What is the country code for Burundi?

Burundi answers to +257. What makes the country easy is what it leaves out: there is no patchwork of city codes and no trunk digit to remember. The whole nation runs on a single flat 8-digit plan, so a number in Bujumbura is dialed exactly the same way as one in Ngozi. Lead with +257, follow with the eight digits, done.

Código +257 foi designado para Burundi pela UIT no âmbito do plano E.164. O “+” significa “disque seu código de saída internacional local”; em um celular, pressione e segure 0 para digitá-lo.

Burundi phone number format explained

Every Burundian number is eight digits, grouped as yy yy xxxx. Because there are no city codes, the work the first two digits do is different here — they flag the service and the operator instead of a place. See a 22, you're reaching an ONATEL fixed line; a 31 points to Lumitel's fixed service; a 6 or a 7 up front means you're calling a mobile.

Telefone Fixo

Eight digits opening with 22 (ONATEL fixed) or 31 (Viettel/Lumitel fixed).

Móvel

Eight digits opening in the 6x or 7x bands. With portability live, that opening pair tells you where the number was born, not necessarily who carries it today.

Burundi time zone

The clocks in Gitega and Bujumbura hold Central Africa Time (CAT, UTC+2) every day of the year — Burundi has never run daylight saving, so once you've worked out the gap to your own city it stays put through every season.

Common mistakes when calling Burundi

Quase todas as chamadas internacionais com falha são um problema de formatação, não de rede.

Hunting for an area code that does not exist

Burundi runs one flat plan, so there is nothing to insert between +257 and the eight digits.

Slipping in a leading 0 out of habit

there is no trunk prefix in this country to drop or add.

Stopping at seven digits

a complete Burundian number is always eight.

Reading the 6x/7x opener as the current carrier

portability means it only names where the number started.

Mixing up +257 (Burundi) with neighbouring +250 (Rwanda)

one digit apart, two different countries.

10Economize dinheiro

Tips to reduce the cost of calling Burundi

Swap premium international minutes for VoIP or a hosted +257 line.

Carry the leg over the internet so you sidestep the surcharges that pile onto mobile-terminated calls.

Hand your Burundian contacts a local DID

they then reach you at in-country rates instead of paying to call abroad.

Keep dialling inside the CAT business day so calls connect first try and you skip costly redials.

Perguntas frequentes

Burundi +257 — FAQ

Why doesn't Burundi have any area codes?expand_more

It runs a single nationwide 8-digit plan, so a city code would be redundant — every number is dialed the same way from Bujumbura to Gitega.

Is +257 close to any neighbour's code I might mistype?expand_more

Yes — Rwanda is +250, just one digit away, so double-check before you dial across the border.

I called and got "7 digits not enough" — what went wrong?expand_more

A full Burundian number is eight digits; you likely dropped one. Count again and redial.

Who are the main mobile operators behind 6x and 7x numbers?expand_more

Lumitel (Viettel) holds most of the 6x band, while Econet Leo/UCOM and ONATEL Mobile sit across the 7x range.

Does a 22 number cost differently from a 6x number?expand_more

22 reaches an ONATEL fixed line and 6x reaches a mobile; mobile termination is typically the pricier leg, which is one reason a hosted DID pays off.

From the US, do I keep anything before 257?expand_more

Yes — dial your 011 exit code, then 257, then the eight digits, with no extra zero in between.

Will Burundi's time ever drift relative to my country?expand_more

Burundi stays on CAT (UTC+2) all year, so the gap only moves when your own country switches its clocks for daylight saving.

Can I keep my number if I switch Burundian carriers?expand_more

Yes — portability is supported, which is exactly why the 6x/7x opener can't be trusted as a live carrier label.

What currency will I be quoted in locally?expand_more

The Burundian franc (BIF, written FBu).

Can MCM give me a real +257 number without an office in Burundi?expand_more

Yes — we provision genuine on-network 8-digit DIDs and route them to your team anywhere.
