya at $4.60, Fiji and Nigeria at $4.70 — the market is the dearest we hold anywhere. Countries that reach 50 GB cluster around a dollar. Bangladesh reaches 50 GB and floors at $0.98; so does Cambodia, at the identical $49 for the identical size, though Bangladesh is the cheaper of the two at every rung in between. Nepal and Laos stop at 20 GB and sit at $1.75 and $2.40 a gigabyte respectively.
The rule is not a law, though. Sri Lanka also stops at 20 GB and still reaches $0.90, which is lower than anything here. We hold only six rows for Sri Lanka against eighteen for Bangladesh, so that comparison is thinner than it looks, but the six we have are real.
What this page does not cover
We hold no local SIM information for Bangladesh: no counter prices, no shop or chain names, no registration requirements, no operator list. Nobody has researched it, and writing it anyway is the failure this site exists to correct.
If one of the other five sellers undercuts $0.98 a gigabyte here, we would not know it. How we test sets out why one verified provider beats six unverified ones. Our Airalo page covers the company across every market we hold, and the cheapest eSIM plans ranks Bangladesh's $0.98 against the rest.
Common questions
Which eSIM is cheapest in Bangladesh?
We can only answer for Airalo, the one provider whose Bangladeshi prices anyone here has read. Its lowest rate is the 50 GB plan over 30 days at $49, or $0.98 a gigabyte. Saily, Holafly, Nomad, eSIMCard and eSIM Go are not priced here yet, so we cannot say whether any of them goes lower.
Should I buy the 15-day or the 30-day plan?
The 30-day one, at 10 GB and at 20 GB, because it costs exactly the same. 10 GB is $17.50 for either window and 20 GB is $27.50 for either. The shorter plan gives you less calendar for identical money. Below 10 GB the longer window does cost more, but only about a dollar.
Which Bangladeshi network does an Airalo eSIM use?
We do not know, and Airalo does not publish it — not for Bangladesh and not for any other country. Fatafati, the name on the listing, is Airalo's own product label rather than an operator, so it tells you nothing about which network you will attach to or how good the coverage will be.
Is an unlimited plan worth buying in Bangladesh?
Only for a very short trip. The 3-day unlimited at $11.50 is four dollars more than 3 GB over the same three days, which is reasonable. Beyond that it stops making sense: 15 days of unlimited is $50, a dollar more than the 50 GB plan that lasts 30 days, so you would be paying extra for half the calendar.
