Veon Group announced on Wednesday that its Bangladesh subsidiary Banglalink has signed an agreement with Starlink Mobile to integrate its Direct to Cell (D2C) satellite connectivity in remote areas with Banglalink’s terrestrial coverage.

Banglalink will launch Starlink’s D2C service later this year, giving its customers access to Starlink Mobile satellites using standard 4G smartphones, although the service will initially be limited to text messaging.

Banglalink said it will introduce data services in the next phase of Starlink Mobile’s rollout, pending regulatory approvals.

“By enhancing our connectivity with Starlink’s satellite-to-mobile technology, we aim to ensure that Banglalink customers will not be limited by the availability of terrestrial networks,” said Banglalink CEO Johan Buse in a statement.

Banglalink’s Starlink Mobile tie-up is the third such deal for Veon’s operator stable, following the [commercial launch of D2C service with Ukraine’s Kyivstar](https://developingtelecoms.com/telecom-technology/satellite-communications-networks/19391-kyivstar-commercially-launches-starlinks-d2c-service-in-ukraine.html) in November 2025 and a [field test with Beeline Kazakhstan](https://developingtelecoms.com/telecom-technology/satellite-communications-networks/19495-beeline-kazakhstan-field-tests-starlink-direct-to-cell-service.html) in December 2025 that also marked the first WhatsApp call over Starlink’s network in Central Asia. Beeline Kazakhstan aims to launch commercial D2C services later this year.

“By expanding our partnership with Starlink into Bangladesh, we are redefining resilience and opening up new possibilities for our digital ecosystem – now in the third country across the five markets that we proudly serve,” said Veon Group CEO Kaan Terzioglu.
