Ethiopia offers more than 40 travel eSIM providers and more than 300 prepaid data plans. This extensive selection gives travelers many choices to match their data needs.
Truely currently offers unlimited data eSIM plans for Ethiopia. These plans are valid from 1 to 30 days and are priced between about $8 and $399 USD, depending on the chosen validity period. The unlimited allowance may be subject to speed throttling, and the available network is 3G and 4G. If unlimited data is not required, travelers can estimate their usage by considering email, browsing, streaming, and social media needs, then choose a plan that provides a sufficient data allowance for a comfortable stay.
Ethio Telecom: The state-owned telecommunications provider, historically the sole operator in Ethiopia, offering extensive nationwide coverage.

Yes, travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS capability are available for Ethiopia. Two providers offer such plans. GlobaleSIM sells 1 GB for 7 days at $26.00 USD, 2 GB for 10 days at $38.00 USD, 3 GB for 14 days at $44.00 USD and 5 GB for 21 days at $53.00 USD; Roamify offers a 10 GB plan for 30 days at $40.00 USD. The validity of these plans ranges from 7 to 30 days, and the prices start around $26.00 USD.
Both providers use foreign dialing codes for the numbers. GlobaleSIM supplies a +1 number that supports inbound and outbound voice calls and inbound SMS only, while Roamify gives a +33 number that supports inbound and outbound voice calls as well as inbound and outbound SMS. Because the dialing codes do not match Ethiopia’s, the numbers are not local Ethiopian numbers, but they meet the requested telephony and messaging requirements.
