A 1 GB plan costs $1.23 on 15 October 2026. Test your business applications and authorised retail observations around Addis Ababa. Ethio telecom and Safaricom Ethiopia provide the local mobile context. Match sessions to your menu and basket workflow. ## Your Ethiopia starting point | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Country setting | ET — Ethiopia | | Main mobile operators | Ethio telecom; Safaricom Ethiopia | | Retail example | Deliver Addis restaurant menus | | Local currency | Ethiopian birr | | 1 GB plan | $1.23 | ## Make Addis menu comparisons useful Keep a restaurant's displayed menu and the delivery service's listing separate. Deliver Addis explains that its online selection can omit dishes that are frequently unavailable or unsuitable for delivery. A shorter online menu therefore needs a different explanation from a changed price. Its FAQ also limits each order to one restaurant. For authorised menu research, compare the same restaurant, dish, portion and observation time. Put any visible delivery charge in another field. This gives your team an actionable comparison between the advertised food and the cost of fulfilment, rather than a basket assembled from unrelated kitchens. ## Review your Amharic and English interfaces Use the Ethiopia route to check the pages your business actually serves. Start with a restaurant landing page, catalogue or delivery-area selector in your own application. Keep the basket fixture fixed while you change its language. Review Ethiopic text rendering, mixed-script product names, long address labels and the space around a birr amount. Keep the original amount as well as any translated display. A formatting change should not silently become a currency conversion. Test the language options your product supports; an Ethiopian network address does not choose the browser language or supply a customer's delivery destination. ## Run a focused Ethiopian application check 1. **Prepare an Addis Ababa fixture** — Choose a synthetic delivery destination approved by your application team. Set the same menu items and portions for each run. Record whether the interface requests a district, landmark or building description. 2. **Check the local route** — Select ET, load your own diagnostic page and note the returned country. If Addis Ababa is essential, check city availability before running the full sequence. Keep the observed city with the result. 3. **Review the pre-payment journey** — Compare the menu, basket, delivery estimate and confirmation copy in your authorised environment. Stop before live payment pages. Your app's sandbox lets you reproduce a display issue without placing a merchant order. ## Choose the network view and session Ethio telecom and Safaricom Ethiopia are the mobile references for this market. Their 2026 publications describe active local services and continuing network development. Our proxies use IP addresses from the main mobile operators in each covered country. City and specific network availability varies. For a connected menu-to-basket journey, a sticky session can keep the network viewpoint together. For separate page observations, use rotating connections and record each sample independently. The guide to [rotation and sticky sessions](/guides/rotation-vs-sticky/) explains the connection behaviour. An application cookie and a proxy session serve different purposes: keep both settings in your test notes so the team can reproduce the journey. ## Keep search locale separate from the domain Google lists google.com.et among its country domains. Its April 2025 announcement says traffic from country domains will redirect to google.com. A familiar Ethiopian suffix is therefore not a complete localisation setting. For a local content review, record the visible language and region alongside the page you are assessing. Use an approved research channel for search observations. For your own application QA, keep the entry URL stable and change only the Ethiopian route or language fixture you intend to test. ## Start with a small traffic plan On 15 October 2026, 1 GB costs $1.23 and 10 GB costs $5.94. The minimum balance top-up is $25; it is separate from the price of the plan you buy. No KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents to sign up, top up or buy. Measure one representative menu and basket sequence before budgeting a repeat run. Include images and other resources your tool loads. Supported protocols: HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5. Choose the browser or application tool that suits your project. > **Payment eligibility** The National Bank of Ethiopia's 27 February 2026 notice prohibits birr-paired peer-to-peer crypto trades; review the rules for your own transaction and residence before funding an account. ## Ethiopia residential proxy questions ### Can I use the plan for an Addis Ababa test? Yes. Select Ethiopia for the country route and check an Addis Ababa requirement before the test. City availability varies. Use a destination fixture in your own application as well: the exit country does not fill in a restaurant's delivery form or decide which kitchen serves an address. ### How long can a sticky session last? Sticky sessions keep the same IP for the time you set (ttl, in minutes), up to 30 minutes. The IP can change earlier, for example if the residential device goes offline. Keep a short menu-and-basket check within the time you select. If the network address changes during the run, mark that observation and repeat the affected step so it remains useful to your QA team. ## Primary references checked on 15 October 2026 1.
