Users seeing 011 numbers or old Citycell contacts.
Bangladesh phone lookups usually start with one of three questions: is the number valid, which operator originally issued it, and whether any safe public caller-ID style hint is available. This guide explains those parts without promising private SIM records or illegal subscriber information.
A local BD mobile number normally starts with 01 and contains 11 digits. The same number in international format starts with +880 and removes the first local zero.

The safest way to build a Bangladesh lookup page is to be honest about what can be known. Prefix lookup is useful for operator identification and validation, but it should not be sold as an official identity database. Official SIM registration and NID information are private.
For developers, avoid calling lookup APIs on every page view. Validate format locally first, then call the server only after the user submits a number. Cache repeated results where possible to reduce hosting cost and make the site faster for visitors.
Is 011 still a live mobile prefix?
Citycell CDMA operations were discontinued. Treat 011 as a legacy allocation, not a current nationwide mobile series.
Which prefixes are current?
013, 014, 015, 016, 017, 018 and 019 are the common live mobile prefixes.
