Why a call to Bangladesh fails
The 0 is still in the number
The 0 at the start of a Bangladesh number is for calls inside the country. From abroad, leave it out: +880 takes its place.
The exit code is wrong for your country
00 works from most of the world to reach Bangladesh. From the US and Canada, the exit code is 011 instead.
The number does not take calls from abroad
Numbers that start with 08 are toll-free inside Bangladesh and often cannot be reached from outside the country.
