How to dial Eritrea from Norway
00 291 · local number
- From a landline in Norway: 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 Norway (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.
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
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!
"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 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.
Worked perfectly. Had to make some calls to Canada from Ireland and this app was exactly what I was looking for.
this app very good for me call with Bangladesh but voice quality some time up and down please fix it 🙏
