Verdict

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.

Watch out for these "cheaper than 1.5p" tricks

If a service claims to beat 1.5p, check the small print for one of these:

Long-term subscriptions. The low rate is only for customers tied into a 12-month contract or a paid monthly bundle - not a true pay-as-you-go price.
Hidden access charges. Dial-around 0844 / 0871 / 09 access numbers add a separate access charge of typically 25-65p per minute, billed by your own phone company on top of the advertised rate.
Maintenance & service charges. Weekly fees, per-call service charges, connection fees and account maintenance charges that quietly erode your credit.
Short expiry & rounding. Credit that expires in days and per-minute rounding that inflates the real cost of every call.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cheapest way to call Bangladesh from the UK in 2026?

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.

What is the cheapest way to call Sylhet from the UK?

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.

Does CallBangladesh charge the same for landlines and mobiles?

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.

Will my UK number show when I call Bangladesh?

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.
