Bulk SMS Price in Bangladesh (2026): The Complete Guide
2026-06-03 · Alaponi
The first question most business owners ask is simple: what does bulk SMS cost in Bangladesh? The short answer — usually between 0.25 and 0.45 BDT per SMS — but the real number depends on a few things. Here's an honest breakdown so you can budget and avoid overpaying.
Typical bulk SMS rates
-
Non-masking SMS: ~0.25–0.30 BDT each (cheapest).
-
Masking / branded SMS: ~0.40–0.45 BDT each (carries your brand name).
-
OTP SMS: often a small premium for the high-priority route that delivers in seconds.
-
Voice broadcast: priced per connected call/second, separate from SMS.
What affects the price?
Volume — the more you send, the lower your per-SMS rate. Masking vs non-masking — branded SMS costs a little more. Route quality — cheap routes can mean poor delivery, and a "low" price that doesn't arrive is the most expensive SMS of all. Bangla (Unicode) — a Bangla SMS fits fewer characters per part (70 vs 160), so long Bangla messages may count as multiple SMS.
How to pay less (without losing quality)
Recharge in larger amounts to unlock lower slabs. Bundle SMS with your hosting/software provider for a package deal. Write tighter messages so each one counts as a single SMS. Clean your contact list — don't pay to message dead numbers.
A note on "cheapest"
The cheapest provider isn't always the best value. Reliable delivery, real reports and local support save you far more than a 0.02 BDT difference. Choose a provider you can trust — and verify delivery with real reports.
