MTN Cameroon will soon start selling affordable high-performance smartphones in service centres across the country said chief executive officer Hendrik Kasteel. "The voice market which constituted the revenue bulk of our operations has lost a significant part of its value. And at same time, the data market has not yet reached the growth level which would enable us to compensate the losses recorded on the voice market," said Kasteel. While the company lost three million subscribers after complying with subscriber identification regulations, management confirmed it had secured eight million in January 2019 – up from less than seven million subscribers as of Q3 2018. He added that MTN Cameroon will focus on transparency, the youth market and network upgrades in 2019.
