Customer Service not responding. This is scam.
There are about 35 travel eSIM brands available for use in Ethiopia and more than 250 prepaid data plans. With a wide variety of plans, travelers can easily find an eSIM that meets their needs.
A provider that offers an unlimited data eSIM for Ethiopia is Truely. Their plans allow usage for 1 to 30 days, price ranges from roughly $7.92 up to $399.00 USD depending on the chosen validity period. The unlimited allowance is subject to potential speed throttling and supports tethering, while the network is based on 3G and 4G services. No other providers listed provide a truly unlimited data option for Ethiopia.
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.
