How numbers in Bangladesh are built
A number in Bangladesh is the country code +880 followed by a national number of 6–10 digits. The trunk prefix, where there is one, is dropped after the code.
Written locally as 01812-345678, an example mobile number in Bangladesh is dialed as +880 1812 345678 from abroad.
Leave out the leading 0 when you dial it with the country code.
Why a call to Bangladesh fails to connect
- Keeping the leading 0: after +880 it is one digit too many, and the network rejects the call.
- Leaving out 00 (or +): without it your carrier reads 880 as the start of a number in the United Kingdom, not as a country code.
- A wrong number of digits: a number in Bangladesh has 6–10 digits after +880.
Best time to call
Bangladesh is 6 h ahead of the United Kingdom. When it is 12:00 in the United Kingdom, it is 18:00 in Bangladesh.
That gap moves between 5 h and 6 h during the year, because one of the two countries changes its clocks for daylight saving.
The United Kingdom changes its clocks for daylight saving, so its offset moves between UTC and UTC+1 during the year.
The United Kingdom moves its clocks on March 29 and October 25.
Bangladesh does not change its clocks for daylight saving, so the offset stays UTC+6 all year.
The weekend in Bangladesh is Saturday and Sunday.

|---|---|---|
| Waking hours, 08:00–21:00 in both | 08:00–15:00 | 14:00–21:00 |
| Business hours, 09:00–18:00 in both | 09:00–12:00 | 15:00–18:00 |
When it is 09:00 in the United Kingdom, it is 15:00 in Bangladesh.
When it is 09:00 in Bangladesh, it is 03:00 in the United Kingdom.
