Wifi

The airport provides free Wi-Fi internet access to passengers throughout the terminal buildings. Passengers can easily connect to the airport’s Wi-Fi network by selecting a number of free wifi network from their device’s available Wi-Fi networks and following the on-screen instructions. However, almost all free wifi will require a local cell number, which can be problematic for people who just landed and do not have any local number.

Sim card

#

In addition to Wi-Fi access, there are several shops and kiosks at the airport where passengers can purchase SIM cards for their mobile phones. Grameenphone, Banglalink, and Robi are some of the popular mobile network operators in Bangladesh, and their SIM cards are widely available at the airport. You will find their outlet right after exiting the immigration.

Passengers can purchase a SIM card from any of the mobile network operator’s kiosks at the airport by presenting their passport and completing a registration process. The registration process typically involves providing personal information and a passport-sized photograph. Once the registration process is complete, passengers can purchase a pre-paid SIM card that includes calling minutes, texts, and data.

It is recommended that passengers purchase a local SIM card at the airport or elsewhere in Bangladesh, as international roaming charges can be quite expensive. Having a local SIM card will allow passengers to make local calls, access the internet, and use apps like Google Maps and Uber, making their stay in Bangladesh more convenient and enjoyable.
