Real reviews from eFon users on the App Store and Google Play.
Супер связь и удобный интерфейс. Спасибо разработчику.
The app is the best app to make international calls and low rate to Nigeria, very clear when talking with it and they do what they say. I have used the free credit the gave and about to recharge it .I love it
this app very good for me call with Bangladesh but voice quality some time up and down please fix it 🙏
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
It costs yes, but honestly all I have is gratitude. The price I am charged is really low for the benefit i recieve and the quality of the calls. I would have been so lost without it. my only negative comment is that if I open certain apps like my bank, it instantly disconnects the call. The negative thought is absorbable for the overall package. That being said, if that could be fixed then I'd find it perfect.
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.
very good app but maybe you should make the calls free
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!
