How to send airtime and data
to Ethiopia from the US.
Whether you want to top up a family member's Ethio Telecom line or send them a mobile data bundle — here's exactly how it works, and what it actually costs.
It lands on their line before you've put your phone down.
Beamline delivers airtime top-ups and mobile data bundles directly through Ethio Telecom — the same network your family's phone already runs on. You pick an amount or a data bundle, see the exact total (including Beamline's small service fee) before confirming, and it arrives instantly. The recipient doesn't need Beamline installed, an account, or anything else — just their phone number.
Three steps, start to finish.
