The service is accessible via SMS, USSD, and smartphone applications. Telebirr works in five languages.

Though the service is fully accessible for any customer of Ethio telecom, the users need to register through the mobile application called Telebirr or using an authorized agent or Ethio telecom shop or Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD), *127# nationally.[6] However, Telebirr also provides a “quick registration” by using any information that already exists in Ethio telecom's system.[3]
