Bangladesh’s only state-owned mobile network operator, Teletalk, holds a unique position in the country’s telecom market. Backed by the government, it powers the Bornomala and Agami student SIM programmes, serves rural areas private operators skip, and now supports eSIM. This guide covers the correct Teletalk APN settings for Android and iPhone, all USSD codes, the auto-configure SMS method, troubleshooting fixes, and current internet packages — everything you need for a working Teletalk internet connection.
Teletalk APN Settings — All Devices
The Teletalk APN is the same for Android and iPhone. Enter these values exactly:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Teletalk Internet |
| APN | internet.teletalk.com.bd |
| Proxy | Not set |
| Port | Not set |
| Username | Not set |
| Password | Not set |
| Server | Not set |
| MMSC | Not set |
| MMS Proxy | Not set |
| MMS Port | Not set |
| MCC | 470 |
| MNC | 01 |
| Authentication Type | None |
| APN Type | default,supl |
| APN Protocol | IPv4/IPv6 |
| APN Roaming Protocol | IPv4 |
| Bearer | Unspecified |
Easiest Method — Auto-Configure via SMS
Before entering settings manually, try the automatic method first. It works on all Android phones and feature phones and takes under a minute.
- Open your messages app
- Type SET and send to 738
- You will receive a configuration SMS from Teletalk
- Open the message and tap Install or Save
- Enter password 1234 if prompted
- Restart your phone
If the SMS does not arrive within five minutes, dial 121 and ask customer care to push the settings to your number manually. This is the recommended starting point for all non-technical users.
Teletalk APN Settings for Android
The steps are the same across all Android brands — Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, Realme, Infinix, and others. Menu names may differ slightly between manufacturers.
- Go to Settings → Connections → Mobile Networks → Access Point Names
- Tap the + button to add a new APN
- Enter the values from the APN table above exactly as shown
- Tap Save (on some phones: tap the three-dot menu → Save)
- Tap the radio button next to the new APN to set it as active
- Restart your phone
Samsung: Settings → Connections → Mobile networks → Access Point Names. Xiaomi / MIUI: Settings → SIM cards & mobile networks → Access Point Names. Oppo / Realme: Settings → Mobile Network → Access Point Names. If you cannot find the APN menu, search “APN” in your Settings search bar. After saving, if your Android screen or display behaves unusually, a full restart will reset the connection cleanly.
Teletalk APN Settings for iPhone
On most iPhones, Teletalk configures automatically when you insert the SIM. If internet is not working after inserting the SIM, follow these steps:
- Go to Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data Network
- Under Cellular Data, enter APN: internet.teletalk.com.bd
- Leave Username and Password blank
- If available, enter the same APN under LTE Setup (Optional)
- Exit Settings and toggle Airplane Mode on, then off
On newer iPhone models running iOS 16 or later, the Cellular Data Network option may not appear if the carrier profile is locked. In that case, send SET to 738 from a different phone on the same number, or call 121 to request a carrier profile update. For MMS configuration on iPhone, see the MMS settings section below.
Teletalk MMS Settings
MMS is only needed for sending photos and videos via SMS. Most users do not need this. If you do, enter these values in a separate MMS APN profile:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | Teletalk MMS |
| APN | mms.teletalk.com.bd |
| MMSC | http://10.5.4.22:38090/was |
| MMS Proxy | 10.5.4.40 |
| MMS Port | 8080 |
| MCC | 470 |
| MNC | 01 |
| APN Type | mms |
| APN Protocol | IPv4 |

Teletalk Internet Packages
Teletalk offers daily, weekly, and monthly data plans for all prepaid and postpaid customers. Dial *111# to see the current list of available packages and their prices, since offers change regularly. Three packages now carry unlimited validity — the data remains active until the full volume is consumed, with no expiry date. This is particularly useful for students on the Bornomala and Agami SIM programmes.
For Sagotom SIM holders, type SAG and send to 112 to migrate and access the dedicated Sagotom package list. The MyTeletalk app also shows all current packages with one-tap activation. Teletalk recently launched eSIM support, meaning compatible devices can activate a Teletalk connection without a physical SIM card — contact 121 or visit a Teletalk service centre for eSIM provisioning.
Common Problems and Fixes
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| No internet after setting APN | Restart phone. Make sure the new APN is selected as active by tapping the radio button next to it. |
| APN field greyed out on Android | Remove the SIM, reinsert it, then try again. Some devices require a carrier unlock before the APN field becomes editable. |
| Internet very slow | Check data balance via *152#. You may have run out. Toggle Airplane Mode on and off to force a network reconnect. |
| Data plan not working | Confirm your plan is active by dialling *152# or checking the MyTeletalk app. If recently purchased, wait two minutes for activation. |
| MMS not sending | Verify the MMS APN is mms.teletalk.com.bd and the proxy is 10.5.4.40 port 8080. Ensure mobile data is on while sending — MMS requires an active data connection. |
| SIM not registered | Test the SIM in another phone. If it shows the same error, contact 121 — the SIM may need re-registration at a service centre. |
| Settings not visible on iPhone | Go to Settings → General → Transfer or Reset iPhone → Reset → Reset Network Settings. Re-enter the APN after reset. |
| Auto-config SMS not received | Dial 121 and ask support to push configuration to your number manually. |
| Internet cuts out frequently | Check coverage in your area — Teletalk 4G covers roughly 40% of Bangladesh. In low-signal areas, manually set your preferred network to 3G to get a more stable connection. |
If clearing your app cache does not resolve repeated connectivity drops, try clearing the cache on Android at the system level — go to Settings → Storage → Cached data and clear all cached files, then restart.
Teletalk vs Other Bangladesh Operators
Understanding where Teletalk stands helps you decide whether to switch or supplement with a second SIM for better coverage.
| Operator | 4G Speed (avg) | 4G Coverage | Subscribers | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grameenphone | 14–16 Mbps | ~95% | 86 million | Speed, urban coverage |
| Robi | 12–14 Mbps | ~92% | 57 million | Value bundles |
| Banglalink | 11–13 Mbps | ~90% | 38 million | Youth plans |
| Teletalk | 4–6 Mbps | ~40% | 6.2 million | Students, rural, govt |
Teletalk holds roughly 3% of the market. Speed and coverage lag behind private operators, but the pricing is the most affordable and the student SIM programmes (Bornomala, Agami, Oporajita) are exclusive to Teletalk. For Robi internet settings or GP internet settings, the APN configuration process is similar but uses different APN values. If you use Banglalink as a backup SIM, you can switch between operators using the dual-SIM settings on most Android phones.
