An honest, up-to-date comparison of UK-to-Bangladesh calling rates, from Sylhet to Dhaka. We list the real, all-in cost - including the hidden access charges and subscription lock-ins that make some "cheaper" rates more expensive than they look.
All rates per minute, inclusive of VAT where the provider charges consumers VAT. "All-in" means the price you pay with no separate access charge added by your own phone company.
| Provider | Landline | Mobile | Caller ID | All-in? | The catch |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CallBangladesh callbangladesh.com (TISA Home app) |
1.5p | 1.5p | 100% CLI | Yes | None - flat pay-as-you-go, no contract, no maintenance or connection fee |
| Boss Revolution | ~2.5p | ~2.5p | Varies | Yes | Dearer than CallBangladesh; bundle needs a monthly commitment |
| Lebara (UK) | ~3p | ~5p | Standard | Yes | Mobile dearer than landline; cheapest rates need a Lebara plan |
| Dial-around cards (0844/0871/09) | "from 1p" | "from 1p" | Usually none | No | Your phone company adds a 25-65p/min access charge on top, plus per-call connection fees |
| Vodafone / O2 / EE (UK networks) | ~£1.50 | ~£1.50 | Standard | Yes | Standard out-of-bundle international rate - very expensive |
Rates based on publicly available information as of June 2026 and may change. CallBangladesh is an app-based service (TISA Home) used alongside any UK SIM. Sources: providers' own rate pages (Lebara, Boss Revolution) and published dial-around access charges.
For a genuine pay-as-you-go call to Bangladesh with your Caller ID showing, CallBangladesh at a flat 1.5p/min inc. VAT is the cheapest honest option, undercutting Boss Revolution (~2.5p) and clearly beating Lebara (~3p landline / ~5p mobile on pay-as-you-go). The headline "from 1p" offers are dial-around numbers with large hidden access charges - not real pay-as-you-go rates.
If a service claims to beat 1.5p, check the small print for one of these:
CallBangladesh has none of these: 1.5p/min, all-in, inclusive of VAT, pay-as-you-go. The price you see is the price you pay.
The cheapest genuine pay-as-you-go rate is CallBangladesh (powered by the TISA Home app) at 1.5p per minute inclusive of VAT - one flat rate for landline and mobile, with 100% Caller ID relay and no access charge. By comparison Boss Revolution is around 2.5p, and Lebara is around 3p landline / 5p mobile on pay-as-you-go. Dial-around cards advertise lower headline rates but add a 25-65p per minute access charge.
Sylhet numbers are charged at the same flat Bangladesh rate: CallBangladesh calls any Sylhet landline (area code 0821) or Bangladeshi mobile for 1.5p per minute inclusive of VAT, with 100% Caller ID relay.
Yes - one flat 1.5p per minute inclusive of VAT to every Bangladesh number: Grameenphone, Robi, Banglalink and Teletalk mobiles and all landlines, with no difference between mobile and landline.
Yes. CallBangladesh uses 100% CLI (Caller Line Identification), so the person in Bangladesh sees your real UK number and can call you back. Many dial-around services and calling cards cannot relay your Caller ID.
