Mail to Ethiopia is carried the way mail is carried everywhere: a domain you verify once, DKIM keys Woyra generates, bounces and complaints suppressed automatically. What the Ethiopia endpoint changes is the account around it — ETB billing, and the ethiopia data region.
Proclamation 1321/2024 requires personal data about Ethiopians to stay in the country. Rather than promise that and route around it, Woyra runs a separate Ethiopian data plane: an Ethiopian account's personal data is held there, and a cross-region read is refused outright with a 451 rather than logged and permitted.
An account on the Ethiopia endpoint is billed in US dollars today. Billing in ETB is where this is going, and it is a real advantage when it arrives, but a converted price needs a published rate behind it and there is not one yet, so we quote one currency rather than invent a second. Funds are reserved at the published price when a message is accepted and settled when it is delivered; a message we never deliver is never charged for, and a hard spend cap you set is enforced rather than invoiced.
The same key sends SMS and one-time codes to +251 numbers, and the same domain receives: add the MX record and every address on it is an inbox, with replies linked to the email they answer.
No. Email is carried the same way everywhere; what changes is the account: ETB billing and the ethiopia data region.

Yes. One key covers email, SMS, verification and lookup, and a verification can use both channels in one request.
E.164: a plus, the country code +251, then the subscriber number, as in +251712345678. Woyra strips spaces, hyphens, brackets and a leading 00, but it will not guess a missing country code, because the same digits belong to a different subscriber in every country.
ethiopia.woyra.io, though the same API key works on every endpoint Woyra runs. Which one you call decides the compliance rules applied, the currency you are billed in, and — where residency requires it — which data plane answers.
