IR Billing and Payment info
- As per Bangladesh Bank directives, IR bill need to be charged in USD from customerâs own International credit card/International debit card or FC account.
- Though auto debit customers provide authorization to GP to deduct usage amount to ensure uninterrupted roaming service but sometimes (especially holidays/weekends) may not be possible to charge the amount as for charging we are dependent on banks and bank remain close during holidays/weekends.
- IR bill is charged based on the charging record that roaming partners claim/send. It could take up to three months from your overseas return for the last roaming charges to appear on your Grameenphone bill.
- During roaming, it is not possible to bar the roaming service in real time (even if the Security Deposit is crossed) as billing records are generated from the Roaming Partnerâs system and shared at a delayed time. Hence, it is recommended that the roaming customers select the appropriate Roaming Product and Profile while subscribing to roaming services.
