Real reviews from eFon users on the App Store and Google Play.
It costs yes, but honestly all I have is gratitude. The price I am charged is really low for the benefit i recieve and the quality of the calls. I would have been so lost without it. my only negative comment is that if I open certain apps like my bank, it instantly disconnects the call. The negative thought is absorbable for the overall package. That being said, if that could be fixed then I'd find it perfect.
Very useful app! I live abroad and my family is in a rural area with no internet. This app allows me to call them directly at a very low cost. It’s easy to use, reliable and the support team responds quickly. Highly recommended!
excellent service at unbeatable prices. I used Skype for years because I live abroad and I just found this about 6 months ago and I could not be more satisfied. amazing application and the prices... are r unbelievably fair. great work! Thank you
It was bad in the beginning but I got tec support and I hope it continues. It seems fine. Actually I found care from their tec support for several times and this is something valuable. They kept responding until it is all fine.
Dear efon, the sound of your earpiece speaker is very weak, my phone is fine, no problem, I talk with other apps and it is fine, but with Efon it is very weak, please increase the volume. My phone is Samsung S25.One UI 8.5
