Customer Service not responding. This is scam.
There are roughly 35 travel eSIM providers and about 300 prepaid data plans available for Ethiopia. A wide variety of options makes it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.
Yes, Ethiopia has an unlimited data eSIM option. The provider Truely offers plans that give unlimited data for validity periods ranging from one to thirty days at prices from about $7.92 up to $399.00 USD. The unlimited plans are available on 3G and 4G networks and include tethering, but note that speed may be throttled depending on usage. The available bandwidth varies, so travelers should consider how much data they need overall and choose a plan that covers their intended activities while keeping within the price range specified above.
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 plans that come with a phone number and support for voice calls and SMS are offered for Ethiopia by GlobaleSIM and Roamify.
GlobaleSIM provides numbers with the dialing code +1 and offers inbound and outbound voice, with SMS available only inbound, while Roamify offers numbers with the dialing code +33 and provides inbound and outbound voice as well as inbound and outbound SMS. Both providers use foreign dialing codes – +1 is not Ethiopia’s code (+251) and +33 is also a foreign code – so no plan supplies a local Ethiopian phone number. Prices for these offers start at roughly $26 and go up to about $53, and validity periods range from 7 days to 30 days.
