Calling Ethiopia from Sweden

Many people in Sweden have family, friends and business partners in Ethiopia, and a phone call is still the simplest way to stay close. eFon lets you call Ethiopia mobiles and landlines from any phone in Sweden at low per-minute rates — no contract, no special plan.
Sweden has a long-standing Ethiopian community concentrated in Stockholm and its suburbs, Gothenburg and Malmö, with ties to Ethiopia going back to the 1970s.
How to dial Ethiopia from Sweden
00 251 · local number
- From a landline in Sweden: 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 Sweden (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.
"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!
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!
Good awesome call quality and suggest if video call facility is included Thanks n cheers!
Супер связь и удобный интерфейс. Спасибо разработчику.
No tenía muchas expectativas pero funcionó de maravilla y además súper económico.
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 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!
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
