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.
Супер связь и удобный интерфейс. Спасибо разработчику.
Great working 👍🏻 but, Cost per minute is a bit high
this app very good for me call with Bangladesh but voice quality some time up and down please fix it 🙏
call quality is usually good, & costs less than other international calling apps
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
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.
