Real reviews from eFon users on the App Store and Google Play.
This is for the first time ever I am using this app and I am so happy with it. Thank you for your service👍😀
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!
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.
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
Worked perfectly. Had to make some calls to Canada from Ireland and this app was exactly what I was looking for.
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
Very good app. fast connection, no noises & both end to end clear communication, reasonable price in comparison to others. Very satisfied, thank you
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.
