Customer Service not responding. This is scam.
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.
Unlimited data eSIM plans are currently offered by Truely for travelers in Ethiopia. Their unlimited plans are available for 1 to 30‑day validity periods and can be purchased for anywhere between $9.90 and $399.00 USD. Although the data allowance is unlimited, speeds may be throttled or capped after a certain amount of high‑bandwidth usage, so users should keep that in mind when planning their connectivity needs.
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).
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.
