What each type means for the caller

Toll-free: 88
Free to the caller, usually only from inside the country; the business that owns the number pays for the call. 8 or 9 digits after +237.

Writing and dialling a Cameroon toll-free number

Cameroon has no trunk prefix, so the number is the same at home and abroad; in E.164 put +237 in front: 88 01 23 45 becomes +23788012345. Many freephone numbers still only accept calls from inside Cameroon, and a call from abroad that does connect is usually charged.

Toll-free and premium numbers in a phone list

In a lead or customer list, a toll-free number usually reaches a company line rather than a person, and a premium-rate number costs you money to call. The free toll-free number checker flags them in a pasted list or CSV, and the Cameroon phone number format page covers mobiles and landlines.

The numbering plan only knows what a range was issued for.

In the US and Canada mobiles and landlines share the same prefixes, and anywhere a number can be ported or reassigned the range stops telling the whole story. A live carrier lookup asks the network data instead, which is what Pro + Phone ($49.99/mo) adds.
