Real reviews from eFon users on the App Store and Google Play.
very good app but maybe you should make the calls free
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
No tenía muchas expectativas pero funcionó de maravilla y además súper económico.
Great working 👍🏻 but, Cost per minute is a bit high
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.

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
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
