By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on GabonActu and Infos Gabon
Gabon and Cameroon have implemented free roaming between their mobile operators, Moov Africa Gabon Telecom, Airtel Gabon, MTN Cameroon and Orange Cameroon, for calls, SMS and data at local rates. According to a statement from Gabon’s Ministry of Digital Economy published on 10 November 2026 in Libreville, the measure applies to subscribers of both countries when travelling across the border.
Gabonese subscribers staying in Cameroon can now make and receive calls without bearing the usual roaming surcharges, and the same facility is granted to Cameroonian subscribers in Gabon. The arrangement covers voice calls, SMS and mobile internet access.
The implementation results from consultations between the authorities of the two countries, with the support of the Electronic Communications and Postal Regulatory Authority (ARCEP), the Digital Infrastructure Heritage Company (SPIN) and the National Agency for Digital Infrastructure and Frequencies (ANINF). For regular travellers, traders, transporters and businesses on either side of the border, the measure allows them to stay reachable without additional charges, and it aims to reduce the cost of communications between the two countries.
