How to dial Eritrea from Sweden
00 291 · local number
- From a landline in Sweden: 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 Sweden (or +291 7 123 456 from a mobile); the Asmara landline +291 8 370 362 becomes 00 291 8 370 362.

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.
Worked perfectly. Had to make some calls to Canada from Ireland and this app was exactly what I was looking for.
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!
this app very good for me call with Bangladesh but voice quality some time up and down please fix it 🙏
Fair fee and good connection.I love it ,I have been using it for around a year.I tried another apps but there is nothing that can compare to this app.It would be better if you can add gift to someone who shares to friends as motivation
Great working 👍🏻 but, Cost per minute is a bit high
It’s great app to calling Africa I love it🙏
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!
