What is the country code for Bangladesh?
Bangladesh's country code is +880 — the three digits that carry a remittance economy's worth of calls home each day. Place it after your local exit code and you'll reach any landline or mobile in the country, from a Dhaka office to a village line in Sylhet.
Kanuni +880 alipewa Bangladesh na ITU chini ya mpango wa E.164. The “+” ina maana "piga msimbo wako wa kuondoka wa kimataifa"; kwenye simu, bonyeza na ushikilie 0 kuichapa.
Zote nne zinamaanisha kitu kimoja - zinaunganisha simu yako Bangladesh.
How to call Bangladesh from anywhere
Whether you're calling from a Riyadh worksite or a London flat, the recipe is identical: your exit code, then 880, then the area code or 01x mobile prefix with its leading 0 removed, then the rest of the number.

Bangladesh phone number format explained

Bangladesh mobile network prefixes
The prefix after +880 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.
Grameenphone (GP)
prefixes 017 and 013. The largest operator.
Robi Axiata
prefix 018.
Banglalink
prefixes 019 and 014.
Airtel
prefix 016 (operated by Robi Axiata).
Teletalk
prefix 015 (state-owned).
Bangladesh time zone
Bangladesh keeps one clock nationwide — Bangladesh Standard Time (BST), UTC+6, with no daylight saving. For the diaspora, the gaps are worth memorising: it sits 5 hours ahead of the UK, around 3 ahead of the Gulf, and a half-day or so ahead of North America, so a "good morning" home is often someone else's late night.
** For a Bangladesh business day (10:00–18:00 BST), the UK morning (04:00–12:00 GMT) lands cleanly, and the Gulf — where so many callers are based — overlaps comfortably through its afternoon. From the US East Coast, aim for late evening or early morning.

Common mistakes when calling Bangladesh
Takriban kila simu ya kimataifa iliyoshindwa ni suala la uumbizaji, si suala la mtandao.
Dialing the operator prefix as 017 from abroad
the leading 0 is domestic only. Internationally it's +880 17, never +880 017 (same goes for area codes).
Miscounting the mobile
national mobiles are 11 digits (01X + 8); internationally that becomes +880 1X + 8 digits.
Mixing up area codes
Dhaka is 2, Chattogram is 31; a wrong city code sends the call nowhere.
Trusting the prefix to name the operator
since MNP went live in 2018, a 017 number may no longer be Grameenphone.
Reaching for 911 or 112
Bangladesh's national emergency line is **999**.
Tips to reduce the cost of calling Bangladesh
**Hold a virtual Bangladesh DID** so customers and family reach you at local rates.
**Route over VoIP/SIP** to cut the per-minute cost of high-volume homeward calling.
Call inside the overlap windows
the UK morning or Gulf afternoon — to dodge premium tariffs.
**Consolidate inbound** onto one Bangladesh number with cloud routing instead of juggling many international lines.
Why businesses get a Bangladesh virtual number
From remittance services to garment exporters to call centres serving the diaspora, business across Bangladesh runs on trust — and a local +880 line earns it while your team works from anywhere.
** Viwango vya juu vya majibu **

Bangladesh +880 — FAQ
What does a Bangladeshi mobile prefix tell me — 017, 018, 019?expand_more
Originally the network: 017/013 Grameenphone, 018/016 Robi/Airtel, 019/014 Banglalink, 015 Teletalk. But MNP (live since 2018) means a number may have moved to a different operator.
How do I call a Bangladesh mobile from the US or Gulf?expand_more
Dial your exit code (011 from the US, 00 from the Gulf), then 880, then the mobile without its leading 0 — e.g. 011 880 17 1234 5678.
Why do I drop the 0 from 017?expand_more
That leading 0 is a domestic trunk prefix. Internationally it becomes +880 17, never +880 017 — and the same rule applies to landline area codes.
How many digits is a Bangladesh mobile?expand_more
Eleven at home (01X + 8 digits); internationally that's +880 1X + 8.
What's the time difference for calling home from the UK or the Gulf?expand_more
Dhaka is UTC+6 — about 5 hours ahead of the UK and roughly 3 ahead of the Gulf, with no daylight saving to track.
What's the emergency number in Bangladesh?expand_more
999, the national line for police, fire and ambulance — not 911 or 112.
What are the main city area codes?expand_more
Dhaka 2, Chattogram 31, Khulna 41, Sylhet 821, Rajshahi 721.
