Each Checkout link opens payment with that plan selected: only the email address and payment remain.

## How it works

1. Choose a plan and pay on the product page (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or crypto).
2. The eSIM QR code arrives by email; install it before you travel (Settings > Mobile/Cellular > Add eSIM).
3. On arrival, select the eSIM for mobile data and turn on data roaming for it. Your own SIM stays in the phone for calls and SMS.

Data-only: the eSIM has no phone number. Requires an eSIM-compatible, carrier-unlocked phone.

## Your Lebanon eSIM runs on Alfa

Lebanon has two mobile networks, Alfa and touch; this eSIM uses Alfa. It does not switch to touch, so where Alfa's signal is weak there is no second network to fall back on. Alfa switched on its first 5G sites in Beirut in late 2025, but 5G is still limited to a few areas - you will be on 4G almost everywhere.

You get mobile internet, not a Lebanese number. WhatsApp, calls included, is widely used in Lebanon and has not been blocked, so you can message and call over WhatsApp as you do at home.

## Coverage outside Beirut

Beirut, the coast and the main towns generally have good 4G; mountain roads and parts of the Bekaa can be patchy. In the south and the Bekaa, many mobile sites were damaged during the fighting in 2024 and again in 2026 and have only partly been restored, so coverage there is unreliable. Several governments currently advise against travel to these areas - check your own government's travel advice before you go.

Power cuts are frequent, and local mobile outages have happened during fuel shortages, so keep a power bank with you.

## Arriving at Beirut airport (BEY)

Beirut-Rafic Hariri International (BEY) is currently Lebanon's only operating commercial airport. Travellers report that there is no SIM counter on arrival, and getting a local line usually means a shop visit with your passport - so set the eSIM up before you fly and it is ready to use when you land.

## eSIM or a local visitor line?

If you need a Lebanese number, touch sells a Visitor Line: as of October 2026 it costs $19 for the line plus $13 for a 10 GB, 14-day bundle, before tax. The eSIM saves you the shop visit; a local line adds a Lebanese number for calls and SMS. You can also use the eSIM for data and WhatsApp for calls.

## FAQ

### Can I switch between Alfa and touch?

No. This eSIM uses Alfa only. If you need touch's coverage somewhere specific, a local touch line is the alternative.

### Is there 5G in Lebanon?

Only at a few sites in Beirut so far, so expect 4G with this eSIM.

### Can I travel to the south of Lebanon with it?

Several governments advise against travel to the south and the Bekaa, and mobile coverage there is unreliable after damage to the network. Check your government's current advice first.
