Geographic Overview
The area code 2540 is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the southern region of Burkina Faso, encompassing the towns of Pô, Kombissiri, and Koubri. This zone falls within the Centre-Sud administrative region, with Pô serving as the capital of the Nahouri Province and Kombissiri as the capital of the Bazèga Province. The code is used for fixed-line (PSTN) services, connecting subscribers in these semi-urban and rural areas to the national and international telephone network.
Dialing Formats
To call a fixed-line number in this region from within Burkina Faso, subscribers must dial the full national number, which includes the trunk prefix 0 followed by the area code and the subscriber's local number. The national format is: 0 2540 XX XX (8 digits after the trunk prefix). For example, a local number might be dialed as 02540 12 34.
For international callers, the country code for Burkina Faso is +226. The international format omits the leading trunk prefix, so the number becomes: +226 2540 XX XX. For instance, if the local number is 2540 12 34, the international dialing format is +226 2540 12 34.
Caller Instructions
Local callers (within Burkina Faso): Dial the full national number including the trunk prefix. For example, to call a number in Pô from Ouagadougou, dial 02540 12 34.
International callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), followed by Burkina Faso's country code 226, then the area code without the leading zero, and the subscriber number. For example, from the US, dial 011 226 2540 12 34.
Technical Considerations
This geographic code is part of the national numbering plan administered by the Autorité de Régulation des Communications Électroniques (ARCE). As with many fixed-line networks, numbers are allocated to physical lines, and the service is primarily delivered over traditional copper or fiber infrastructure. There are currently no overlay codes in this area, meaning that the 2540 prefix uniquely identifies the geographic region. Callers should note that while mobile numbers in Burkina Faso also begin with 0 and are 8 digits long, they use different NDCs (e.g., 70, 71, etc.) and are not reachable via this geographic code.
