Rivo eSIM offers prepaid data plans for Ethiopia on local 4G/5G networks, starting from AED 80.76. Your plan only starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Ethiopia, so you can install it days before departure and keep the line switched off until you arrive.

Before you buy

Check that your phone supports eSIM and is carrier-unlocked. This is a data-only eSIM — calls work through apps like WhatsApp.

Save maps of Ethiopia before your trip so you can find your way even without data.

Frequently asked questions about Ethiopia eSIM

Which mobile networks does a Ethiopia eSIM use?
Our Ethiopia plans use Local networks. Your phone connects automatically to the best available signal.
How much data do I need for a week in Ethiopia?
For maps, messages and social media, 3 to 5 GB is usually enough for a week. If you stream video or share your connection, choose 10 GB or an unlimited plan.
When does my Ethiopia plan start?
Validity starts when the eSIM first connects to a network in Ethiopia, not when you buy or install it. Install it on Wi-Fi before your trip and turn the line on when you land.
Can I keep my phone number in Ethiopia?
Yes. The eSIM is for data only and your usual SIM stays active for calls and SMS. You can also call with WhatsApp or FaceTime over the eSIM data.

In most cases, yes: you pay a fixed prepaid price with no roaming surprises, and plans for Ethiopia start from AED 80.76.
