Calling Eritrea from Belgium
Rates, dialling instructions and the best time to call Eritrea from Belgium with eFon.

Belgium's Eritrean community is younger and has grown since the mid-2010s, centred on Brussels with smaller groups in Antwerp, Ghent and Liège.
How to dial Eritrea from Belgium
00 291 · local number
- From a landline in Belgium: dial the exit code 00, then the country code 291, then the local number without any leading zero.
- From a mobile: type +291 and the local number — the plus sign replaces the exit code on every mobile phone, wherever you are.
- With eFon: open the app, choose Eritrea, enter the number and call — the app adds the country code for you.
Examples: the mobile number +291 7 123 456 in Eritrea is dialled as 00 291 7 123 456 from a landline in Belgium (or +291 7 123 456 from a mobile); the Asmara landline +291 8 370 362 becomes 00 291 8 370 362.

Real reviews from eFon users on the App Store and Google Play.
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!
Супер связь и удобный интерфейс. Спасибо разработчику.
This is for the first time ever I am using this app and I am so happy with it. Thank you for your service👍😀
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.
"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!
It’s great app to calling Africa I love it🙏
Very good app. fast connection, no noises & both end to end clear communication, reasonable price in comparison to others. Very satisfied, 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.
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.
