Using mobile data in Cameroon: local tips
- Coverage thins between cities. Mobile coverage is limited on routes between cities. For long road journeys, UK advice suggests taking a VHF radio or satellite phone.
- Prepare for long power cuts. Power cuts happen regularly and can last more than eight hours, disrupting telecoms and banking. Carry a charged power bank.
- Check the coverage map. MTN Cameroon publishes a network coverage map you can check for your destinations. Treat it as a guide: the operator says its coverage areas are computer-simulated.
- Police emergency number. Dial 117 for the police in Cameroon. Save it with your accommodation’s contact details before you travel.
