Using mobile data in Burkina Faso: local tips
- Limited phone networks. Access to phone networks is limited in Burkina Faso, so keep contacts and route details offline. UK advice suggests a satellite phone for road journeys in case of breakdown.
- Check signal quality. Résomètre, backed by the national telecoms regulator ARCEP, measures the real service quality of mobile operators in one click, so you can check your connection where you are.
- Emergency numbers. In Ouagadougou, dial 18 for an ambulance or fire and 17 for police. Outside the capital, UK advice gives the universal number 112.
- Visa-only ATMs. The few ATMs in Ouagadougou accept only Visa cards, and cards are rarely usable outside the capital. UK advice suggests bringing US dollars in cash to exchange.
