The country calling code of Bangladesh is +880.[1]

The dial plan type in Bangladesh is closed, and "0" is the Trunk prefix.

When dialling a Bangladesh number from inside Bangladesh, the format is:
"0 – Area/operator code (X) – subscriber number (N)"

When dialling a Bangladesh number from outside Bangladesh, the format is:
"+880 – Area/operator code (X) – subscriber number (N)"

The subscriber number is the number unique to each individual telephone/mobile following the area/operator code. The Area/operator codes in Bangladesh are listed below, with a typical number format, where "X" denotes the Area/Operator code and "N" denotes the individual subscriber's telephone/mobile number.
