Getting a Lebanese SIM card has become more affordable in recent years.
Where you used to pay more than 20 USD for a SIM card in Lebanon, you can get a SIM card for much less, mainly because of government pressure.
Both Touch and Alfa sell SIM cards for 3 USD in their stores. You can get 1 GB of data for as low as 7 USD.
There is much more to know about purchasing SIM cards and getting data in Lebanon.
In this guide, I will go over everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Lebanon. Let's get started.

Can You Buy a SIM Card in Lebanon?
Everybody living in or visiting Lebanon is allowed to purchase a Lebanese SIM card. You have to ensure your SIM card is registered upon purchase.

Moreover, your phone needs to support Lebanon's frequencies, and it needs to be SIM-lock free (unlocked).
Can You Use Your Phone in Lebanon?
Lebanon uses GSM for its mobile telecommunications network. They use frequencies used in many regions around the world (Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania – ITU Regions 1 & 3).
However, these frequencies are not used in the Americas (North-, Central-, and South America + the Caribbean – ITU Region 2).
If you purchased your phone in Europe, Asia (including the Middle East), Africa, or Oceania, then you can use your phone when in Lebanon.
However, if you bought your phone in the Americas (North-, Central-, and South America + the Caribbean – ITU Region 2) and it is not a Tri-Band or Quad-Band device, then there is a possibility you cannot use your phone when in Lebanon or can only use slower networks (3G or 2G).
Mobile Operators, Networks & Frequencies in Lebanon
Lebanon has two mobile operators offering prepaid services easily accessible to travelers:
The following frequencies are used by the Lebanese operators:
- 2G: 900 MHz
- 3G: 2100 MHz
- 4G/LTE: 800 MHz (Band 20) & 1800 MHz (Band 3)
You can learn more about frequencies in the video below.
To check whether your phone will work in Lebanon, check out this page by Kimovil or this one by Will My Phone Work (outdated, unfortunately, but extremely user-friendly – useful for phones launched in or before 2019. It does not check for 5G NR compatibility).
Again, make sure your phone is unlocked. Otherwise, you will not be able to use any SIM card except the one from your home operator (meaning you have to roam internationally or buy another unlocked phone that does support the frequencies listed above).
If you want to learn how international roaming works, this guide explains it in-depth. If you wonder why it is often so expensive to roam, this article explains the hidden reason they do not want you to know.
Best SIM Card in Lebanon
If you want to buy a SIM card in Lebanon, I recommend going with either Touch or Alfa. The coverage with both operators is on par and extensive. Speeds are high with both Touch and Alfa. Alfa is slightly cheaper than Touch and offers more packages and bundles.
SIM Card Registration in Lebanon
SIM card registration with your passport information is required in Lebanon. This will be done at the point of sale.

IMEI (Phone) Registration in Lebanon
As of 2018, IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) registration is mandatory when using a Lebanese SIM card and staying in the country for more than 90 days. Additionally, you will be required to pay import duties on your device, which is 15% of your phone's original price.
IMEI registration and paying the import duties do not apply when you roam in Lebanon or using a Lebanese SIM card for fewer than 90 days.
Those who want to keep a Lebanese number and do not wish to register their phones or pay import duties can consider getting a tourist SIM card.
Those SIM cards are not subject to IMEI registration and do not require you to register your phone. Moreover, they are valid for 1 year (although the original bundles have a much smaller validity).
To be eligible for a tourist SIM card, you must not be a resident of Lebanon and have an entry stamp stamped no more than 90 days ago before purchasing the SIM card.
Lebanon Speeds, Internet Prices & Insights
Mobile internet speeds are exceptionally high in the Middle East. Often, the mobile speeds are higher than fixed broadband speeds.
This also applies to Lebanon.
Lebanon's average mobile download speed is 42 Mbps, placing Lebanon in the top 40 on the Speedtest Global Index.
For reference, the world average mobile download is around 36 Mbps, so Lebanon's speeds are slightly above the world average.
How about mobile data rates in Lebanon? Is data expensive in the country?
The average price for 1 GB of data in Lebanon is 3.82 USD, which is less than the Middle Eastern average of 4.46 USD. The world average of 5.03 USD.
That is all according to Cable.co.uk.
But do not let this figure fool you – it is the average. You will notice that you have to spend almost double to get 1 GB of data.
Although the average costs seem low. In reality, mobile data in Lebanon is quite expensive by Middle Eastern standards.
However, the SIM cards themselves are affordable, and mobile coverage is close to excellent.
Currency in Lebanon
Lebanon uses the Lebanese Pound with the symbol LBP. However, LBP is pegged to the US Dollar (USD). 1 USD is, officially, 1507.50 LBP. 0.01 USD would be 15.07. However, local shops and banks may use a different exchange rate.
USD is widely accepted in Lebanon but expect change back in LBP. Prices in Lebanon are often listed in USD, which applies to the mobile operators in the country. However, you can always pay in LBP.
In this guide, USD will be used for pricing, as that is what the mobile operators use.
If your credit/debit card charges you foreign exchange fees, get yourself a Wise Borderless Account and Debit Card.
Their fees are MUCH lower than banks and credit card companies charge you (and Wise is transparent about their fees, unlike banks).
I have saved literal THOUSANDS of Australian Dollars and Euros, my main currencies, when using Wise abroad when traveling compared to my debit and credit cards.

With that being said, let’s see what Lebanon has to offer to us.
