I was able to receive calls on my AT&T wireless phone as roaming in Cameroon. Ofcourse i did not answer them due to the roaming charges. I used a Callbox or send a text message (very cheap if roaming) to return all calls from US. I did not bother unlocking the phone or try to use a Cameroon SIM Card since my stay was short. Depending on your location in Cameroon the US Calls show you as roaming on MTN Cameroon or Orange Cameroun S.A
