SMS API for Bangladesh: bulk SMS to +880 numbers

Bangladesh, in South Asia, has a rapidly growing economy centered on textiles, agriculture, and mobile financial services. Mobile banking platforms, e-commerce sites, and garment factories use SMS for transactions and alerts. Messages trigger for payment confirmations, delivery updates, and factory shift changes. SMS dominates here as it reaches all mobile users, from Dhaka offices to rural farms, without internet dependency.

Number format in Bangladesh

Mobile numbers in Bangladesh have 10 digits after +880. Locally they are written with a leading 0 (01812-345678); in the API that 0 is dropped, so the same number goes in the to field as +880 1812 345678.

Alphabet and segments

Text in Bengali is always Unicode, so a message to Bangladesh written in Bengali carries 70 characters in one segment and 67 in each part of a longer one. Codes and alerts written in English or plain Latin letters fit 160 characters, which halves the cost of a long notice.

Time zone and timing

Bangladesh keeps UTC+6 all year with no clock change, so 09:00 in Dhaka is always 03:00 UTC. send_at takes UTC or any ISO 8601 offset, and the console scheduler converts from your own time zone.

Send to Bangladesh with one request

The answer comes back at once with the message id, the country the number was matched to (BD) and the price. A delivered or failed event follows on your webhook, and a failed message is refunded.

For a list, send the same text to up to 10,000 numbers with POST /v1/batches, or a personal text per number in messages.

How many SMS to Bangladesh does a $100 top-up send?

$100 covers about 4,154 one-segment messages to Bangladesh at $0.02407 each. The first top-up adds a bonus on top, which raises that number. The balance is shared by every country, so the same top-up also pays for messages anywhere else on the list.

Bangla reaches the widest audience, with English used for business and educated urban users.

Are there times to avoid SMS campaigns?
