Giga.Tel eSIM Data Plans for Ethiopia

Giga.Tel does not provide an unlimited data eSIM plan for travelers in Ethiopia.
Instead, the provider offers fixed‑data plans with caps of 20GB, 30GB, 50GB, and 15GB that are valid for 30 days. These plans include 5G network access and, for most options, tethering is allowed. Choosing a fixed‑data plan can be more cost effective, especially for users who consume large but not unlimited amounts of data.

Giga.Tel’s eSIM products for Ethiopia provide only high‑speed data, with no phone number or SMS capability. All available plans give access to the internet through 4G or 5G networks, but they do not support inbound or outbound voice calls or text messages.

Travelers can use VoIP applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage over the data connection for calls and messaging. However, these apps may be blocked or restricted in some destinations, so it is advisable to confirm their accessibility in Ethiopia before purchasing an eSIM.

On the eSIMDB database Giga.Tel has listed 11 single‑country plans and 9 multi‑country plans that can be used in Ethiopia. These options cover a broad spectrum, ranging from low‑cost bundles of 100 MB at about $2 to premium offerings of 50 GB for roughly $136. The catalog includes both fixed‑data bundles and daily or unlimited‑through‑validity packages, while several of the plans allow tethering. In total, travellers can choose from twenty distinct data packages for Ethiopia, with prices and data caps spanning the full range documented above.
