How to dial Eritrea from Germany
00 291 · local number
- From a landline in Germany: 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.

Real reviews from eFon users on the App Store and Google Play.
"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!
Good awesome call quality and suggest if video call facility is included Thanks n cheers!
Great working 👍🏻 but, Cost per minute is a bit high
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
The app is the best app to make international calls and low rate to Nigeria, very clear when talking with it and they do what they say. I have used the free credit the gave and about to recharge it .I love it
Worked perfectly. Had to make some calls to Canada from Ireland and this app was exactly what I was looking for.
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.
No tenía muchas expectativas pero funcionó de maravilla y además súper económico.
