The number
What sending to Ethiopia costs.

On the rate card Ethiopia sits at #233 of 236 by price — 3 destinations cost more and 232 cost less. The floor for any route is $0.0030. Every destination is on the full rate card.
Sender ID
Alphanumeric sender IDs are carried.
Set the name your message arrives from — up to 11 characters, chosen per campaign, in the composer or in the API's from field. On Ethiopia the route carries it as set, and there is no registration step on our side or anyone else's.
Replies
Ethiopia is send-only. No inbound number is available to us on that network, so there is nowhere for a reply to arrive — an alphanumeric sender ID is a label, not a number. Replies work on 49 other destinations.
Numbers
The country calling code for Ethiopia is +251. Submit recipients in full international form — +25100000012345 — and the platform matches each number against the same prefix table it routes with. Numbers resolving to no priced destination are stripped before anything is billed, rather than charged and quietly dropped.
Africa
Other destinations in the same region.
Cheapest first. Campaigns rarely stop at one border, and a batch mixing these with Ethiopia is billed at each destination's own rate inside the same call.

Questions
Sending to Ethiopia, specifically.
How much does it cost to send an SMS to Ethiopia?
$0.1063 per message segment, billed from prepaid credit in USD. A thousand single-segment messages is $106.30. The cheapest published no-KYC rate we found for Ethiopia is $0.2170, so this is 51% under it.
Do I need to verify my identity to send SMS to Ethiopia?
No. There is no ID check, no company registration and no tax number — and no email address or password either. Your browser generates a token, that token is the account, and we store only its hash. Nothing about you is asked for at any point.
Can I use my own sender ID in Ethiopia?
Yes. Alphanumeric sender IDs of up to 11 characters are carried as set on this route, chosen per campaign, with no pre-registration.
Can recipients in Ethiopia reply to my messages?
Not currently. Ethiopia is send-only here because no inbound number is available to us on that network. Replies work on 49 other destinations.
What is the country code for Ethiopia?
+251. Submit recipients in full international E.164 form, for example +25100000012345. Numbers that do not resolve to a destination we price are rejected before anything is billed.
How fast can I start sending to Ethiopia?
About four minutes: generate a token, fund it with at least $40 in crypto — roughly 376 segments to Ethiopia — and send from the dashboard or with one POST. Nothing is queued for approval, because there is no approval step.
