United KingdomEthiopia eSIM: common questions
Which networks does a Ethiopia eSIM use?
One local network: Safaricom.
Is there 5G on a Ethiopia eSIM?
Yes, on Safaricom. Where there's no 5G, or your phone doesn't support it, the eSIM uses 4G. Each plan's speed is on its card.
Does a Ethiopia eSIM come with a phone number?
No. The eSIM is data only: no phone number, no voice and no SMS. Your own number keeps working on your usual SIM, and calls over WhatsApp, FaceTime and the like run over the data.
Can I use a Ethiopia eSIM as a hotspot?
On many networks it works, but no plan promises it. Some networks block sharing the connection or slow it down.
When does a Ethiopia eSIM's validity start?
Not when you buy it: when you first connect at your destination. You can install the eSIM before you leave, within the window its page shows.
Can I add data to a Ethiopia eSIM later?
Yes, every plan can be topped up. The eSIM's page has a “Top up” button, and the data loads onto the same eSIM with nothing to install.
Which country does a Ethiopia eSIM's traffic exit from?
United Kingdom. Websites you visit will see you there.
How much is a Ethiopia eSIM?
The 11 local plans for Ethiopia cost $7.99 to $113.49. The lowest price per GB is $5.55, on the 10 GB plan.
