05 · OTP delivery

What OTP delivery looks like in Bangladesh.

Latency profile, peak-hour behaviour, recommended fallback chain, and the fraud signals our firewall watches in-market.

Typical latency window

Median 3.3 s with a 95th-percentile inside 8 seconds across operator-direct binds. Two-shot delivery confirmed by DLR.

Peak-hour behaviour

Operator throughput holds steady through local business peaks; throttling kicks in only during outlier mass-send events. BroadNet load-shapes per-MNO to avoid firewall blocks.

Fallback chain

Recommended fallback: WhatsApp OTP → Voice OTP after 30s. Flash-call OTP is an option in markets where the carrier permits it.

Fraud signals we watch

Flash-call abuse, SIM-farm OTP harvesting, and template variance attacks are the dominant signals. BroadNet's anomaly engine watches per-MSISDN velocity.

06 · Marketing SMS rules

What you can — and can't — send.

Opt-in, opt-out, quiet hours, content restrictions, and the penalty regime for the Bangladesh market.

Opt-in

Verifiable opt-in required, with traffic categorised by use case at the time of registration. DLT-style template approval applies in several markets.

Opt-out

STOP keyword and DND-registry suppression applied automatically. Records retained per regulator requirements.

Quiet hours

We have not found a regulator-published time-of-day window for promotional SMS in this market. Agree sending hours with the operator and schedule promotional sends for the recipient's local daytime; transactional traffic runs 24/7.

Content restrictions

Local-language templates preferred. Loan, gambling, crypto, and supplements blocked at the operator firewall.

Regulator penalties

BTRC penalties for off-template, off-category, or grey-route traffic — fines, sender-ID delisting, and template re-registration required.

07 · Local operators

Termination,
network by network.

The route status column shows how each operator is reached — a direct BroadNet bind or a labelled partner route. No grey-route exposure. Route grades are indicative planning guides, not live measurements.

Operator	MCC-MNC	Route status	Grade	A2P rate (typ.)
Grameenphone	470-01	Direct	A+	USD 0.0027
Robi Axiata	470-02	Direct	A+	USD 0.0029
Banglalink	470-03	Direct	A	USD 0.003
Teletalk	470-04	Direct	A	USD 0.003

Rates shown are typical pay-as-you-go for transactional traffic. Promotional traffic is priced separately, and volume tiers reduce both. See the rate-card section below for the full ladder.

11 · FAQ

Buyer questions about Bangladesh.

The questions BroadNet's sales engineers field every week from teams shipping into this market.

What's the typical sender-ID approval time with BTRC in Bangladesh?

Typical lead time: 5-10 business days. BroadNet confirms the current sender-ID requirements and documents during onboarding.

Are BroadNet's routes to Bangladesh operator-direct?

Yes — every operator on the public coverage table is a direct A2P bind. No aggregator hops, no grey-route exposure. Route grades are indicative planning guides, not live measurements.

Can I send marketing SMS in Bangladesh without prior consent?

No. Verifiable opt-in is required across every market BroadNet supports, with the consent source, timestamp, and channel logged. Transactional OTP and account-level alerts are exempt from marketing-consent rules.

Which channels do you support for Bangladesh — SMS only, or also WhatsApp and Voice?

SMS, OTP, WhatsApp Business, and Voice OTP are all supported. RCS Business Messaging is available where the local operator has launched it. All channels run on the same contract and contact model.

Can I be billed in a currency other than USD?

Yes — billing is available in USD. Volume tiers apply automatically from 100K messages a month.

Do I need a local-language version of my templates for Bangladesh?

For consumer-facing transactional and marketing traffic, yes — a local-script template materially improves trust and recall. BroadNet handles UCS-2 routing without a price or SLA penalty.

What happens if a route to Bangladesh degrades?

BroadNet runs continuous DLR monitoring on every operator. If a route flaps, traffic is automatically re-shaped to the next-best operator on the same destination, and your account manager is notified with a remediation note within the hour.

Do you sign an SLA for traffic to Bangladesh?

Yes — traffic to this market runs under BroadNet's standard SLA: 99.99% monthly platform uptime, with service credits on enterprise contracts. Support response targets and the credit schedule are published on our Support & SLA page.
