How to dial Ethiopia from Norway
00 251 · local number
- From a landline in Norway: 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 Norway (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.
No tenía muchas expectativas pero funcionó de maravilla y además súper económico.
excellent service at unbeatable prices. I used Skype for years because I live abroad and I just found this about 6 months ago and I could not be more satisfied. amazing application and the prices... are r unbelievably fair. great work! 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.
It’s great app to calling Africa I love it🙏
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
Very good app. fast connection, no noises & both end to end clear communication, reasonable price in comparison to others. Very satisfied, thank you
Great app. Cheap call rates, works with landlines and mobiles, good call quality, and easy to use. Saved me a lot of money calling a parent from North America on a recent trip.
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!
Супер связь и удобный интерфейс. Спасибо разработчику.
