Joint Statement by Camtel and MTN Cameroon
“This is yet another act that demonstrates MTN’s commitment to contribute to the development of the telecommunications sector in Cameroon. We are thus launching national roaming, to ensure that all Cameroonians with a SIM card can remain reachable throughout the country.”
Stephen Blewett, Chief Executive Officer, MTN Cameroon
“Our strategy of presence and densification throughout the country will be based among other things on local roaming through the network of our partner MTN in areas where the Camtel network is not yet available in order to provide Camtel subscribers with quality service.”
