Calling Nepal from Malaysia
Rates, dialling instructions and the best time to call Nepal from Malaysia with eFon.
Many people in Malaysia have family, friends and business partners in Nepal, and a phone call is still the simplest way to stay close. eFon lets you call Nepal mobiles and landlines from any phone in Malaysia at low per-minute rates — no contract, no special plan.
Malaysia is one of the main destinations for Nepali migrant workers, employed mainly in and around Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Penang and Johor; for most of them, regular calls to family in Nepal are part of daily life.
How to dial Nepal from Malaysia
00 977 · local number
- From a landline in Malaysia: dial the exit code 00, then the country code 977, then the local number without any leading zero.
- From a mobile: type +977 and the local number — the plus sign replaces the exit code on every mobile phone, wherever you are.
- With eFon: open the app, choose Nepal, enter the number and call — the app adds the country code for you.
Examples: the mobile number +977 984-1234567 in Nepal is dialled as 00 977 984-1234567 from a landline in Malaysia (or +977 984-1234567 from a mobile); the Kathmandu landline +977 1-4567890 becomes 00 977 1-4567890.

Real reviews from eFon users on the App Store and Google Play.
very good app but maybe you should make the calls free
No tenía muchas expectativas pero funcionó de maravilla y además súper económico.
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 is for the first time ever I am using this app and I am so happy with it. Thank you for your service👍😀
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!
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. 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.
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
call quality is usually good, & costs less than other international calling apps
