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.
Great app crystal clear , my cousin has a stage 4 cancer right now and I needed this to coordinate her final days , thanks for creating this. It does need few improvements. Subscription or adding credits could be more functional as you have to try so many times to add credit. It’s a few cliches that’s resolvable above all I will still give it five stars
You don't need internet to call everywhere in the world, I love it because you can connect with your family regardless of whether they have a connection or not, what saved me is that it comes with a gift balance, thank you, very good app.
The best on the market, worth every penny, using for years now. A tip for users, if the call has a delay, it's because of WiFi, use it through mobile data, nearly 0 delay.
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
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!
Great working 👍🏻 but, Cost per minute is a bit high
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
very good app but maybe you should make the calls free
