Real reviews from eFon users on the App Store and Google Play.
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
No tenía muchas expectativas pero funcionó de maravilla y además súper económico.
"International calls" offers affordable rates to Africa, Europe, Asia, and Latin America, saving me a lot compared to my mobile operator. The call quality is excellent with clear sound and no interruptions, even on weak internet. The app is user-friendly, easy to top up, and allows calls over Wi-Fi for maximum convenience. Highly recommended!
This is for the first time ever I am using this app and I am so happy with it. Thank you for your service👍😀
Good awesome call quality and suggest if video call facility is included Thanks n cheers!

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
Worked perfectly. Had to make some calls to Canada from Ireland and this app was exactly what I was looking for.
