In a message sent to its subscribers, MTN Cameroon, a subsidiary of the South African group of the same name, announced that as of July 1st, customers will be able to borrow airtime from 100 francs, payable at no charge within 24 hours without charge.

The introduction of the reimbursement fee is a new feature that had not existed since 2012 when the department called "MTN Prolongation" was announced.

"We have all experienced situations where we want to make a phone call, but we cannot because we do not have enough credit or no credit at all. Now with MTN you can call without credit.

MTN borrows you credit that you will reimburse later, "explained Jean-Simon Ngann Yonn, marketing and distribution director of MTN Cameroon in that time.

It is difficult to understand what the motivations in favor of this change were.

Information on the profitability and penetration levels of these additional data services in the category that include the credit transfer or the favorite number are not always accessible to the public as well as the results of the operators.
