Calling abroad from Bangladesh: the practical view
Bangladesh sends more workers abroad each year than almost any country its size, and the phone bill is part of that economy. Dhaka, Chattogram and the rural districts of Sylhet, Comilla and Noakhali keep up daily contact with sons, brothers and uncles in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Malaysia, Oman and Singapore. There's also a long-standing British Bangladeshi community concentrated in east London — Tower Hamlets in particular — whose families back home call into Whitechapel and Brick Lane addresses. The friction has always been the per-minute rate after a Grameenphone or Robi IDD bundle runs out, and the awkwardness of topping up the right bundle for the right destination.
Phonecall replaces that with a single balance that works for every country. Open the app in a browser, type the number in international format, and the call goes out over your data connection. The price for each destination is published per second, so a four-minute check-in to a worker in Riyadh costs four minutes — not the rounded-up five your operator might charge. There's nothing to install on the receiving end either, which matters when the person you're calling is on a basic handset in a labour camp.
Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Malaysia together account for the bulk of outbound minutes from Bangladesh; the UK is a smaller but very loyal fourth. Bangladesh's exit code is 00, so a UK number dialled from a local handset begins 0044. The +880 country code is what you give to relatives abroad to call you back in Dhaka or Sylhet.
What affects the cost of international calls from Bangladesh?
The cost per minute depends on the destination country, whether you call a mobile or landline, and carrier routing. Mobile and landline rates often differ. With Phonecall you see the exact per-minute rate before you call — no hidden markups. Select the country and number type and we show the current rate.

Frequently asked questions
How can I call my husband in Saudi Arabia from Dhaka cheaply?
Grameenphone, Robi, Banglalink and Teletalk all sell IDD minute packs to Saudi Arabia, but the cost per minute outside the pack is high and the packs only cover that one destination. A browser-based service like Phonecall lets you call any Saudi number from your laptop or phone at a per-second rate that's shown before the call connects, using your home Wi-Fi or your mobile data. If your husband's number is a mobile on STC, Mobily or Zain, just type it with +966 in front and dial — he picks up on his normal phone, no app needed. The credit you load doesn't expire, so you can use the same balance for a call to Malaysia next week.
Do I need a new phone or SIM to use Phonecall in Bangladesh?
No. Phonecall works in any modern web browser on the device you already own — a smartphone, an older Android, a laptop, even a desktop PC at an office. The call is placed over the internet connection your device is using, not over the GSM voice network, so it doesn't matter whether your SIM is a Grameenphone postpaid, a Robi prepaid or no SIM at all. You sign in with an email, microphone access is requested once, and you're ready to dial. There's no app store download, no APK, and no settings to change on your existing mobile plan.
Are there peak/off-peak rates when calling from Bangladesh?
No. The rate is the same 24/7 with no time-of-day surcharges.
Can I call landline numbers from Bangladesh?
Yes. You can call both mobile and landline numbers. Rates are shown separately.

Phonecall is browser-based – no app to install. Transparent pricing, pay-as-you-go, no subscriptions or hidden fees.
Is my call from Bangladesh private?
