Staff Reporter, Dhaka : For the first time, Bangladeshi Hajj pilgrims can enjoy international roaming services in Saudi Arabia using their Bangladeshi Taka balance without the need for foreign currency or credit cards.
Banglalink, the country’s innovative digital operator, has introduced its special Hajj Roaming offers to make connectivity simpler and more accessible.
In line with this breakthrough, Banglalink has launched a range of Hajj Roaming Packs designed to deliver maximum convenience and value for pilgrims. Customers can now activate these packs directly through the MyBL app under the dedicated Hajj Roaming section or via simple balance recharge for immediate service activation and hassle-free connectivity upon arrival in Saudi Arabia.
Banglalink’s Hajj Roaming Packs offer extensive coverage through its partnerships with leading Saudi Arabian networks — STC, Zain, and Etisalat.
Speaking about this initiative, Mehedi Al Amin, Marketing Operations Director of Banglalink, said, “Hajj is one of the most profound experiences of a lifetime. We understand how important it is for pilgrims to stay close to their loved ones during this time. By enabling roaming payments in Bangladeshi Taka and launching affordable, easy-to-access packages, we are reaffirming our commitment to putting our customers’ needs first and delivering solutions that truly matter in their lives.”
Pilgrims are advised to purchase their preferred roaming pack before their flight to ensure uninterrupted service from the moment they land in Saudi Arabia. Once purchased, roaming services will be activated immediately. Preferred networks are STC, Etisalat, and Zain for the best experience.
