FootySIMs eSIM Data Plans for Ethiopia

FootySIMs does not offer a truly unlimited high‑speed data eSIM for Ethiopia. The only plan carrying the “Unlimited” designation provides 1 GB of high‑speed data per day for 7 days and throttles speeds to 512 kbps once that daily cap is reached. Travelers who require unrestricted high‑speed data would need to opt for a fixed‑data plan instead.

Fixed‑data options are available and offer predictable data allowances. For instance, a 5 GB plan valid for 30 days costs $64.57, while a 1 GB plan valid for 7 days costs $16.32. These plans avoid the speed reduction that occurs after a daily limit, making them more suitable for users who want consistent performance throughout their stay.

FootySIMs does not provide an Ethiopia eSIM that includes a local phone number or SMS capability. The available plans are data‑only, allowing users to connect to the internet for activities such as browsing, streaming, and using VoIP applications. To make voice or text calls while traveling, you can rely on internet‑based services like WhatsApp, Telegram, or iMessage, which work over the data connection without needing a local phone number.

FootySIMs offers three single‑country data plans for Ethiopia, with no multi‑country options available. The plans range in price from about $16.59 to $121.62 and provide data capacities between 1 GB and 5 GB. Among the three plans, two are fixed data‑cap offerings while one is a daily‑data‑cap plan, allowing a set amount of data each day. The plans also allow tethering, though the speed is capped at 512 kbps for those that apply the reduced speed option.
