In this guide, I will go over everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Ethiopia. Let’s get this done. Original publication: 16th of June 2020. Last updated: 30th of July 2021.

You can expect to pay the following for Ethiopian SIM cards: Ethio Telecom: 30 ETB Can You Use Your Phone in Ethiopia? Ethiopia uses GSM for its cellular communications, meaning that you need a GSM-capable phone to use your phone in the country. Fortunately, there is about a 99% chance your phone supports GSM. Traditional European frequencies are used in Ethiopia, which are mostly used in ITU Regions 1 & 3 (Africa, Asia (including the Middle East), Europe & Oceania). The Americas (North-, Central– & South America + the Caribbean – ITU Region 2) use American Frequencies, which differ from the European ones. By Maximilian Dörrbecker (Chumwa) – Own work, using this file by Denelson83, CC BY-SA 2.5 If you bought your phone in Africa, Asia, Europe, or Oceania (ITU regions 1 & 3), you should not experience any issues with using your phone in Ethiopia. If you purchased your phone in the Americas (ITU Region 2) and have a low/medium-end device (without Tri-Band or Quad-Band) support, then there is a possibility you cannot use your phone when in Ethiopia or can only on 2G. If you have a medium/high-end device with Tri-Band or Quad-Band support, you can use your phone in Ethiopia - even on 4G/LTE. Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies in Ethiopia © OpenClipart-Vectors Ethiopia has one mobile network operator: Ethiopia Telecom The following frequencies are used in Ethiopia: 2G: 900 MHz3G: 2100 MHz4G/LTE: 1800 MHz (Band 3) You can learn more about frequencies in the video below. Cannot see the video above? Watch it here or on YouTube. To check whether your phone will work in Ethiopia, check out this page by Will My Phone Work (may be outdated or inaccurate at times). Again, make sure your phone is unlocked. Otherwise, you will not be able to use any SIM card except the one from your home operator (meaning you have to roam internationally or buy another unlocked phone that does support the frequencies listed above). If you want to learn how international roaming works, this guide explains it in-depth. If you wonder why it is often so expensive to roam, this article explains the hidden reason they do not want you to know. 5G NR in Ethiopia © Mohamed Hassan 5G is not available in Ethiopia as of 2021, and the Ethiopian government has not made any indications of when they will auction 5G licenses. Best SIM Card in Ethiopia If you want to buy the best SIM Card in Ethiopia, then Ethio Telecom is your only option. It is the only mobile operator in Ethiopia. SIM Card Registration in Ethiopia SIM card registration, with the use of your passport information, is mandatory in Ethiopia. This will be done at the point of purchase. Moreover, you should bring two passport-sized photos to the Ethio Telecom store to speed up the registration process. Not all Ethio Telecom stores have the necessary equipment to take pictures of you. Ethiopia Mobile Speeds, Mobile Internet Prices & Insights Africa can be a hit or miss in terms of mobile data rates. In some countries, the cost of mobile data is practically nothing. While in other nations, mobile data places are unaffordable for basically anyone. Luckily for Ethiopia, the average cost of mobile data has stayed at reasonable levels over the years, even when considering that there is a monopoly in the country. The average price for 1 GB of data in Ethiopia is 1.71 USD, far below the African average of 5.80 USD. The world average is 4.07 USD. Source There are only 24 African nations where the average cost of 1 GB of data is below 2 USD, so Ethiopia is doing well. Source Okay, mobile data rates are reasonable. But what about speeds? Ethiopia's average mobile download speed is around 22 Mbps. Source Source When you compare that to the global average, you may think this is extremely slow. I would not fault you for that - Ethiopia's average is less than half the global average. But the thing is, mobile internet speeds in Africa are not known for being fast in general. At the time of writing, the African country with the fastest mobile download speed is South Africa (45 Mbps). Also below the global average, but somewhat close. Many more African nations have speeds Ethiopia offers or are slower, so do not get too demotivated quickly. Remember when I said that Ethio Telecom has a monopoly on the telecommunications market in the country? Not for long. The Ethiopian government has issued a license to Global Partnership, a consortium compromising of Safaricom (Kenya), Vodafone Group (from the United Kingdom and active worldwide), Vodacom Group (from South Africa and active throughout Africa), and Sumitomo Corporation (Japan). The MTN Group (from South Africa) lost on this bid, but they are not giving up hope. Luckily for MTN, the Ethiopian government is interested in issuing another license in the near future. Then, there will be three players in Ethiopia. For now, you have to deal with Ethio Telecom. With low SIM card prices, low cost for mobile data, slower-end mobile internet speeds, and fair nationwide coverage, you should have a good network experience in Ethiopia. Currency in Ethiopia © National Bank of Ethiopia Ethiopia uses the Ethiopian Birr with the symbol ETB (which will be used throughout this article). However, prices are often listed as just Br. For example, 25 ETB = Br. 25. For reference, below are some exchange rates between ETB and USD (US Dollars): 1 ETB = 0.02 USD10 ETB = 0.25 USD100 ETB = 2.25 USD1000 ETB = 22.60 USD10 000 ETB = 225.75 USD For up-to-date ETB:USD exchange rates, search ETB to USD on Google, or replace USD with the currency you use. If your credit/debit card charges you foreign exchange fees, get yourself a Wise Borderless Account and Debit Card. Their fees are MUCH lower than banks, and credit card companies charge you (and Wise is transparent about their fees, unlike banks). I have saved literal THOUSANDS of Euros, my main currency, when using Wise abroad when traveling compared to my debit and credit cards. Open a Wise account FREE!

Ethio Telecom © Ethio Telecom Ethio Telecom is, for now, the sole mobile operator in Ethiopia. The company is also the largest telecom operator with a monopoly worldwide. It is a government-run entity. From 2010 to 2013, Ethio Telecom was run by France Télécom (Orange) until the Ethiopian government stated that the outsourcing of the management did not meet its demands. Since then, it has been in government ownership again. In 2020, it was announced that the Ministry of Finance wants to sell a minority stake of Ethio Telecom. In June 2021, the Expression of Interest (EoI) was announced by the Ethiopian government. France Télécom (Orange) seems to be ready for round two for entering the Ethiopian telecom market because it was the first to express interest in Ethio Telecom's stake. Ethio Telecom uses the following frequencies: 2G: 900 MHz3G: 2100 MHz4G/LTE: 1800 MHz (Band 3) This is what you will learn about Ethio Telecom:* Coverage* How to Get an Ethio Telecom SIM Card & SIM Card Price* Topping Up Options & Methods + Balance Check* Plans & Packages* APN/Internet SettingsClick on the links above to jump to the section you are interested in Coverage – Ethio Telecom Ethio Telecom has fair coverage throughout the country. 4G/LTE is close to non-existent throughout the country. Although mobile coverage is great in Addis Ababa, it is good in cities. However, outside of urban areas, reception can mostly be found around the main roads. Below is Ethio Telecom's coverage map: Source SIM Card Price – Ethio Telecom You can get an Ethio Telecom Telecom SIM card for 30 ETB with 15 ETB in credit and 100 MB every month for the first 3 months in Ethio Telecom stores. It is also possible to get SIM cards at Addis Ababa Bole International Airport at steep premiums. Ethio Telecom SIM cards get deactivated if there has been no activity for 480 days (no top-up for 480 days or no activity for 480 days). However, there are a few steps the deactivation process goes through first. First 120 days – normal use: you can use your Ethio Telecom SIM card without restrictions.

However, for some, getting local SIM cards is not an option. For example, if you have a SIM-locked device. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhLfhARWaJ0 Luckily, there are other ways to get online when in Ethiopia. However, these methods may be more expensive than getting a SIM card from the local operator. International Roaming International roaming is the most convenient way to stay connected when traveling in other countries because you do not have to buy a new SIM card, have to deal with SIM card registration regulations, nor have multiple phone numbers to deal with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X7xGPry-Tc However, international roaming has proven to be expensive in many cases, especially compared to buying local SIM cards. That is why many travelers are not fond of international roaming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNXUQnX3Uww International roaming has its pros and cons. However, it is important to know how it works. This in-depth guide explains it all. Find out whether your mobile operator has attractive roaming rates for Ethiopia here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSKtHeE0rVg Using an International SIM Card or Travel SIM Card International SIM cards are SIM cards made for the traveler in mind. Using them is often cheaper than international roaming. However, they are almost always more expensive than using a local SIM card. There are many other advantages and disadvantages of getting international SIM cards, which you can learn about here. Using a Mobile Hotspot (Pocket WIFI) Mobile hotspots, or pocket WIFI, are small devices that connect to the local operators of the country you are visiting. Mobile hotspots are ideal for families or those traveling in a large group, as they allow you to connect multiple devices to one hotspot without the need of each traveler having to buy a SIM card. You can either buy a mobile hotspot or rent one. Using Free WIFI Networks Using free WIFI connections is the cheapest way to stay connected because they are free. The major downside of trying to use WIFI hotspots is that you will have to locate them, and they are not available on every corner in Ethiopia. Make sure to protect your internet traffic with a VPN so that hackers cannot steal your personal data.
