My phone has no internet, or is not a smartphone. Can I still use bKash, or is the app the only way?
How do I use bKash without internet?
1 Answer
You can use it without internet. According to published guidance, dialling *247# from your registered number opens the mobile menu, where you enter your PIN and navigate to what you need.
That matters, because a large share of the country still uses feature phones or does not always have data. The mobile menu exists precisely so the service does not depend on owning a smartphone.
There is one significant limit: a full transaction statement is not available on the mobile menu — the guidance says it is app-only. So reconciling your records still needs the app.
🚨 Dial it from your own registered number and type the PIN yourself. Never dial a code someone reads out to you — some codes switch on call forwarding, after which verification messages reach them instead of you. The menu is also worth learning before you need it, since the first time anyone reaches for it is usually a moment when the app has already failed them.
