How to dial Ethiopia from Belgium
00 251 · local number
- From a landline in Belgium: dial the exit code 00, then the country code 251, then the local number without any leading zero.
- From a mobile: type +251 and the local number — the plus sign replaces the exit code on every mobile phone, wherever you are.
- With eFon: open the app, choose Ethiopia, enter the number and call — the app adds the country code for you.
Examples: the mobile number +251 91 123 4567 in Ethiopia is dialled as 00 251 91 123 4567 from a landline in Belgium (or +251 91 123 4567 from a mobile); the Addis Ababa landline +251 11 518 2345 becomes 00 251 11 518 2345.

Real reviews from eFon users on the App Store and Google Play.
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.
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
Worked perfectly. Had to make some calls to Canada from Ireland and this app was exactly what I was looking for.

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
"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!
