Arriving at Dhaka or another airport and queuing for a physical SIM wastes time; Nexa eSIM lets you buy and pre-activate in minutes so your phone can connect as soon as you land.

- Pre-activation option to start the plan on arrival or immediately.
- Top-up and upgrade options available in your account.

Internet experience in Bangladesh compared
Local networks in Bangladesh are well established in cities. Major operators such as Grameenphone and Robi operate widely; Nexa eSIM connects via local partner networks which may include major operators depending on plan and availability (we do not guarantee specific carrier partners). Expect good 4G availability in urban areas and variable coverage in rural or remote districts.
MB-per-activity worked examples (practical)
| Activity | Estimate per use | 5-day light plan (example) |
|---|---|---|
| Maps navigation (cached + occasional routing) | ~2–5 MB per 10 mins | 30–50 MB total |
| WhatsApp text & light photo sharing | ~1–3 MB per 10 msgs | 50–100 MB total |
| Email (text only) | ~0.5–2 MB per sync | 10–30 MB total |
| Social browsing (images) | ~5–20 MB per 10 mins | 200–300 MB total |
| Streaming video (not recommended on 1 GB) | ~50–200 MB per 10 mins | Not suitable |
Practical takeaway: 1 GB is suited to navigation, messaging and light email; avoid video streaming and heavy social media if you need the data to last 5 days.

Practical setup, arrival and mistake‑prevention guidance
Device compatibility
- Check your phone supports eSIM and is unlocked. Use NexaEsim's device checker in your account before purchase.
- iPhone: ensure eSIM / dual SIM support is enabled in Settings; update to the latest iOS if possible.
- Android: newer Pixels and Samsung Galaxy models support eSIM; check your OEM guides if unsure.
Activation flows — quick steps
- Pre-activate with QR: Scan the eSIM QR from the confirmation email, follow on-screen prompts and name the profile.
- Manual install: Use the manual activation code in the account if QR scanning is not possible.
- Start-on-arrival: If you chose this, enable the profile and toggle cellular data when you land.
60-second arrival checklist
- If pre-activated: turn off airplane mode and confirm mobile data is on for the Nexa profile.
- If start-on-arrival: enable the profile, select it for data, then test Google Maps or WhatsApp.
- Have airport Wi‑Fi details or a backup local SIM option if activation delays occur.
Top-up & extending data mid‑trip
If you exhaust 1 GB, purchase a top-up or upgrade from your Nexa account. Top-ups typically provision quickly and you'll receive confirmation in the app and email. If you need support, the account area links to chat/support and invoice actions.
Hotspot, tethering & fair‑use
Hotspot/tethering may be subject to fair-use limits, especially on small plans. For a 1 GB plan, avoid tethering multiple devices and prefer single-device use for maps or messaging to preserve your data.
How to get an invoiceable receipt
After purchase, download an invoice from your Nexa account dashboard (order history → download invoice). Typical invoice fields include order ID, purchaser name, purchase date and plan details — keep this for expense claims. For more on receipts and corporate use, see the Nexa account area after login.
Troubleshooting quick fixes (immediately after activation)
- No service after activation: confirm the eSIM profile is installed and set as the data line, toggle airplane mode, restart the phone.
- Check mobile data is enabled for the new profile and that data roaming is allowed if required.
- If still not working: try manual network selection or check APN settings; then contact support with your order ID and screenshots.

Make 1 GB last — daily plan & data-saving tips
- Cache maps offline before travel and download critical content on Wi‑Fi.
- Use messaging apps in text mode and avoid auto-play video in social feeds.
- Disable background app refresh and set apps to Wi‑Fi only for media sync.
