Sylhet has 4G in the city and the main tea garden zones. The Lawachara National Park near Srimangal has coverage at the visitor area. The Sundarbans mangrove forest is extremely remote.

River ferries on the major routes between Dhaka and southern cities generally maintain coverage along the river banks.

Bangladesh eSIM vs Local SIM vs Carrier Billing
For Aussie travellers, a HelloRoam eSIM is generally the most cost-effective way to get data abroad compared to local SIM cards or Australian carrier roaming add-ons.
| Category | HelloRoam eSIM from A$4.95 Recommended | Bangladesh local SIM card: 100 to 500 BDT ($1 to $5 AUD) | Telco roaming (Optus) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | From A$4.95 total | A$1.42–A$7.10 total | $5–$10/day |
| Details | Buy before you leave. Activate instantly on arrival in Dhaka. No local ID or registration required. Plans from A$4.95. Full prepaid data with no daily charges. | Local SIMs are very inexpensive but require a National ID (NID) for registration. Foreign visitors cannot register easily with a local SIM without a passport-verified process. Physical card needs a SIM slot. | Daily carrier billing is high relative to local data prices. A week in Dhaka can run up a big carrier bill. Speed throttling often applies after a daily cap. |

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
