What is the Bangladesh country code?
Everything you need to dial a Bangladesh number correctly from a UK phone.
+880
The Bangladesh country code is +880. Dialling from the UK? Use 00880 instead of the + — they do exactly the same thing.
How to dial a Bangladesh number from the UK
Dial 00880 + area code + local number for landlines, dropping the leading zero. For mobiles, dial 00880 + the 10-digit number (starting 01).
Example: Dhaka landline: 00880 2 + 8-digit number. Mobile: 00880 1 + 9 remaining digits.
00 or +? Either works
Typing +880 (hold the 0 key on most phone keypads to get a +) is the international standard and works automatically wherever you're calling from. 00880 is the UK's own way of dialling out internationally — both reach exactly the same number.

What is the Bangladesh country code?
The Bangladesh country code is +880. When dialling from a UK phone, replace the + with 00880 instead.
Do I dial 00 or + to call Bangladesh from the UK?
Either works on most modern phones — typing "+" (hold 0 on most keypads) and the country code is the international standard and works automatically. The 00 prefix is the UK-specific way of dialling out internationally and does exactly the same thing.
Does this work for mobiles as well as landlines?
Dial 00880 + area code + local number for landlines, dropping the leading zero. For mobiles, dial 00880 + the 10-digit number (starting 01).
Is there a free way to call Bangladesh that doesn't need a dialling code at all?
Yes — WhatsApp, FaceTime and similar apps call over data instead of the phone network, so there's no country code to dial at all. They're free if the person you're calling also has internet, but aren't a substitute for reaching a landline or someone without a smartphone.
