Ethiopia is Africa's second most populous country, and one state company held its internet for a long time. Resi Prime routes to Addis Ababa, Adama, Hawassa or Bahir Dar, while Resi Core goes through Ethiopian IPs across the country. One balance funds both; the traffic expires after three months.


Pool figures as of October 2026, rounded down.
Ethiopia is home to around 112 million people. Besides Addis Ababa, the big cities are Dire Dawa, Gondar, Mekelle, Adama and Hawassa. The country has its own calendar with 13 months a year. Money moves through Telebirr and M-Pesa, and goods are found on Jiji and Qefira.
The country is divided into regions based on languages and peoples, plus two chartered cities: Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa. In recent years several new regions were carved out of the Southern region, so the map shows the earlier 11 units. Oromia and Amhara in the highlands hold the most people.
A Resi Prime line takes one of four regions or a city: Addis Ababa, Adama, Hawassa or Bahir Dar. For the whole country, the code ET is enough.
For many years Ethio Telecom was the only operator, and in 2022 Safaricom Ethiopia launched alongside it. Home internet still belongs mostly to Ethio Telecom. Resi Prime has two networks, and you choose by AS number.
Local platforms and the right plan for each.

Jiji, Qefira and Ethiojobs serve the same pages countrywide, so Resi Core is enough. Open taxis, delivery and local search through Resi Prime in Addis Ababa.
Approximate use for the first month.
Cars in Ethiopia are expensive, and sellers often edit the price. Resi Core rotation crawls the listings without blocks, and 10 GB covers a month.
Job pages are light. A daily pull of salaries and requirements fits in 5 GB.
Ride and Feres price by pickup point. Resi Prime in the capital shows fares as a passenger sees them.
Results in Amharic and English differ noticeably. Resi Prime in the right city shows a site's rankings to a local reader.

Connectivity has been cut more than once: Tigray had none from late 2020 to late 2022, and mobile internet in Amhara was shut in 2023. Before working, check that the region you need responds.
Sites write in Ge'ez script and often give dates in the Ethiopian calendar, which runs seven or eight years behind the Gregorian. Account for that when parsing dates in listings.
Ethiopian entries in the open list can be counted on one hand. To test code, the shared list is enough; work needs a home address.
In 2024 Ethiopia adopted a personal data protection proclamation. Open prices and job ads are fine to collect; personal data needs a legal ground.
Ethiopian addresses are rare in the free list. Kenya and Uganda offer nearby exits.
