Telephone country codes never begin with zero.

Country code +226, dialed as 00 226 from many places, is the African nation of Burkina Faso.

Country code +26, dialed as 002 26 from many places, is an incomplete code in southern Africa or nearby island countries. You need one more digit to specify the country.

To avoid confusion, it is best to write an international telephone number in correct international format, beginning with the plus symbol and the correct telephone country code (e.g., +226 or +269), omitting any dialing prefix.

(The plus signmeans "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)
