Banglalink Digital Communications Ltd. is a telecommunication service provider in Bangladesh. It’s the third-largest cellular service provider in Bangladesh
I travel a lot, recently I was in Sri Lanka & I observed many people were unable to send SMS messages from my Banglalink sim. I followed some solutions & later I was able to receive an SMS but It was frustrating.
I tried to tell these tips to other people, and it worked for them too. So in this, I am going to share those tips and tricks with you so that you can solve this SMS not sending or receiving issue from your side.
SMS Messages Not Sending or Receiving on Banglalink sim Solved
Below I have shared the Reason behind both Banglalink Prepaid sim and Postpaid sim Users for this issue:
Solution 1
If you have changed your Banglalink Sim recently like me, this means the same number and same network but a new SIM(upgraded) then you will not be able to Send or Receive SMS to your number for some time as a part of security measures from Banglalink for a few days.
In a similar case, If you got a 4G SIM replacement for your Banglalink mobile number, you will not receive or send any SMS for the next 48 hours.
It means if you are using a new sim for 48 hours you may not be able to receive or send any SMS from the Banglalink network, if you want more information you can contact Banglalink support.
Solution 2
If you haven’t sent any SMS or Message from your mobile in the last 6 months then Banglalink sim may disable the outgoing SMS messages of your mobile number.
To Verify this case you can call Banglalink sim Customer Care and Ask them to enable SMS Services. After a successful request once restarts your mobile to start sending SMS. Nowadays this process seems to be canceled so far in 2022. But again I request you to confirm this from customer care.
Solution 4
If there is an incorrect Date and Time on your device then it may be a root cause of the issue and it may create other issues too. So try to fix it.
Here are the steps to set your device time accurately:
- Open your phone’s Clock app.
- Tap More and go to Settings.
- To pick your home time zone: Tap Home time zone. To automatically update your timezone: Tap Change date & time. Set time zone automatically.
- To update your timezone based on your location: Tap Change date & time Set time zone automatically.

Your Banglalink sim SMS Center Number might be wrong, so in this case, you can try either refreshing or updating SMSC. Remember you should use the SMSC of your area. You should choose SMSC according to your area which you can get from Google.
Steps to update or refresh SMSC:
- Dial – *#*#4636#*#* on Keypad.
- It will automatically open the ‘Testing’ settings.
- Now if you have two sims in your android phone then choose accordingly. In my case, I opened ‘Phone information1’.
- Now scroll down and try to find the ‘SMSC’ option, here will see the Refresh option tap it.
- if it didn’t work for you then type your network operator’s SMSC number of your area and tap Update.
Tip solution: Put your SIM on a different phone. If it works then the problem is with your mobile phone. Unfortunately, if it doesn’t work then try to get help from Banglalink Customer care.
