Find the best eSIM for Lebanon

There are 20+ travel eSIM providers and 100+ prepaid data plans available for use in Lebanon. While the selection is somewhat limited, travelers can still find a plan that meets their needs.

Currently, there are no unlimited data eSIM plans available for Lebanon. Travelers visiting the country should estimate their data usage based on anticipated activities such as web browsing, social media, map applications, and video streaming. Selecting a plan with a sufficient data allowance to comfortably cover these activities is recommended to avoid potential overage charges or service interruptions.

In Lebanon, the primary Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) are:

• Touch: Managed by the Kuwait-based Zain Group, Touch is the leading mobile telecommunications operator in Lebanon, offering extensive coverage and a range of voice and data services.

• Alfa: Managed by Egypt-based Orascom Telecom, Alfa provides comprehensive mobile services across Lebanon, including voice, data, and value-added services.

Lebanon does not have Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs); therefore, all mobile services are provided directly by these major MNOs.

Travel eSIM plans that include a phone number and SMS for use while visiting Lebanon are available from LinkeSIM, Orange Travel, Earth Esim, and TravelKon. Each of these offers provides a mobile number with the dialing code +33, which is the code for France, and the numbers support inbound and outbound voice calls as well as inbound and outbound SMS. The plans have validity periods of 30 to 31 days, data caps from 1 GB to 51 GB, and prices that start at about $19.90 and go up to roughly $40.73.

Because the dialling code is +33, the phone number issued by these eSIMs is not a local Lebanese number. Travelers who need a local Lebanese number would need to seek a different provider that offers numbers with the respective Lebanese code or use local SIM alternatives. The advertised plans still provide full voice, SMS, and data functionality for users while in Lebanon.
