Frequently asked questions
How much does an eSIM for Ethiopia cost?
Plans for Ethiopia start at $12 in the FoxySim app, with 2 options up to 3 gb of data. Every plan is prepaid with no subscription.
When does my Ethiopia eSIM activate?
The plan activates the first time it connects to a network in Ethiopia. Install it at home before you travel; the validity period only starts when you arrive.
Can I keep my own number in Ethiopia?
Yes. The eSIM is a second line for data only. Your physical SIM stays in the phone, so calls, texts and WhatsApp keep working on your usual number.
Can I top up my Ethiopia eSIM?
Yes. Open the eSIM in the app and choose Top up. Extra data is added to the same eSIM, so there is nothing new to install.
Which phones work?
Any carrier-unlocked phone with eSIM support: iPhone XS and newer, Pixel 3 and newer, and recent Samsung Galaxy models. The app checks your device before purchase.
