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!
It was bad in the beginning but I got tec support and I hope it continues. It seems fine. Actually I found care from their tec support for several times and this is something valuable. They kept responding until it is all fine.
Worked perfectly. Had to make some calls to Canada from Ireland and this app was exactly what I was looking for.
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
This is for the first time ever I am using this app and I am so happy with it. Thank you for your service👍😀
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
You don't need internet to call everywhere in the world, I love it because you can connect with your family regardless of whether they have a connection or not, what saved me is that it comes with a gift balance, thank you, very good app.
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
No tenía muchas expectativas pero funcionó de maravilla y además súper económico.
