How to dial Nigeria from the UK
00 234 · local number
- From a landline in the United Kingdom: 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 the United Kingdom (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.
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.
call quality is usually good, & costs less than other international calling apps
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
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
"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!
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!
