CAMTEL and MTN Cameroon launched local roaming services following the signing of a partnership agreement between the two operators, allowing CAMTEL to extend its mobile network in areas where it is not currently present through MTN Cameroon.
The General Director of CAMTEL, Judith Yah Sunday Achidi, said, “We are extremely pleased with the launch of local roaming on MTN Cameroon’s network. This service will allow the company’s customers to access network service in areas already covered by MTN Cameroon where CAMTEL is not currently present. As CAMTEL, we have the ambition to continue to grow our mobile telephony service and footprint and selected MTN Cameroon as a partner in this regard. We look forward to more of our customers enjoying voice and data services across various regions.”
The Governor of Centre Region, Naseri Paul Bea, also commented, “This initiative highlights the willingness of operators to work together to improve the quality of service provided to their customers. It is also a good example of public-private partnership, which contributes to achieve the vision of the Cameroonian Government in terms of digital economy and development in general.”
Within the framework of this partnership, the local roaming service has been enabled in a first phase across more than two hundred sites, the scope of which will be progressively expanded as agreed between the operators. The completion of this local roaming project is a concrete manifestation of the win-win partnership between CAMTEL and MTN Cameroon.
