There are over 45 travel eSIM providers and more than 350 prepaid data plans available for Ethiopia, offering a wide variety of options that make it easy for travelers to find an eSIM that suits their needs.
Yes, some eSIM providers offer unlimited data options that can be used in Ethiopia. One such provider offers unlimited data for validity periods ranging from one to thirty days, with prices between roughly $10 and $400 USD. These plans include tethering and are delivered over 3G, 4G, and 5G networks, though the speed may be throttled during high traffic periods. The provider currently offers sixteen different plans with this unlimited data feature, allowing travelers to choose a package that best fits the duration of their stay and 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.
