Where to use Your Mobile Telephone?
You can use your mobile telephone anywhere you go as long as there is GSM Coverage in that area. ETHIO-MOBILE covers Addis Ababa and its surroundings, Debrezeit, Nazareth, Mojo and Sodere in its first phase of implementation and will expand the service in successive stages to the major administrative and economic centers of the country.
It looks like they have just two towers. Probably a good place to have a Thuraya phone.

Ed.: I should have said "just a few towers".

yeah, Thuraya seems to be a good choice there. Unfortunately Ethiopia is not in the coverage for the ECO-SIM. The regular one is a bit more expensive - but still better than no phone at all.

I was trying to figure out the charges for their prepaid service but the numbers don't make sense. Are those phone number ranges they list? (e.g. "400000 - 419999") Anyway USD 1.00 is about Birr 10.0
