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!
No tenía muchas expectativas pero funcionó de maravilla y además súper económico.
call quality is usually good, & costs less than other international calling apps
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!
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
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.
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.
Good awesome call quality and suggest if video call facility is included Thanks n cheers!
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
