Good to know
Burkina Faso requires passport registration to buy a local SIM — an eSIM skips the paperwork and works the moment you land in Ouagadougou.
Unlimited, honestly.

Unlimited plans run at full speed up to a daily fair-use allowance, then at reduced speed until the allowance resets the next day — you're never cut off. Every plan is prepaid: the checkout total is the whole bill, and we never add overage charges.

Hotspot support varies by plan and destination — where it's available for your plan in Burkina Faso, it's shown in the plan details before you pay.

The Burkina Faso eSIM guide.

Burkina Faso is French-speaking, landlocked and pays in CFA francs — and mobile data quietly runs the day here. From haggling in Ouagadougou's markets to confirming mobile-money payments, your eSIM covers maps, translations, WhatsApp and video calls home while the local SIM queue and passport paperwork pass you by.

How it works on the day

Install before you fly: scan the QR, land at Ouagadougou (OUA) or Bobo-Dioulasso, switch it on and you're routed across Orange, Moov Africa or Telecel Faso — no queue, no passport-registered local SIM.

Choosing your days

Most visitors come for a week or two — business in Ouaga, the FESPACO film festival, or the waterfalls and hippos around Banfora. Match your data bundle to the days you're away; longer stays bring the daily cost right down.

The short version.

A travel eSIM is data only. It sits next to your home SIM, so your number, texts and WhatsApp carry on as normal. Pick unlimited, priced per day, or a fixed bundle of GB if it's mostly maps and messages. Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly — the days only start once it first connects in Burkina Faso, and it finds a partner network on its own.

Made for your kind of trip.

Business & aid tripsOuagadougou meetings and up-country field work — email, calls and mobile-money confirmations that stay live all day.
Festivals & cultureFESPACO's film crowds or the SIAO craft fair — share the moment and map the venues as you go.
