Step by step
How to verify Uber with an Ethiopia number
One Uber code on a +251 number costs $0.71 — the 42nd cheapest of 54 countries in Africa. Full Uber walkthrough and troubleshooting: Uber verification guide.
Get your Ethiopia number
Sign up with an email, top up with USDT or USDC and pick Ethiopia: a plan to keep the +251 number, or a single-use Uber OTP number ($0.71).
Open Uber
Go to the first screen of the Uber app (“Enter your mobile number”).
Enter the +251 number
Select Ethiopia (+251) in Uber's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +251 into Uber.
Enter the Uber code
Uber sends a 4-digit code by SMS (WhatsApp in some markets). SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +251 number; type the code into Uber to finish.
Tips for Ethiopia numbers
- After +251, Ethiopia mobile numbers begin with 7, 9 — a quick check that you pasted the whole number.
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Lesotho costs $0.17 for Uber, against $0.71 here.
- A local number looks familiar to drivers and couriers who call you.
Why use an Ethiopia number for Uber?
Day-to-day life in Ethiopia runs on Telegram, Telebirr and Facebook, yet Uber remains the app for rides and deliveries with a local number drivers can reach. A +251 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Telegram-first country: Ethiopian businesses, news channels and shops run largely on Telegram, so a +251 number helps you join local groups and channels.
Uber logs you in by SMS and drivers contact you on the number during every trip.
