On Monday January 19, 2015, at 2.59pm Grameenphone and other mobile operators received written directive from the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) to restrict access to the messaging services WhatsApp, LINE and My People with immediate effect. At the same time, the BTRC instructed Grameenphone and other operators to extend a previous restriction on messaging services Viber and Tango until 11.59pm on January 21st. 

Due to limitations in technology, GP can only enforce partial restriction on IP-based messaging services. However, customers may experience disruptions on the aforementioned services in the next few days. Grameenphone believes in open communication and sincerely regret any inconvenience caused to our valued customers in this regard.
