History

Before Camtel, telecommunications in Cameroon were managed by several government entities. One of the key institutions was INTELCAM, responsible for managing international communications.
In 1998, by Presidential Decree No. 98/198 of 8 September 1998, the Cameroonian government merged the Directorate of Telecommunications and INTELCAM to form Camtel.
