The area code of Burkina Faso is +226. This code was introduced on 1 January 1966 when Burkina Faso switched from its old international dialling code of +800 to +226 for all incoming calls from abroad. This change was made so that all incoming calls would be routed through international carriers instead of neighbouring countries. This has helped increase security as well as improve call quality for customers calling into Burkina Faso from abroad. Check programingplease for Burkina Faso in 2010.
