Where to get prepaid roaming?

No need to visit our service centers. Just make sure data roaming is turned on and have enough airtime or take voucher card with you.

  • 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.
