The Burkina Faso country code is +226 — reaching a fast-growing Sahel market of ~23 million people + ~25 million mobile subscriptions across Orange Burkina Faso, Moov Africa + Telecel Faso. The land of FESPACO, cotton + gold — Burkinabè bank logins + Orange Money / Moov Money all expect a +226 mobile.
Burkina Faso was assigned +226 by the ITU — placing it in zone 2 with the rest of Africa. Like Denmark, it has no area codes at all: every number is exactly 8 digits, dialed in full.
Burkina Faso has used the +226 country code from the ITU in zone 2 — the zone covering all of Africa — alongside neighbours Côte d’Ivoire +225, Ghana +233, Mali +223, Niger +227, Togo +228 + Benin +229. The "226" string is unique to Burkina Faso. The country is a landlocked nation in the Sahel.
Burkina Faso's telephone numbering is administered by ARCEP Burkina (Autorité de Régulation des Communications Électroniques et des Postes). Three mobile carriers: Orange Burkina Faso (market leader), Moov Africa Burkina Faso (formerly Etisalat/Atlantique Telecom) + Telecel Faso. Mobile numbers begin with 5, 6 or 7. 4G is widely deployed in the cities.
Burkina Faso uses a <b>closed 8-digit plan</b> — every number, landline or mobile, is exactly <b>8 digits</b>, dialed in full with no trunk prefix. There is no leading 0 to drop. Landlines begin with <b>2</b> (20, 24, 25); mobiles begin with <b>5, 6 or 7</b>. The same 8 digits are dialed from Ouagadougou, Bobo-Dioulasso or abroad.
Burkina Faso used to be called Upper Volta. The country was known as Upper Volta (Haute-Volta) until 1984, when President Thomas Sankara renamed it Burkina Faso — "the land of upright (honest) people." Its capital Ouagadougou hosts FESPACO, the largest film festival in Africa, and the Mossi kingdoms + their Mogho Naba remain a living cultural institution. Cotton + gold are the country’s leading exports.
A Burkinabè phone number in international format is written as +226 NN NN NN NN — always exactly 8 digits. Example: +226 25 12 34 56 for an Ouagadougou landline, +226 20 12 34 56 for a Bobo-Dioulasso landline, +226 70 12 34 56 for a mobile. Burkinabè numbers are grouped in pairs for readability.
Because Burkina Faso uses a closed 8-digit plan with no area codes + no trunk prefix, there is no leading 0 to drop — you always dial all 8 digits, both domestically + internationally. Landlines begin with 2; mobiles begin with 5, 6 or 7 across Orange, Moov + Telecel.
From the Mausoleum of Thomas Sankara in Ouagadougou to the Karfiguéla Falls near Banfora, every Burkinabè number lives behind a +226 — all 8 digits, no area code. Pick a number that fits your customers anywhere in Burkina Faso.
Every country uses a different exit code before +226. From any mobile, + replaces the exit code — so +226 25 12 34 56 works worldwide. Burkinabè numbers are always 8 digits — never drop a digit.
