It looks like they have just two towers. Probably a good place to have a Thuraya phone.

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
