Keep your Bangladeshi number active while you're abroad
Working in the Gulf, Malaysia or Singapore, or studying in the UK, the US or Europe? A small top-up keeps your Grameenphone, Robi, Banglalink and Teletalk prepaid line alive, so bKash and Nagad OTPs, bank codes and calls from home keep reaching you, and the SIM is not recycled while you are abroad.

Questions
Can I keep a Grameenphone number active for years?
Yes. Grameenphone's account validity packs give 3 years (997 Tk pack) or 5 years (1,498 Tk pack) of account validity. Keeping a small balance on the line before you fly, and topping up during a long trip, avoids losing the number.
Do I need the SIM in a phone?
No. The recharge lands on the line whether or not the SIM is in a phone. For OTPs and calls you do need it in a phone with roaming on, or in the second slot of your travel phone.
How fast is it?
About a minute from payment. You get an email receipt with the operator transaction ID.
Can I pay from India or the UK?
Yes. Pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay from anywhere, by UPI in rupees if you are in India, or from your bank in pounds if you are in the UK. Prices are shown in your currency.
Can you top up my number every month?
Set a reminder for the validity date, or keep a Slashtel Balance so the next recharge is one tap.
