Real reviews from eFon users on the App Store and Google Play.
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.
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!
Great working 👍🏻 but, Cost per minute is a bit high
This is for the first time ever I am using this app and I am so happy with it. Thank you for your service👍😀
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
No tenía muchas expectativas pero funcionó de maravilla y además súper económico.
Good awesome call quality and suggest if video call facility is included Thanks n cheers!
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
very good app but maybe you should make the calls free
