Grameenphone, commonly abbreviated as GP, is the biggest mobile network operator in Bangladesh by subscribers. It is jointly owned by the Norwegian telecom conglomerate Telenor (55.8%) and Grameen Telecom, a not-for-profit organisation (34.2%).

With over 70 million subscribers, Grameenphone is the biggest Telenor-owned network by subscribers, followed by Telenor Pakistan. Its competitors Robi and Banglalink are a distant second and third in the country.

Following the rebrand of the Telenor Group in 2006, its Bangladeshi division introduced the new Telenor logo on 14 November 2006 while retaining the Grameenphone name.

Grameenphone is one of only two Telenor networks to carry Telenor’s corporate branding but not the Telenor name, the other being dtac in Thailand. Other subsidiaries using different names were all renamed to Telenor around 2010, as was Telenor’s now-defunct Indian subsidiary Uninor in 2015. (Digi in Malaysia and DNA in Finland do not use the Telenor group branding, nor are their logos similar to other Telenor subsidiaries.)
