Drop the 0. Mobiles keep 10 digits, landlines keep their code.
In Bangladesh every number begins with 0, like 01712 or 02; skip that 0 once you have dialled +880. Mobiles start 01 and have 10 digits left. Landlines start with a district code: 2 for Dhaka, 821 for Sylhet, 31 for Chattogram.

Calling Bangladesh: your questions
Reviewed 29 October 2026.
What is the country code for Bangladesh?
Bangladesh's country code is +880. The 0 at the front of a local number is left out: 01712 345678 becomes +880 1712 345678, and the Dhaka number 02 5512 3456 becomes +880 2 5512 3456.
How do I call Bangladesh from the UK?
From a UK landline the prefix is 00 880, then the number minus its leading 0, so 01712 345678 becomes 00 880 1712 345678. A mobile or SIP app lets you type +880 instead. Dhaka is 6 hours ahead of London in winter and 5 in British summer.
How do I call Bangladesh from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, the USA or Italy?
Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Italy use 00 880; the USA and Canada use 011 880. Either way the Bangladeshi number loses its first 0, and +880 does the job from any phone or SIP app. Dhaka is 3 hours ahead of Riyadh and 2 ahead of Dubai.
How do I call a Bangladeshi mobile?
Bangladeshi mobiles have 11 digits and start 013 to 019. Type +880, leave out the 0 and key the ten digits after it. Numbers can move between networks, so 017 or 019 is only a hint of the operator.
Do I need a Bangladesh calling card?
No. From the UK you dial 00 880 1712 345678 for a mobile, or +880 from a SIP app. No card number, no PIN. Each call costs $0.0074 a minute, measured by the second, and nothing to connect. The checker above shows how many minutes your card really gives.
What is the area code for Sylhet?
Sylhet is 0821, dialled as 821 after +880. Dhaka is 02, Chattogram 031, Khulna 041 and Rajshahi 0721. Landline number lengths differ by district, so dial all the digits you were given after the code.
What time is it in Bangladesh?
Bangladesh keeps UTC+6 all year and never changes its clocks, so Dhaka is 6 hours ahead of London in winter and 5 in summer, 3 ahead of Saudi Arabia, 2 ahead of the UAE and 10 or 11 ahead of New York.
How much does it cost to call Bangladesh?
$0.0074 a minute to every mobile and landline in Bangladesh, measured by the second and free to connect. An hour with Ammu in Sylhet is $0.44, and $20 buys 2,702 minutes.
Can I call a 096 number in Bangladesh?
Yes. 096 numbers are IP telephony lines used by many companies and banks, and they are dialled like any other: +880 and the number without its 0. 0800 toll-free numbers are meant for callers inside Bangladesh and usually do not work from abroad.
Can I call Bangladesh from my office phone system?
Yes. Add LinkedSIP as a trunk on 3CX, FreePBX, Asterisk or another SIP system and route +880 through it. Calls are billed by the second from a prepaid balance.
Every Bangladeshi phone, one rate. 2,702 minutes for $20.
