Burkina Faso offers more than 70 travel eSIM brands and provides over 600 prepaid data plans, giving travelers a wide variety of options.
Firsty offers an unlimited data eSIM plan for Burkina Faso. The plan is free, lasts one day, but the network speed is capped at about 256 kbps and may be throttled after a certain amount of use. Because this is the only unlimited offering, travelers who require higher speeds or longer validity will need to choose a capped data plan instead.
In Burkina Faso, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are:
Orange Burkina Faso: A subsidiary of the Orange Group, offering a comprehensive range of mobile services, including voice, data, and messaging.
Moov Africa (formerly Telecel Faso): Part of the Maroc Telecom Group, providing various mobile services and investing in network infrastructure expansion.
Onatel (Telmob): A state-owned telecommunications company offering mobile services with a focus on affordability.
These operators are regulated by the Autorité de Régulation des Communications Électroniques et des Postes (ARCEP), ensuring fair competition and quality of services.
Currently, Burkina Faso does not have Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs).
Travel eSIM plans that include a mobile number and SMS capability are available for Burkina F Cap during a visit. The main provider offering such plans is GlobaleSIM, with a range of data caps from 1 GB to 20 GB, validity periods from 7 days to 30 days, and prices beginning around $5.50 USD and rising to about $73 USD for the largest 20 GB, 30‑day option. These routes supply a phone number (dialing code +1) and support inbound voice and SMS; outbound SMS is not indicated in the data. Another option is Roamify, which provides a 20 GB plan for 30 days at roughly $40 USD, with a phone number dialed from France (+33), inbound and outbound voice, and inbound/outbound SMS.
Because both GlobaleSIM and Roamify use foreign dialing codes (+1 and +33 respectively), the numbers they provide are not local Burkina‑F Cap numbers. Travelers who need a local phone number would need to look for other solutions, but for many purposes the foreign numbers offered by these plans will work for receiving messages and making calls while traveling.
