Number ranges & quality

RangeTypeNotes
Starts with 03 / 70 / 71 / 76 / 78 / 79 / 81 Mobile carrier The numbering plan Lebanon's Ministry of Telecommunications notified to the ITU in September 2025: mobile ranges come in blocks of 100,000, interleaved between the two state networks — MIC1 (Alfa) and MIC2 (touch) — so both operators share each leading pair and the third digit decides. The old 03 range is 7 digits and dialled with a 0 domestically (03 xxx xxx); 70, 71, 76, 78, 79 and 81 are 8 digits with no 0. New blocks 790 (touch) and 794 (Alfa) came into service on 15 September 2025.

Carriers & prefixes

Mobile prefixes by carrier.

Number portability status unverified.

Porting rules in full

We found nothing from Lebanon's Ministry of Telecommunications on whether numbers can be ported, so this is marked unverified. Both networks are state-owned (MIC1 and MIC2 in the numbering plan), and ranges are interleaved between them in blocks of 100,000, so each operator's blocks are listed below by third digit.
