Bhutan: Mobile Coverage & Carriers
Bhutan has two primary mobile network operators: B-Mobile (Bhutan Telecom) and TashiCell. Both carriers support 3G and 4G/LTE services commercially. 5G has been commercially launched in the country, though deployment details remain limited. A roaming eSIM in Bhutan is likely to connect via LTE bands B3 (1800 MHz) and B8 (900 MHz), or via 5G band n78 (3.5 GHz) where available.
Some local carriers in Bhutan issue eSIMs, though information on which operators provide this service and the extent of availability is limited. Travelers relying on eSIM connectivity should verify eSIM support with their intended carrier before arrival, as confidence in complete coverage details remains low.

Compiled from public-record telecom facts (the MNO roster, commercially-launched 3G/4G/5G generations, deployed travel-relevant bands and local-eSIM support) and verified June 2026; see the source we compile this country from. This country's connectivity row is currently low-confidence (small / island / single-operator / fast-changing market), so treat the carrier, band and 5G details as a starting point we are still verifying.
