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

If you’re calling Bangladesh to check in with family or support loved ones, don’t forget that sending money can be just as simple as making a call. With services like Paysend, you can transfer money directly to bank accounts or mobile wallets in Bangladesh – quickly, securely, and often for lower fees than traditional banks.

Quick recap

To call Bangladesh from the US, dial 011 + 880 + area/mobile code + local number. You can use your mobile, landline, or one of the many free and low-cost calling apps available. And if you’re supporting family or friends in Bangladesh, digital money transfer options make it easy to stay connected in every way that matters.
