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.
Супер связь и удобный интерфейс. Спасибо разработчику.
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
Worked perfectly. Had to make some calls to Canada from Ireland and this app was exactly what I was looking for.
I am very happy the first time ever in my life! good call after first time apploadinng this international call! try this to those who have dough try this good free call international!
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.
This is for the first time ever I am using this app and I am so happy with it. Thank you for your service👍😀
Fair fee and good connection.I love it ,I have been using it for around a year.I tried another apps but there is nothing that can compare to this app.It would be better if you can add gift to someone who shares to friends as motivation
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
