Everything you need to know about using eSIMs in Ethiopia
There are about 70 travel eSIM brands and roughly 700 prepaid data plans available for use in Ethiopia, giving travelers a wide variety of options to choose from.
Truely offers an unlimited data eSIM that covers Ethiopian coverage. The plan is valid between one and thirty days and is priced from about $9.90 up to $399.00, depending on the chosen duration. Although the data allowance is advertised as unlimited, speed may be throttled after extended use, and tethering is permitted. No other eSIM providers listed provide an unlimited data option for Ethiopia at this time.
Ethio Telecom: The state-owned telecommunications provider, historically the sole operator in Ethiopia, offering extensive nationwide coverage.
Safaricom Ethiopia: A subsidiary of Kenya's Safaricom, which began operations in Ethiopia in 2022, expanding the country's mobile network options.
Ethiopia does not have Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs).
Travel eSIM providers that supply a phone number and SMS support for use while in Ethiopia include Esimtofly, LinkeSIM, Orange Travel, Earth Esim, GlobaleSIM (several packages), Roamify, and TravelKon. All of these plans provide a foreign dialing code—+33 for most packages (a French number) or +1 for the GlobaleSIM offers—which enables inbound and outbound voice calls and inbound/outbound SMS for most entries (the GlobaleSIM packages provide SMS inbound only). Prices start around $19.90 and can rise to about $53, while validity ranges from 7 days to 31 days.
Because none of the available plans issue a local Ethiopian number with the dialing code +251, travelers who need a local number must rely on data‑only eSIMs and use VoIP applications for voice and messaging over the data connection.
