Why a call to Burkina Faso fails
The exit code is wrong for your country
00 works from Burkina Faso and most of the world. From the US and Canada the exit code is 011.
The 00 was saved instead of the +
Some phones will not dial a contact saved as 00226. Save a Burkina Faso number as +226 instead, so it dials correctly from any country.
