Ethiopia mobile top-up from the US: Ethio telecom and Safaricom
An Ethiopia mobile top-up with ReloadTo takes a couple of minutes online: if your family or friends use Ethio telecom or Safaricom, you can send airtime or data bundles to their Ethiopian prepaid phone from the United States, with no physical cards and no account with the carrier. Amounts range from $0.43 to $19.64 USD, depending on the carrier and the product you choose. Many people also search for "send airtime to Ethiopia".
Before you start: how to write an Ethiopian mobile number
Ethiopia's country code is +251. Inside Ethiopia, mobile numbers are written with a leading 0 and 10 digits in total: Ethio telecom numbers start with 09 and Safaricom numbers with 07, for example 0911 23 4567. From abroad, the 0 is dropped and +251 goes in front, leaving 9 digits.
- How your relative writes it: 0911 23 4567.
- How you write it from abroad: +251 911 23 4567.
Remove the first 0 and check the 9 digits after +251 before you pay. A number that starts with 07 is a Safaricom line; one that starts with 09 is Ethio telecom.
