Where to get prepaid roaming?
- Visit the nearest Ethio telecom shop to register for the service before your travel.
- You would be expected to bring your passport/national ID, an official requesting letter and ETB 10,000 deposit.
- If you are a business customer (except key account), you also need to submit a signed and stamped roaming agreement form.
- Upon arrival a list of available networks will automatically be displayed on your phone: from those do make sure to select the preferred/ discounted network before you start using. We also strongly advise customers to use data roaming only on preferred operators’ network to avoid unexpected service bill.
- Set your data APN as et.com (not etc.com) for smooth data roaming.
- The tariff is based on the destination operator tariff. Please check for the availability of preferred networks with discounted rate agreements below.
- To call back home replace the first ‘0’ with ‘+251’ and put in the rest as you would when making a call here. i.e. ‘0911******’ would be ‘+251 911******’ and ‘0116******’ would be ‘+251 116******’ etc.
