🇪🇹 How to Send a Fax to Ethiopia From the United States
Choose Ethiopia (+251) on our homepage, type the fax number without its first 0, and pay $6.99 for up to 3 pages, with $0.99 for each extra page. An Addis Ababa number written 011 123 4567 is typed as 111234567, which is 9 digits. You do not need an account, and a fax that cannot be delivered is refunded automatically.
How to type an Ethiopian fax number in our box
Ethiopian numbers are written at home with a 0 in front, and that 0 is only used for calls inside Ethiopia. When you send from the United States, the +251 country code is added for you as soon as you choose Ethiopia, so you type the rest of the number without the 0. What you type should always be exactly 9 digits: a 2 digit area code followed by a 7 digit number.
| City | Written in Ethiopia | Type in our box |
|---|---|---|
| Addis Ababa | 011 123 4567 | 111234567 |
| Dire Dawa | 025 111 2345 | 251112345 |
| Bahir Dar | 058 220 1234 | 582201234 |
| Hawassa | 046 220 5678 | 462205678 |
These area codes come from the Ethiopian national numbering plan as published by the International Telecommunication Union. If the number you were given has 10 digits after you remove the spaces, the 0 is probably still there. If someone wrote it as +251 11 123 4567, simply type everything after +251.
What a fax to Ethiopia costs
The price for Ethiopia is $6.99 and it covers up to 3 pages. Every page after the third adds $0.99, and the total is shown on the screen before you pay, so there is nothing to work out in advance. As an example, a 5 page fax costs $6.99 for the first three pages plus 2 × $0.99 for the other two, which comes to $8.97. A 10 page packet comes to $13.92.
There is no subscription and no monthly charge. You pay once for the fax you are sending, and if it cannot be delivered, the full amount goes back to your card without you having to ask.

Who in the US sends faxes to Ethiopia
Most people who use this page are sending a signed form or a letter to an office that asked for it by fax. That can be a bank, a university registrar, a law office, a business partner, or a government office. If you are dealing with an Ethiopian embassy or consulate, take the fax number from that office's own official website on the day you send, because contact details for these offices can change.
What to put on your cover page
A short cover page helps the fax reach the right desk. Write the name of the person or department, the name of the organization, and the fax number exactly as they gave it to you. Add your own full name, your email address, and a US phone number written with +1 in front so it can be dialed from Ethiopia. Finish with the number of pages and one or two sentences that say what the documents are, for example a reference or file number that the office gave you.
If the fax to Ethiopia does not go through
When a fax fails, the cause is usually the number. Check that you removed the first 0 and that you typed 9 digits. Make sure the number is a fax line and not an ordinary phone, since a phone that answers with a voice cannot receive a fax. A busy line or a fax machine that is switched off can also stop a delivery, so it helps to send during office hours in Ethiopia, which are several hours ahead of the United States. Look up the current time in Addis Ababa before you send.
Delivery usually takes a few minutes, and some international routes can take up to about 30 minutes. If the fax cannot be delivered, you receive an email and your payment is refunded automatically. You can then check the number with the recipient and send again.
Getting a fax back from Ethiopia
If the office in Ethiopia needs to send you something in return, GetAFax.com gives you a private US fax number for 24 hours for $5. It can receive up to 30 pages, and each fax arrives in your email as a PDF. Give the office that number written with +1 in front.
