How to Call Bangladesh from the US
Calling Bangladesh from the US is easy once you know the correct international dialing format – and there are even free and low-cost options available. Whether you’re calling a mobile or landline, you'll need to include the right country and area codes. And if you’re looking to save money, apps like WhatsApp or international calling services can make staying in touch more affordable than ever.
1. How to call Bangladesh from the USA (Step by Step)
To place a standard international call from the US to Bangladesh:
Dial:
011 – the US exit code
880 – the calling code for Bangladesh
X – the area/mobile code
XXXXXXX – the local phone number
Example: To call a Dhaka landline (area code 2) like 1234567, dial:
011-880-2-1234567
For Bangladeshi mobile numbers (starting with codes like 17, 18, or 19), it would look like:
011-880-17-XXXXXXX
2. Best apps to call Bangladesh
If you want to save money – or even make free voice or video calls – there are plenty of alternatives to traditional carriers. Here are some of the best apps to call Bangladesh:
- WhatsApp – Free voice/video calls over Wi-Fi or data
- Viber – Great quality and supports both calls and messages
- Google Voice – Offers affordable international rates
- Skype – Useful for landline calls or business numbers
Just make sure both parties have a good internet connection, and for app-to-app calls, that you're both using the same platform.
3. Tips for smooth calling
- Check time zones – Bangladesh is typically 11–13 hours ahead of US time zones
- Double-check the number format – No need to dial a leading ‘0’ from abroad
- Use Wi-Fi when possible – For app-based calls, it avoids mobile data charges
- Consider international calling plans – Some US carriers offer add-ons for calling Bangladesh at better rates
4. Staying in touch beyond phone calls

Die Feiertage mögen vorbei sein, aber die Feierlichkeiten gehen weiter – Wir haben nun die Preise gutgeschrieben für unsere Dezember-Gewinnspiele. Bei Paysend geht es bei Gewinnspielen nicht nur ums Gewinnen, sondern darum, die echten Menschen hinter jeder Überweisung und die Gründe, warum das Versenden von Geld wichtig ist, anzuerkennen.
Einer unserer Dezember-Gewinner teilte das mit uns:
„Ich bin derzeit in der Tschechischen Republik und dank Paysend kann ich meinen Eltern Geld senden, die in der Ukraine leben und es derzeit schwer haben, Geld zu verdienen.“
Geschichten wie diese erinnern uns daran, warum Paysend existiert. Hinter jeder Überweisung steckt jemand, der seine Familie über Grenzen hinweg unterstützt, oft in schwierigen Zeiten. Geld einfach, sicher und ohne unnötige Gebühren senden zu können, kann einen echten Unterschied machen.
