How to dial Nigeria from Germany
00 234 · local number
- From a landline in Germany: dial the exit code 00, then the country code 234, then the local number without any leading zero.
- From a mobile: type +234 and the local number — the plus sign replaces the exit code on every mobile phone, wherever you are.
- With eFon: open the app, choose Nigeria, enter the number and call — the app adds the country code for you.
Examples: the mobile number +234 802 123 4567 in Nigeria is dialled as 00 234 802 123 4567 from a landline in Germany (or +234 802 123 4567 from a mobile); the Abuja landline +234 9 104 0123 becomes 00 234 9 104 0123.

Real reviews from eFon users on the App Store and Google Play.
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
Dear efon, the sound of your earpiece speaker is very weak, my phone is fine, no problem, I talk with other apps and it is fine, but with Efon it is very weak, please increase the volume. My phone is Samsung S25.One UI 8.5
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👍😀
It’s great app to calling Africa I love it🙏
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.
this app very good for me call with Bangladesh but voice quality some time up and down please fix it 🙏
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!
