## Verified Traveler Reviews (4.5/5 ★)

- **worked right away at ET International Flight Concourse airport** (5/5 ★ by Liam Bennett, 2026-10-26 - *3 GB · 15 Days*): "setup took less than a minute from the email qr code, didnt even need an app. The second we landed at ET International Flight Concourse my phone connected to Safaricom 5G before we even got off the plane. so much better than paying $12/day for my home carrier roaming!"
- **Prisvärt eSIM för Ethiopia, mycket billigare än roaming** (4/5 ★ by Alice J., 2026-10-26 - *3 GB · 30 Days*): "Skannade QR-koden hemma kvällen innan flyget, tog knappt en minut. Stark signal med Safaricom både inne i Ethiopia Central Business District och på väg mot Ethiopia Express Highway Hub. På landsbygden bortom Ethiopia Metropolitan Coastal Zone växlade det till 4G LTE, men inne i städerna var det supersnabbt."
