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

Great working 👍🏻 but, Cost per minute is a bit high

very good app but maybe you should make the calls free

I’ve tested so many apps for calling home to Bangladesh, and most were disappointing—except for Skype. But then I found Efone! The app is seamless, the prices are fair, and the call quality is top-notch. I’m really happy with this service. Huge thanks to the developers for making such a great product!
Mostafijur Rahman RajuGoogle 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.

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
MD ARIFUL ISLAMGoogle Play
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.
Rodrigo SouzaGoogle Play
call quality is usually good, & costs less than other international calling apps
Awet MohammedGoogle Play
The application has the lowest service fees compared to other apps providing the same service. I would like to take a moment to thank the support team who responded promptly and patiently. They were so helpful with resolving my issues using the app. Good luck
