Bhutan's telecommunications infrastructure supports 3G, 4G/LTE, and 5G services through two main operators: B-Mobile (Bhutan Telecom) and TashiCell. A travel eSIM will connect to these networks across bands including B3 (1800 MHz), B8 (900 MHz), and n78 (3.5 GHz) for 5G where available. The country's calling code is +975.
For visitors, a travel eSIM generally offers a simpler and more cost-effective option than roaming with a home carrier, as roaming charges tend to be high in Bhutan. While some local carriers do issue eSIMs, travel-eSIM country plans are available and typically provide better value for short stays. Travel eSIMs work on modern eSIM-compatible phones regardless of whether local carriers support eSIM technology.
