Common questions about this calling route.
Dial 011 + 251 + area code + local number. For Addis Ababa, the area code is 11. For mobile numbers, drop the leading 0 (e.g., 091 becomes 91).
Ethiopia's state-run Ethio Telecom sets high termination rates. TwinPhone at $0.08-$0.10/min is still significantly cheaper than the $0.35/min charged by most US carriers.
Mobile coverage in Ethiopian cities (Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa) is good. Rural areas can be spotty. Most Ethiopians use mobile phones, so expect to call mobile numbers most often.
