The code is divided into two parts: ‘+’ and ‘237’. The ‘+’ indicates that the number is international and the ‘237’ identifies the country as Cameroon. The most common type of telephone numbers found in Cameroon are mobile numbers, which are eight digits long starting with 6, followed by 7 more digits. Landline numbers have seven digits, while VoIP numbers have nine digits starting with 5 or 6, followed by 8 more digits. In addition to these types of telephone numbers, there are also toll-free and premium rate services available in Cameroon which use different formats than standard phone numbers. Toll-free services usually start with 0800 or 0801, while premium rate services usually start with 0900 or 0901. Cameroon has one of the highest mobile phone penetration rates in Central Africa and its population is rapidly increasing their use of telecommunication services such as mobile phones, internet access and other technologies due to advances in infrastructure and technology over recent years.
