South Asia Verified Traveler Reviews
way cheaper than roaming.. fast 5G in Bangladesh
setup took less than a minute from the email qr code, didnt even need an app. The second we landed at S-ASIA Main Passenger Terminal my phone connected to Grameenphone 5G before we even got off the plane. super easy experience, 10/10 would reccomend
South Asia 여행용으로 가성비 좋고 로밍보다 훨씬 저렴해요
출국 전날 집에서 QR코드 스캔해서 30초 만에 미리 등록해 두었습니다. S-ASIA Main Passenger Terminal 입국장 유심 카운터 줄 안 서고 바로 우버 호출해서 나왔습니다. Bhutan 외곽 도로에서 잠깐 4G LTE로 바뀌긴 했지만 전체적으로 아주 안정적이었습니다.
skipped the sim line at S-ASIA Main Passenger Terminal, super easy
Took the train from Bangladesh towards S-ASIA Main Passenger Terminal and the conection on Banglalink didnt drop once. saved at least $35 compared to airport kiosks.. will defintely use again
