Country code +251: how to call Ethiopia and its number format.
Enter it with the country code +251. A number written locally as 091 123 4567 becomes +251 91 123 4567, so drop the leading 0 after the country code. Ethiopian mobile numbers have 9 digits after the country code. The example is a format guide, not a real number.
Enter the number with the country code, pick a plan and pay by card. The operator is detected automatically and the credit goes straight to the phone. You do not need an account or a bank account in Ethiopia.
