Pata SIM kadi

Nunua SIM ya ndani uwanjani mwa ndege ukiwa na pasipoti yako. Ethiopia ina mitandao miwili: Ethio Telecom (inayomilikiwa na serikali, yenye mtandao mpana zaidi, ikiwemo maeneo ya vijijini) na Safaricom Ethiopia (mpya zaidi, yenye nguvu zaidi mijini na kando ya njia kuu). Wasafiri wengi huchukua kifurushi cha wageni cha Safaricom kwa ziara fupi na Ethio Telecom kwa maeneo ya mbali.

SIM kadi za ndani

Bei kwa dola za Marekani pamoja na kiasi sawa kwa birr kwa kiwango cha benki cha leo (takriban Br 162 kwa $1), kama zilivyosomwa kwenye tovuti ya kila mtoa huduma.

Safaricom Ethiopia

Pesa za simu: M-PESA

Ina nguvu zaidi Addis na kando ya barabara kuu. Vifurushi vya wageni vinajumuisha data, simu, SMS na muda wa maongezi.

Duka la Safaricom katika Uwanja wa Ndege wa Kimataifa wa Bole (eneo la wanaowasili). Leta pasipoti yako.

Au pata eSIM kabla ya kusafiri

eSIM inafanya kazi mara tu unapotua, kabla hujafika kwenye kaunta. Zote tatu zinatumia mtandao wa Safaricom nchini Ethiopia na zinagharimu zaidi kwa kila GB kuliko SIM ya ndani.

Ethio Telecom pia huuza eSIM yake, lakini katika maduka yake tu, bado si mtandaoni; hatukupata eSIM ya mtandaoni kutoka Safaricom. Ili kuwa umeunganishwa kabla hujatua, tumia eSIM ya safari.

Wafanyakazi husajili SIM kwa jina lako na kuiwasha. Tenga dakika 10–30.
Ijaribu kabla ya kuondoka: piga simu na fungua ukurasa wa wavuti.

Maswali ambayo watu huuliza

What do I need to buy a SIM card in Ethiopia?

Your passport. Staff register the SIM in your name at purchase, and some city shops also ask for a photocopy or a passport photo. Allow 10 to 30 minutes for registration and activation.

Where can I buy a SIM card at Addis Ababa airport?

At Bole Airport, before you leave the terminal. Ethio Telecom has a counter in the baggage hall, and Safaricom Ethiopia has a shop at the airport.

How much is the Safaricom visitor pack in Ethiopia?

Safaricom Ethiopia's visitor packs are paid in USD or EUR at the airport shop: 7 days for $10 (20 GB) or $20 (35 GB), or 30 days for $30 (50 GB) or $40 (65 GB). Each includes call and SMS minutes.

Which has better coverage in Ethiopia, Ethio Telecom or Safaricom?

Ethio Telecom has the widest national coverage, including rural and remote areas. Safaricom Ethiopia is growing and is best in Addis, regional cities and main roads.

Does an eSIM work in Ethiopia?

Yes, international eSIM apps sell data-only plans for Ethiopia that work for maps and messaging. Most give you no local phone number, so you can't receive local SMS codes for ride-hailing apps or telebirr. A physical local SIM is better if you'll book rides or pay by phone.

Is there 4G mobile internet across Ethiopia?

Expect good 4G in Addis Ababa and most regional capitals. Signal drops in mountains, national parks and remote areas such as the Danakil and the Omo Valley, and some areas have no coverage at all, so download an offline map.
