Frequently Asked Questions
Which exit code does Canada use?
Canada dials out with 011. Put it ahead of the country code (+237) on a landline. On a mobile or a VoIP service like Intercalling, the '+' symbol replaces it.
What is the format for calling a Cameroon mobile?
Cameroon mobiles run 9 digits and almost always begin with a 6. Dial +237 and then those 9 digits, for instance +237 671 234 567.
Does my Canadian plan already cover calls to Cameroon?
Rarely. Plans from Rogers, Bell, Fido and the rest tend to bill international calls to Africa as an extra, often past $1.50 a minute. Intercalling charges pay as you go and works out far cheaper.
Can I reach landlines in Douala and Yaoundé too?
Yes. Intercalling connects both landlines, which start with 2, and mobiles, which start with 6.
