Ghana and Burkina Faso Sign Free Roaming Deal to Eliminate Cross-Border Mobile Charges
Under the new arrangement, users will be able to make calls, send messages, and access data at domestic rates on either side of the border.
Ghana and Burkina Faso have finalized a free roaming agreement that removes additional mobile charges for travelers moving between the two countries. Under the new arrangement, users will be able to make calls, send messages, and access data at domestic rates on either side of the border.
The agreement was concluded on November 21, 2025, during Digital Week in Ouagadougou. It forms part of a broader push to strengthen cross-border connectivity and accelerate digital integration across West Africa.
With this development, Ghana has now secured free roaming arrangements with all its neighboring countries. The milestone reinforces its position as a regional leader in telecommunications cooperation and supports ongoing efforts to create a more unified digital ecosystem in the subregion.
