Does anyone have any information on what cell service they have in Burkian Faso. I will be there for three weeks in Ouagadougou. I have not been able to find anything on the web.

Always start you search on this site:
http://maps.mobileworldlive.com/ There are two operators: 1. Airtel Burkina Faso http://africa.airtel.com/wps/wcm/con.../burkina-faso/ 2. Onatel http://www.onatel.bf/ |

But GSM World is not always right... There are actually 3 GSM operators.
Airtel (formerly Zain) has been sold to Orange. But it's not rebranded yet. http://www.orange.com/en/Press-and-m...d-Sierra-Leone It's generally seen as best provider with 2G/3G and "3.75G": French Website with offers: http://www.africa.airtel.com/wps/wcm.../burkina-faso/ Onatel (formerly Telmob, old incumbent provider, now mostly owned by Maroc Telecom is the "leader in telecommunications" in Bukina Faso offering "3G+" in some towns. Coverage is almost as good as Airtel/Orange and they have CDMA too, but users complain about low data speed and dropped calls. http://www.onatel.bf/ A 3rd provider called Moov (formerly Telecel Faso) can not be recommended, because of low coverage and no 3G at all. Cross-network calls are very expensive. That's why locals often have 2 or 3 SIM cards or dual-SIM phones. |
