Open WhatsApp

Tips for Burkina Faso numbers
- After +226, Burkina Faso mobile numbers begin with 5, 6, 7 — a quick check that you pasted the whole number.
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Lesotho costs $0.18 for WhatsApp, against $0.74 here.
- Turn on two-step verification (Settings → Account) so nobody can re-register your number.
Why use a Burkina Faso number for WhatsApp?
WhatsApp is the first app most people in Burkina Faso open every day, so a +226 number is what contacts, shops and services there expect to see on your profile.
Diaspora in Côte d’Ivoire: Millions of Burkinabè live in Côte d’Ivoire and beyond, and a +226 number keeps them easy to reach for relatives at home.
WhatsApp re-verifies whenever you move to a new phone, reinstall or restore a backup, so a number you keep is the only way to stay in control of the account.
