Lebanon telephone number changes

[admin]

From December 10, 2020 new fixed (PSTN) number ranges were introduced for all geographic locations in Lebanon. For each existing 1 digit area code a new 2 digit code was introduced by prepending digit 2 to it. Note that this isn’t a migration from old to new numbers – all existing fixed telephone numbers remain unchanged, but it is rather a plan to slowly introduce a unified 8 digit closed numbering plan.

The newly introduced phone numbers do not require the use of a trunk code (0) when dialed from Lebanon. This has been the case for 8 digit mobile numbers in the ranges 7x xxx xxx and 8x xxx xxx since their introduction.

New PSTN number range	Location
21 xxx xxx	Beirut area
24 xxx xxx	Mount Lebanon, Metn area
25 xxx xxx	Mount Lebanon, Chouf area
26 xxx xxx	North Lebanon
27 xxx xxx	South Lebanon
28 xxx xxx	Bekaa area
29 xxx xxx	Mount Lebanon, Jbeil and Keserwan area
