Why use an Ethiopia number for Signal?
Day-to-day life in Ethiopia runs on Telegram, Telebirr and Facebook, yet Signal remains the app for private conversations without exposing your personal number. A +251 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Addis Ababa diplomacy hub: Staff linked to the African Union and UN agencies in Addis Ababa use a local number for day-to-day contact.
Signal identities are tied to the number; losing it means losing the registration.
