Real reviews from eFon users on the App Store and Google Play.
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
very good app but maybe you should make the calls free
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.
Супер связь и удобный интерфейс. Спасибо разработчику.
It’s great app to calling Africa I love it🙏
"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!
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.
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.
Worked perfectly. Had to make some calls to Canada from Ireland and this app was exactly what I was looking for.
